You don't define the ratio, so there are two answers:
If 2/3 is boys to girls, then,
2/3 = 24/x
x = 36 girls

If 2/3 is girls to boys, then,
2/3 = x/24
x = 16 girls

(Boys) 24:36 (Girls)


If there are 24 boys then you’d divide the ratio from the boys part of the ratio (2) with the total (24) which is 12. The multiply 12 with the ratio number from the girls side of the ratio which is 3 to get the new ratio of both

2:3 ratio of boys:girls
Total: 24 boys

24(total boys) /2 (from ratio of boys) = 12 (difference)

12(difference) x 3 (from ratio of girls) = 36 (total girls)

New ratio of boys to girls is a 24:36

Note: if the ratio of boys increase then the ratio for girls increases by the same amount

What is the range of the function below in set builder notation? y=|x-3|
Kisachek [45]

Answer:  \{y | \ y \in \mathbb{R}, \ y \ge 0\}

This translates to "y is any real number such that it is 0 or larger".

The reasoning is that the result of any absolute value function is either 0 or positive. In other words, we'll never get a negative result of an absolute value function. This is due to how absolute value represents distance. Negative distance does not make sense.

So if y = |x-3| then y = 0 is the smallest output possible. We could have any positive output we want.

In terms of a graph (see below), the V shape is at the lowest point (3,0). The y coordinate is all we care about in terms of finding the range. So we see the lowest y value is y = 0.

PLZ SOMEONE HELP ME AND EXPLAIN <br> THX
ELEN [110]
The graph of g is one-fifth as steep as the graph of f.

The function g basically takes the inputs for f and multiplies them by one-fifth, which means the outputs are one-fifth times those of f. Multiplying by one-fifth makes something smaller (it's the same as dividing by five). It helps to visualize this relationship, so I've attache the graphs below.

45. For customers generating their own solar power, ZG&amp;E charges them $3 per month per kilowatt (kWh) for excess electricity
uranmaximum [27]

(A) The customer that owns a 3-kW system exports 120 kWh monthly to the grid will have the following bills for both companies:

For ZG&E that collects $3 per kWh on a monthly basis, the monthly bill will be

120kWh\times\frac{\$3}{1kWh}=\$360

For Ready Edison that collects $0.06 per kWh exported energy monthly, the computation of bill will be

\$20+(120kWh\times\frac{\$0.06}{1kWh})=\$27.2

(B) The customer that owns a 5-kW system exports 300 kWh monthly to the grid will have the following bills for both companies:

For ZG&E that collects $3 per kWh on a monthly basis, the monthly bill will be

300kWh\times\frac{\$3}{1kWh}=\$900

For Ready Edison that collects $0.06 per kWh exported energy monthly, the computation of bill will be

\$20+(300kWh\times\frac{\$0.06}{1kWh})=\$38

1.What letter can you draw on a coordinate plane to help you remember the order of the quadrants?
weeeeeb [17]
1. I would call quadrants i, ii, iii, iv as a, b, c, d

<span>2.Which type of variables are usually on the y-axis and represent output?
</span>they usually are the dependent variables, that is, they depend on the x value, such as velocity, price, income.

3.Which type of variables are usually on the x-axis and represent input?
those are the independent variables such as time, distance, price.

<span>4.Which type of slope is represented on a graph as a horizontal line? </span>
the slope of an horizontal line is zero.

<span>5.Find the slope of 2x + 4y = 12
</span>the general form of the line is:
4y = - 2x + 12
y = -(1/2)x + 3

hence the slope is -1/2
