Answer:

72 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

120 * .60. That's how you solve it! Hope it helps!

Further explanation:

To get .60, you divide 3 by 5 which is .60

Then you multiply 120 times .60 and you'll get 72 which is 72 boys

Bonus: 120 - 72 = 48 girls!

Answer:

There are 45 boys.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to easily solvethis is by making equations, see below.

let \: b \: represent \: number \: of \: boys \\ let \: g \: represent \: number \: of \: girls

b + g = 120 \\ b =  \frac{3}{5} g

Now we can subtract the secons equation from the first.

g = 120 -  \frac{3}{5} g

I'm also goong to multiply the equatipn by 5 to remove the fraction.

5g =  - 3g + 600

Now simplify

8g = 600 \\ g = 75

Now we found out there are 75 girls. Now we insert this into our second equation to find how many boys there are.

b + 75 = 120 \\ b = 45

Now we know there are 45 boys.

Ad libitum [116K]

we know that

i^{2} =-1

we have

\sqrt{-16} =\sqrt{(-1)*(16)} =\sqrt{(-1)*(4^{2})}

substitute the value of i^{2}=-1 in the expression above

\sqrt{(-1)*(4^{2})}=\sqrt{i^{2}*4^{2}} \\ \\= 4i

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

4i

Determine if the equation defines y as a function of x: 2xy=1
Leona [35]
Solve for y...

2xy=1

y=1/(2x)

So this is a function as each x value (with the exception of x=0) produces just one value for y.  However, technically there is a vertical asymptote about the vertical line x=0.  So there is a discontinuity as x=0.

I say this technically, because most would say that this function is true even with the discontinuity (as they do with say y=tana), but technically the discontinuity makes this not a function because another requirement of a function is for their to be an actual output value for each input value.  In this case division by zero when x=0 is undefined and cannot be included as part of a function.  So if you are picky about being absolute, 2xy=1 is really two functions.  One with a domain of (-oo,0) and another with a domain of (0,+oo).

BartSMP [9]

Answer: 6 hours; the number of hours students watch television when they do not exercise

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  The x-axis is labeled hours spent exercising, and the y-axis is labeled hours spent watching TV .

From the given scatter plot and with repect to the given optionsa , a data point is located at x=0 and y=6, which represents the y intercept of the line of best fit.

Here 6 represents 6 hours; the number of hours students watch television when they do not exercise. [since x=0]
