Answer:

Ratio = 11:9

Boys = 440

Girls = 360

Explanation:

Given that, in a school,

Total number of students = 800

Also,

Percent of boys = 55%

Therefore, number of boys = 55% of 800

No. of boys = 55/100 x 800

No. of boys = 55 x 8 =

No. of boys = 440

Therefore, we will get,

No. of girls = (800-440)

No. of girls = 360

Therefore, we will get,

Ratio of boys to girls = 440/360

Ratio = (40*11)/(40x9)

Ratio = 11/9

Hence, the ratio of boys to girls is 11:9 and number of boys and girls is 440 and 360 respectively.

(x-1)(x-3)(x+5)(x+7)=297

mihalych1998 [28]

First simplify the expression into polynomial form,

$(x-1)(x-3)(x+5)(x+7)=297$

$x^4+8x^3-10x^2-104x+105=297$

$x^4+8x^3-10x^2-104x-192=0$

Now factor into,

$(x-4)(x+8)(x^2+4x+6)=0$

Which means the solutions are,

$x-4=0\implies\boxed{x_1=4}$

$x+8=0\implies\boxed{x_2=-8}$

and then two complex solutions because determinant of the third factor $D\lt0$ ,

$x^2+4x+6=0$

$x^2+4x+4=-2$

$(x+2)^2=-2\implies\boxed{x_3=i\sqrt{2}-2},\boxed{x_4=-i\sqrt{2}-2}$

Hope this helps :)
