Answer: About 12 of those 60 students are boys.

To find the percent, you'll convert 20% to a decimal.

20 / 100 = 0.2

Then, multiply 60 by 0.2

0.2 × 20 = 12

That's one way, another way is:

Convert 20% to a fraction.

20% = 1/5

Then multiply 60 by 1/5.

60 × 1/5 = 60/5

Lastly, divide 60 by 5

60 / 5 = 12.

Hence, 12 is the answer.

What is the vertex of the graph of y = x^2+ 4x?

Answer:

(-2, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can complete the square of the equation to get

y+(4/2)^2 = x^2+4x+(4/2)^2

y+4 = x^2 + 4x + 4

y+4 = (x+2)^2

y = (x+2)^2 - 4

This gives the form y = a(x-h)^2 + k where (h, k) is the vertex of the equation. You can also arrive at the same conclusion by making some observations of the equation. (x+2)^2 minimum value is going to be 0 since and negative values resulting from x+2 is going to become positive because of the square. So the minimum value is when x+2 is 0 or when x is equal to -2 and when it's at that minimum value of 0 it's going to have 4 subtracted from it which gives the vertex of (-2, -4)
