Answer:
C & D
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
I think: 0 = 3x + b or b = -3x + 0 or x = -b + 0/3 or 3 = -b + 0/x
Sorry if you get this wrong..
Power and chain rule (where the power rule kicks in because 
):
Simplify the leading term as
Quotient rule:
Chain rule:
Put everything together and simplify:
I believe you need to solve this using the quadratic formula!
To begin, this is what it is:
x= -b ± <span>√ b^2 - 4ac / 2a
Just plug in what you have in your problem...
2 being a, 13 being b, and -24 being c.
So we get:
x= -13 </span>± <span>√13^2 - 4(2)(-24) / 2(2)
x= -13 </span><span>± √169 - 8 (-24) / 4</span>
<span>x= -13 <span>± √169 + 192 / 4</span>
x= -13 </span>± √<span>361 / 4
The square root of 361 is 19.
So you have: -13 </span><span>± 19 / 4.
Here's where you take the equation </span>-13 <span>± 19 and put the addition and subtraction sign to use.
-13 - 19 = -32
and
-13 + 19 = 6
Now all is left to do is divide the two numbers by 4.
-32/4 = -8
and
6/4 = 3/2
x = -8, 3/2</span>
Based on the ratio of boys/girls We can infer that the only possibility for Ellen's math class would be answer B. 14/21
