Answer:

Therefore, the number of adults at the football game was 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represents the number of adults and C represents the number of children.

Therefore, the ratio of children to adults is given as follows:

23:1 = C:A ....................... (1)

Since C = 140, this is substituted into equation (1) as follows:

23:1 = = 140:A ....................... (2)

Transforming equation (2) and solve for A, we have:

23 / (23 + 1) = 140 / (140 + A)

23 / 24 = 140 / (140 + A)

0.958333333333333 = 140 / (140 + A)

0.958333333333333 (140 + A) = 140

(0.958333333333333 * 140) + 0.958333333333333A = 140

134.166666666667 + 0.958333333333333A = 140

0.958333333333333A = 140 -134.166666666667

0.958333333333333A = 5.833333333333

A = 5.833333333333 / 0.958333333333333

A = 6.08695652173878

Rounding to a whole number, we have:

A = 6

Therefore, the number of adults at the football game was 6.

Find a function f such that f '(x) = 5x3 and the line 40x + y = 0 is tangent to the graph of f.
Alex17521 [72]

The function that is a  tangent to the graph of f is f(x) = (5/4)x^4+60

<h3>What is the concept of integral?</h3>

The definite integral can be interpreted as the resulting area of a region. In addition, it is a value in its result, that is, it does not depend on the variable x, which can be exchanged for any other variable without changing the value of the integral.

Knowing that :

  • 40x + y = 0 is tangent of f(x)
  • slope of the line = -40

therefore, f'(x)|x=a = -40, so only look for a we have:

5a^3 = -40\\a^3 = -8\\a = -2

if, x = -2, then y = 80 (since, 40x + y = 0), therefore, f(x) passes through (-2,80), so in the equation:

f'(x) = 5x^3\\f(x) = (5/4)x^4 + c\\80 = (5/4)(-2)^4 + c\\c = 60

Therefore,

f(x) = (5/4)x^4+60

Find the missing number in this proportion.<br><br> 7 2<br> = <br> 4
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know which one you are supposed to solve it by so I will do both.

Solution by Cross Multiplication

For the equation

7x=24

The cross product is

7×4=x×2

Solving for x

x=7×42

and reducing

x=14

Solution by Proportion

Since the equation is an equality

If

7 ÷ 2 = 3.5

Then it is true that

x ÷ 4 = 3.5

Solving for x

x = 4 × 3.5

x = 14
