Answer:

5 kittens and 6 children

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use variables to find the number of kittens (K) and children (C)

each kitten will have 4 legs and each child will have 2.

You can make two equations like so:

4k+2c=32

k+c=11

You then can use the substitution method to solve for both variables:

k+c=11

Subtract k from each side:

c=11-k

Substitute this into the other equation:

4k+2(−k+11)=32

Solve for k:

4k-2k+22=32

2k=10

k=5

Then use this in one of the equations to find the other variable:

k+c=11

5+c=11

Rewrite this to make it easier:

11-5=c

c=6

k=5 and c=6

you can check this by substituting each of these value to make sure the equations are true:

k+c=11

5+6=11

11=11

4k+2c=32

4(5)+2(6)=32

20+12=32

32=32

They both check right, so

c=6 and k=5

are your answers.

There are 5 kittens and 6 children in the backyard

There is your answer

Hope this helps!

Patricia is studying a polynomial function f(x). Three given roots of f(x) are -11-square root 2i, 3 + 4i, and 10. Patricia conc
Tresset [83]

In order for the polynomial to be a degree of 4, it must have exactly 4 roots. According to the fundamental theorem of algebra: "The number of roots in a function is equivalent to the degree of the function"

These roots do not have to be real numbers, which means they can be imaginary or complex.

In this case, (-11 - √2i), (3 + 4i), and 10. There are three roots, which means that the polynomial can be a third of fourth degree polynomial. It is wrong for Patricia to assume that this is a fourth degree polynomial when only three roots are known.

<h3><u>The degree of the polynomial will at least be three, but could be higher.</u></h3>

Vladimir [108]

P(Larger or blue) = 7/10. In a bag we have blue and red marbels, which are large and small as in the table shown in the image, the probability of taking a large or blue marble is 7/10.

The key to solve this problem is find the probability of the union events using the equation P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B).

For this problem we have P(Large or Blue) = P(Large) + P(Blue) - P(Large and Blue). The total of the large ones is 25 and the small ones is 15, meaning that the sum of both is 40. P(large) = 25/40, P(Blue) 20/40, and P(Large and Blue) = 17/40

P(Large or Blue) = 25/40 + 20/40 - 17/40 = 28/40 dividing by 4 both terms of the fraction.

P(large or Blue) = 7/10
