A biologist studying the relationship between tilapia and catfish in a pond finds that the ratio of tilapia to catfish is 6:20.

If the pond has 30 catfish, how many tilapia are in the pond?

Answer: 9 tilapia

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of 6:20 for tilapia to catfish means that for every six tilapia, there are 20 catfish in the pond.

If there are 30 catfish, use direct proportion to find out the number of tilapia:

6     :      20

x     :       30

Cross multiply:

20x = 180

x = 180 / 20

x = 9 tilapia

\sqrt{64}=8\\\\8\dfrac17=8.14285714...\\\\8.\overline{14}=8.14141414...\\\\ \dfrac{15}2=7,5\\\\\\ \boxed{\ \dfrac{15}2\ \ \textless \ \ \sqrt{64}\ \ \textless \ \ 8.\overline{14}\ \ \textless \ \ 8\dfrac17\ }

\sqrt{18}  doesn't belong with the other three because it is irrational number
The other three can be expressed as a ratio between two <span>integers.

-\dfrac{10}2=\dfrac{-10\ }2\\\\-13.4=-13\frac4{10}=\frac{-134}{\ 10}\\\\ 22.\overline7=22\frac79=\frac{205}9\\\\\\ \sqrt{18}=\sqrt{9\cdot2}=\sqrt9\cdot\sqrt2=3\sqrt2

If f(x) = 4x2 - 5x + 7 and g(x) = 3x2 - 2x + 8, find f(x) + g(x). A) 7x2 - 7x + 15 B) 7x4 - 7x2 + 15 C) 7x2 + 15 D) 12x4 - 8x3 +
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

A) 7x^2-7x+15

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4x2 - 5x + 7,

g(x) = 3x2 - 2x + 8

f(x) +g(x) =

4x^2 - 5x + 7 + 3x^2 - 2x + 8=

7x^2-7x+15

Apply the zero matirx:<br> [16 -24] + [ 0 0 ]=[ x y]<br> X=? Y=?
Ainat [17]

Answer:

x = 16

y = -24

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the addition of matrices is done when matrices are of the same dimension. In this case, you are in fact adding matrices of the same dimension (dimension 1x2). Recall as well that in the addition of matrices, the elements of each matrix combine only with the element located in the exact same position in the other matrix.

So for this case the first element of the first matrix "16" combines with the first element of the second matrix "0" resulting in an element of value16 + 0 =16 in the new matrix.

Equally, the second element of the first matrix "-24" combines with the second element of the second matrix, resulting in : -24 + 0 = -24.

Therefore, the matrix resultant from this addition is: [16   -24] (same form of the first matrix, which indicates that adding a zero matrix to an existing matrix will not change the first matrix.

Axis of symmetry: x=4; points: (3,-2), (6,-26); opening downward
Andru [333]
Vertex form is
y=a(x-h)^2+k
vertex is (h,k)
axis of symmetry is x=4, therfor h=4
y=a(x-4)^2+k

we have some points
(3,-2) and (6,-26)
input and solve for a and k

(3,-2)
-2=a(3-4)^2+k
-2=a(-1)^2+k
-2=a(1)+k
-2=a+k

(6,-26)
-26=a(6-4)^2+k
-26=a(2)^2+k
-26=a(4)+k
-26=4a+k

we have

-2=a+k
-26=4a+k
multiply first equation by -1 and add to second

2=-a-k
<u>-26=4a+k +</u>
-24=3a+0k

-24=3a
divide both sides by 3
-8=a

-2=a+k
-2=-8+k
add 8 to both sides
6=k

the equation is
y=-8(x-4)^2+6
