9. The number of books in a class library is 17 more than 3 times the number of students in the class. If 5 students are absent, each student can borrow exactly 4 books from the library. Find the number of students in the class.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 37 students in the class

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = number of books,

Let s = number of students

We get the following expressions:

n = 3s + 17

4 = [tex]\frac{n}{s-5}[/tex]

Solve this system using substitution:

[tex]4=\frac{3s+17}{s-5}[/tex]

[tex]4(s-5) = \frac{3s+17}{s-5} (s-5)[/tex]

[tex]4s -20 = 3s+17\\[/tex]

[tex]s-37 = 0\\[/tex]

[tex]s=37[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

x = 4/7, 5

Please mark Brainliest :)

Answer:

x = 4/7 or x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add to 3 to both sides

[tex]7x^2-39x+17+3=-3+3[/tex] [tex]7x^2-39x+20=0[/tex]

Step 2: Factor by grouping

This equation is in the form ax² + bx + c = 0. Since there are no terms that multiply to 20 and add to -39, we have to find terms that multiply to a (7) * (20) and add to -39.

Factors of 140: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 70, and 140-35 x -4 = 120, and -35 - 4 = -39. Thus, the two terms are -35 and -4.

Now, we split -39x into -35x and -4.

7x^2 - 35x - 4x + 20.(7x² - 35x) + (-4x + 20)

Next, we factor each expression in the parentheses. After that, we put the terms outside the parentheses together. Reminder, the terms inside the parentheses should be the same.

[tex]7x(x-5)-4(x-5)[/tex] [tex](7x-4)(x-5) = 0[/tex]

Step 3: Solve for x using 7x - 4 = 0 and x - 5 = 0.

[tex]7x-4=0[/tex] [tex]7x-4+4=0+4[/tex] [tex]7x=4[/tex] [tex]7x/7 = 4/7[/tex] [tex]x= 4/7[/tex]

Answers

Answer: The answer to your first question is b^2+2b-8. You second answer is y^2-4y+3.

Step-by-step explanation: Now, these questions deal with the FOIL method commonly taught in schools. The FOIL method is to turn factored binomials back into quadratics. Let's first go over what FOIL means.
F - First. So you multiply the first terms in each set of parenthesis, so b times b and y times y make b squared and y squared.
O - Outer. Multiply the two outer terms together, so b times -2 and y times -3. Remeber to pay attention to your signs when you multiply during these probelms!
I- Inner. Multiply the two inner terms together. so 4 times b and -1 times y. Again, make sure the signs are incorporated!
L - Last. Multiply the last terms in the binomials. So 4 times -2 and -1 times -3.

Now that we have our numbers, we have expanded quadratics that look like these:
b^2 -2b+4b-8 and y^2-3y-y+3

Now combine the two middle terms into +2b and -4y, and your answers are b^2+2b-8 and y^2-4y+3.

Here we have 19 more than c, so we add c plus 19, which looks as follows:-

 ✳︎ [tex]\sf{19+c}[/tex]

This expression is equal to 4:-

✳︎[tex]\sf{19+c=4}[/tex]

         - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Answer:

19 + c = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

19 more than the number c is 4

We know that:

The word "more" means addition between two numbers. The word "is" means two terms or two expressions are equivalent.

Therefore, we can make the following replacements:

"19" ⇒ "19""more" ⇒ "+""c" ⇒ "c""is" ⇒ "=""4" ⇒ "4"

When we replace the bolded text in the statement, we get;

⇒ 19 more than the number c is 4

⇒ 19 more than the number c is 4                       ["19" ⇒ "19"]

⇒ 19 + than the number c is 4                            ["more" ⇒ "+"]

⇒ 19 + c is 4                                             ["than the number c" ⇒ "c"]

⇒ 19 + c = 4                                                            ["is" ⇒ "="]

⇒ 19 + c = 4                                                            ["4" ⇒ "4"]

Thus, the expression/equation that represents the statement is [tex]\small\text{19 + c = 4.}[/tex]

