There are four boys to every five girls in an introductory geology course. If there are 387 students enrolled in the course, how many are boys?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 172 boys.

Step-by-step explanation: The ratio of boys to girls is 4:5. We can say that the number of boys in the class is four multiplied by the common value that the ratio is based on. We can call this common value x and say that the number of boys in the class is 4x. Applying the same logic to the girls, we can say that there are 5x girls in the class. Thus, a total of 9x children. We divide the total value by 9 to get x, which equals 43. We can then retrieve the number of boys by calculating 4x, which equals 172.

probability is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of possible outcomes.

Given that:

Every member and set of members has an equal chance of being included in the sample.

Technology, random number generators, or some other sort of chance process is needed to get a simple random sample.

A random sample is a poll in which the individuals who are taking the poll are not specific or biased. In this case it is a specific group of people, people whose house number ends with 1.

In ΔDEF, the measure of ∠F=90°, DF = 24, FE = 7, and ED = 25. What ratio represents the sine of ∠E?

Answers

Answer:

24/25

Step-by-step explanation:

In this triangle DF and FE are legs (because they form the right angle) , ED is the hypotenuse (it is the largest side, it is opposite to the right angle).

son of E is the ratio of the leg opposite to the angle E (DF) to the hypotenuse

a) Show that the equation 2 x + 3 cos x + e^x = 0 has a root on the
interval (-1,0)
b) Use the Bisection method to find the solution of 2 x + 3 cos x +
e^x = 0. accurate with in 10-3. On (-1,0). (Use four digits-Rounding)

Answers

a) The equation has a root in the interval (-1,0)

b) The solution of [tex]2x+3cos(x)+e^{x}=0[/tex] by using the Bisection Method is x=0.9977 accurate within [tex]10^{-3}[/tex]

a) The intermediate zero theorem (Bolzano's Theorem) tells us that whenever you have a continuous function in a given interval and the extremes of the functions on this interval have oposite signs, then there must be a zero in between those extreme values.

A formal definition of this theorem is written like this:

"If a function f on the closed interval [a,b] is a continuous function and it holds that f(a)>0 and f(b)<0 or f(a)<0 and f(b)>0, then there is at least one x-value such that f(x)=0"

So basically we need to evaluate the given equation for both extremes of the interval x=-1 and x=0, if they return results opposite in sign, then there must be a zero in that interval, so let's evaluate the function for x=-1:

[tex]2x+3cos(x)+e^{x}[/tex]

[tex]2(-1)+3cos(-1)+e^{-1}=-0.0112[/tex]

Let's now test for x=0

[tex]2x+3cos(x)+e^{x}[/tex]

[tex]2(0)+3cos(0)+e^{0}=4[/tex]

So notice we ended up with two values -0.0112 and 4. One is positive and the other is negative, therefore there must be a zero in that interval.

b) The zero is located at x=-0.9977

The idea of the bisection method is to find values for x in the middle of two x-values that return opposite sign answers when evaluated on the given function. So we can start with the extremes of the given interval:

x=-1 and x=0

so we find the value in the middle by using the following formula:

[tex]mid-value=\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}[/tex]

so we get:

[tex]mid-value=\frac{-1+0}{2}[/tex]

mid-value=-0.5

Next, we evaluate the given function for that value:

[tex]2(-0.5)+3cos(-0.5)+e^{-0.5}=2.2393[/tex]

Since we got a positive answer, we now find the midpoint between -0.5 and -1 (which was the last x-value that returned a negative answer) so we get:

[tex]mid-value=\frac{-1-0.5}{2}[/tex]

mid-value=-0.75

Next, we evaluate the given function for that value:

[tex]2(-0.75)+3cos(-0.75)+e^{-0.75}=1.1674[/tex]

and we repeat the process until que get to the desired accuracy. I uploaded a table that has the corresponding iterations and its answers. There were 14 iterations done until we got to the final answer x=-0.9977.

Answer:

To solve for a, you will need to get that variable alone on one side. First you will multiply each side by variable b. This will give you the equation pb = 3a + 4. Next you subtract 4 from each side. This puts it at pb - 4 = 3a. After that you’ll divide both sides by 3 and get a alone. This gives you (pb - 4)/3 = a or, if you switch it around, a = (pb - 4)/3. This is the simplest form when solving for a in this equation.

Water boils at 100° Celsius and above. Which inequality describes the temperatures at which water would boil?

Answers

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The required inequality is given as x ≥ 100 as the water boils at 100°C and above, Option B is correct.

What is inequality?

Inequality can be defined as the relation of the equation containing the symbol of ( ≤, ≥, <, >) instead of the equal sign in an equation.

here,
As given in the question,
Water boils at 100°C and above,
So let x be the temperature of the water,
And according to the condition,
x ≥ 100° C

Thus, the inequality x ≥ 100 is shown in option B.

Thus, the required inequality is given as x ≥ 100 as the water boils at 100°C and above, and Option B is correct.
