Step-by-step explanation:

so 2/3 OF the class are boys...

***REMEMBER IN MATHEMATICS, ^OF^ IS USED TO SAY MULTPLICATION***

so 2/3 OF class(x) are boys and there are 12 boys...

so 2/3 * x = 12

12 / (2/3) = x

to solve use the Keep, Change, Flip method

Keep 12, change / to multiplication, flip 2/3 to 3/2

it becomes 12 * 3/2 and to solve easier 12 is same thing as 12/1

12/1 * 3/2

Multiply across (numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator)

(12*3) / (1*2) = 36 / 2

Simplify

18

So the class has 18 students, and 2/3 of boys (12 of the students)

we can solve for how many girls are in the class

Depending on how your teacher wants to see the work:

either 18 - 12 = 6

or 1/3 * 18 which we rewrite as 1/3 * 18/1 = (1*18)/(3*1) which is 18/3... simplified it is  6

There are 6 girls in the class.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

  (d)   f(x) = 2x^2 - 16x + 35

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coordinate of the extreme will be found at ...

  x = -b/(2a)

where the function is f(x) = ax²+bx+c.

The extreme will be a minimum when a > 0. (eliminates choices A and B)

The x-coordinates of the extremes are ...

  C: -(-4)/(2(4)) = 1/2

  D: -(-16)/(2(2)) = 4 . . . . . matches the requirement

The appropriate choice is ...

  f(x) = 2x^2 - 16x + 35
