Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students = 450

20 % are girls

So, number of girls = $20\% \times 450$

= $\frac{20}{100} \times 450$

= $\frac{1}{5} \times 450$

= $90$

Now let no. of students having mobile phones be x

So, number of students not having mobile phones = 450-x

Now we are given that A group of students have mobile phones with them, of which 40% are girls

So, This implies 60% of boys out of x having mobile phones.

So, number of girls having mobile phone = $\frac{40}{100}x$

Now we are given that Of those students without a mobile phone, only 10% are girls

So, number of girls not having mobile phone = $\frac{10}{100}(450-x)$

So, total number of girls :

= $\frac{40}{100}x+\frac{10}{100}(450-x)=90$

= $4500-10x+40x=9000$

= $4500+30x=9000$

= $30x=4500$

= $x=\frac{4500}{30}$

= $x=150$

So, Number of boys having mobile phone = $\frac{60}{100} \times 150$

= $90$

Hence there are 90 boys have mobile phones in that room.

Answer:

216 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

450 students: 20% girls, 80% boys

450*20%=90 girls

450*80%=360 boys

Students having mobile phones: 40% (OF THE 90) girls, 60% (OF THE 360) boys

90*40%=36 girls

360*60%=216 boys

[We honestly don't need to care about the girls without mobile phones as they are only asking how many boys have mobile phones]

Kazeer [188]

If we take it that, the total amount is say hmmm "x"
then one can say that $\bf \begin{cases}
\cfrac{2}{5}x\impliedby &\textit{no horns}\\\\
\cfrac{1}{7}x\impliedby &\textit{one horn}\\\\
\cfrac{1}{3}x\impliedby &\textit{two horns}\\\\
26\impliedby &remaining
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\textit{so the total is really }\quad \cfrac{2}{5}x+\cfrac{1}{7}x+\cfrac{1}{3}x+26$

add up the fractions of "x" and the constant of 26

You are setting up a zip line in your yard. You map out your yard in a coordinate plane. An equation of the line representing th

Pachacha [2.7K]

Solving this problem needs the distance formula of point to a line.

The formula is:

distance = | a x + b y + c | / √ (a^2 + b^2)

So we are given the equation: y = 2 x + 4

Rewriting this would be: y – 2 x – 4 = 0 -> a = -2, b = 1, c = -4

We are also given the points:

(-4, 11) = (x, y)

Plugging it in the distance formula at points (x, y):

distance = | -2 * -4 + 1 * 11 + -4 | / √ [(- 2)^2 + (1)^2]

= 15 / √ (5)

= 6.7

So the tree is approximately 6.7 feet away from the zip line.

Verify the given linear approximation at a = 0. Then determine the values of x for which the linear approximation is accurate to

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Part 1)

See Below.

Part 2)

$\displaystyle (-0.179, -0.178) \cup (-0.010, 0.012)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

The linear approximation <em>L</em> for a function <em>f</em> at the point <em>x</em> = <em>a</em> is given by:

$\displaystyle L \approx f'(a)(x-a) + f(a)$

We want to verify that the expression:

$1-36x$

Is the linear approximation for the function:

$\displaystyle f(x) = \frac{1}{(1+9x)^4}$

At <em>x</em> = 0.

So, find f'(x). We can use the chain rule:

$\displaystyle f'(x) = -4(1+9x)^{-4-1}\cdot (9)$

Simplify. Hence:

$\displaystyle f'(x) = -\frac{36}{(1+9x)^{5}}$

Then the slope of the linear approximation at <em>x</em> = 0 will be:

$\displaystyle f'(1) = -\frac{36}{(1+9(0))^5} = -36$

And the value of the function at <em>x</em> = 0 is:

$\displaystyle f(0) = \frac{1}{(1+9(0))^4} = 1$

Thus, the linear approximation will be:

$\displaystyle L = (-36)(x-(0)) + 1 = 1 - 36x$

Hence verified.

Part B)

We want to determine the values of <em>x</em> for which the linear approximation <em>L</em> is accurate to within 0.1.

In other words:

$\displaystyle \left| f(x) - L(x) \right | \leq 0.1$

By definition:

$\displaystyle -0.1\leq f(x) - L(x) \leq 0.1$

Therefore:

$\displaystyle -0.1 \leq \left(\frac{1}{(1+9x)^4} \right) - (1-36x) \leq 0.1$

We can solve this by using a graphing calculator. Please refer to the graph shown below.

We can see that the inequality is true (i.e. the graph is between <em>y</em> = 0.1 and <em>y</em> = -0.1) for <em>x</em> values between -0.179 and -0.178 as well as -0.010 and 0.012.

In interval notation:

$\displaystyle (-0.179, -0.178) \cup (-0.010, 0.012)$

Are you sure you didn’t miss anything while writing the question?

Cause we have nothing to go off. Everybody types differently so there is no way for us to say how long he typed for, unless we were given aprox how many words he wrote in a minute or something