Answers

Answer + Step-by-step explanation:

a) GE = r = GM

Then GEO is an isosceles triangle

b) since GEO is an isosceles triangle  then :

m∠SEG = m∠GOM = measure of the arc GM (mGM)  (result 1)

On the other hand :

m∠SEG = m∠SEG = (1/2)×(mAS - mGM)  (it’s a formula)   (result 2)

Now ,we equate  (result 1) and  (result 2) :

m∠SEG = mGM  

m∠SEG = (1/2)×(mAS - mGM)

Then

mGM = (1/2)×(mAS - mGM)

c) mGM = (1/2)×(mAS - mGM)

⇔ 2mGM = mAS - mGM

⇔ 3mGM = mAS

⇔ 3m∠SEA = m∠SOA

Remember:

mGM = m∠GOM = m∠SEA

"Congruent" is used to describe geometrical figures in which all corresponding measures are identical. "Equal" generally refers to the relationship between algebraic or numerical values or expressions.

What is the equation of the quadratic function represented by this table?

Answers

The equation of the quadratic function is y = -1/4(x + 2)² + 4

How to determine the quadratic equation?

A quadratic equation is represented as:

y = ax² +bx + c

When x = 0 and y = 3, we have:

3 = a(0)² +b(0) + c

This gives

c = 3

So, we have:

y = ax² +bx + 3

When x = 1 and y = 1.75, we have:

1.75 = a(1)² +b(1) + 3

This gives

a + b = -1.25

Make b the subject

b = -1.25 - a

When x = -2 and y = 4, we have:

4 = a(-2)² +b(-2) + 3

This gives

4a - 2b = 1

Substitute b = -1.25 - a in 4a - 2b = 1

4a - 2(-1.25 - a) = 1

Expand

4a + 2.5 + 2a = 1

Evaluate the like terms

6a = -1.5

Divide both sides by 6

a = -1/4

Substitute a = -1/4 in b = -1.25 - a

b = -1.25 + 1/4

Evaluate

b = -1

So, we have:

y = -1/4x² - x + 3

Factor out -1/4

y = -1/4(x² + 4x) + 3

-------------------------------------------------

Take the coefficient of x

k = 4

Divide by 2

k/2 = 2

Square both sides

(k/2)² = 4

-------------------------------------------------

Add and subtract 4 inside the bracket of y = -1/4(x² + 4x) + 3

y = -1/4(x² + 4x + 4 - 4) + 3

Expand

y = -1/4(x² + 4x + 4) + 1 + 3

Evaluate the sum

y = -1/4(x² + 4x + 4) + 4

Express the bracket as a perfect square

y = -1/4(x + 2)² + 4

Hence, the equation of the quadratic function is y = -1/4(x + 2)² + 4

The function h(t) = -4t^2 + 20t represents the height (in feet) of an athlete t seconds after pole vaulting. after how many seconds does the athlete reach his or her maximum height?

Answers

Answer:

2.5 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

h(t) = -4t^2 + 20t

= -4(t^2 - 5t)

Convert to vertex form by completing the square:

h(t) = -4[(t - 2.5t)^2 - 6.25]

     = -4(t - 2.5)^2 + 25    <--------- vertex form

So the vertex is at the point (2.5, 25).

So the athlete reaches the maximum height ( of 25 feet), after 2.5 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Luke bought 256 ounces of strawberries. He divided them evenly between 8 different pies. We are asked to find the pounds of strawberries that Luke put on each pie.

First of all, we will convert 256 ounces into pounds.

We know that 1 pound equals 16 ounces. To convert 256 ounces into pounds, we need to divide 256 by 16.

[tex]256[/tex] [tex]ounces=\frac{256}{16}[/tex] [tex]pounds=16[/tex] [tex]pounds[/tex]

Now we will divide 16 pounds by 8 to find number of strawberries put on each pie.

[tex]Pounds[/tex] [tex]of[/tex] [tex]strawberries[/tex] [tex]on[/tex] [tex]each[/tex] [tex]pie=\frac{16}{8}[/tex]
