From the ratio you can deduce 2:5 girls and 3:5 boys. Divide 54 by 5 and you get 10.8. 10.8*2 = 21.6 and 10.8*2= 32.4 which adds to the total 54. There cannot be a fraction of a person, you need to round the decimals. There are 22 girls and 32 boys.

Consider function f.
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Check for continuity by evaluating 2^x and -x^2 - 4x + 1 at the break point x = 0:  2^0 is 1 and -x^2 - 4x + 1 is also 1, so these two functions approach the same value as x approaches 0.

Now do the same thing with

-x^2 - 4x + 1 and (1/2)x + 3 at x = 2; the first comes out to -11 and the second to 4.  Thus, this function is not continuous at x = 2.  

We must reject statement A.

Statement B:  as x increases without bound, (1/2)x + 3 also increases without bound.  This statement is true.

Statement C:  False, because the quadratic -x^2 - 4x + 1 has a maximum at

x = -b/[2a], or x = -(-4)/[-2], or x = -2

Statement D:  True:  there are no limitations on the values of the input, x.

Which equation represents a circle that contains the point (-5, -3) and has a center at (-2, 1)?
Daniel [21]

The correct answer is: (x + 2)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Point on circle = P = (-5,-3)

Centre = C = (-2,1)

The distance between C and P is the radius of circle.

So,

CP = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\= \sqrt{(-5+2)^2+(-3-1)^2}\\=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-4)^2}\\= \sqrt{9+16}\\=\sqrt{25}\\=5\ units

Hence,

r = 5 units

The general form of equation of circle is:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2 = r^2

Here (h,k) are the coordinates of circle

(h,k) = (-2,1)

Putting the values in standard equation

(x-(-2))^2+(y-1)^2 = (5)^2\\(x+2)^2+(y-1)^2 = 25

Hence,

The correct answer is: (x + 2)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 25

When constructing a perpendicular bisector, why must the compass opening be greater the 1/2 than the length of the segment?
Alex787 [66]

Answer.

It is Important to open the compass more than half the length so that the arcs made would meet.

Explanation.

When you want to construct a perpendicular line to a line segment, say line AB, the follow steps are taken;

1) Open your compass to a radius greater than half the line AB.

2) With A as your center make an arc on top and below line AB.

3) Using the same radius and with B as our center, make other arcs on top and below line AB to meet the first arcs on both sides of the line.

4) Join the two intersection of the two arcs to cut line AB at M.

In so doing the line AB is said to be bisected perpendicularly. If the compass was opened less than half line AB, then the arcs could not have meet.
