The school you want to go to has an acceptance rate of 12%. That means that 12% of the students who apply to the school get in. The school took in 2,400 students last year. How many students applied?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The total number of students who have applied for the admissions in the school last year = 20000  

Step-by-step explanation:

The school you want to go to has an acceptance rate of 12%.

⇒ 12% of the students who apply to the school get in

Now, Total number of students that are being selected = 2400

We need to find the total number of students those who have applied for the admission

Let the number of students who have applied for the admission be x

Now, using the condition given in the problem, we have :

12% of x = 2400

⇒ 0.12 × x = 240

⇒ x = 20000

Thus, The total number of students who have applied for the admissions in the school last year = 20000

Answer 2
Answer: The answer is 20,000.

2,400 Divided by .12 equals 20,000.

2,400 / .12 = 20,000.

Mrs. Laser is building a new space for her chickens. She has 80 feet of fencing. What is the greatest fencing area she could create using fencing?

Answers

Answer:

400 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be shown that a square area is the most efficient way in which to use fencing.  If the area is not square, the area will inevitably be smaller.  

Calculus is the tool most often used in higher math to solve optimization problems.  

But the same goal can be achieved in this problem by working with constraints:  

If x and y are the length and width respectively, then

2x + 2y = 80 ft, or x + y = 40, or x = 40 - y.  This is one constraint.  

The other constraint involves the area:  A = x*y, or A = (40 - y)*y.  To maximize this, we need to rewrite (40 - y)*y in standard form:

A = 40y - y^2, or, finally, A = -y^2 + 40 y.  The coefficients of this quadratic are -1, 40 and 0; the axis of symmetry is thus

x = -b/ [2a], or, in this case, x = -40/[2*(-1)], or x = 20.

Thus, If x = 20, y = 20 also, proving that the shape of the enclosed yard is that of a square.

Then Mrs. L' 80 feet of fencing is sufficient to construct a 20 ft by 20 ft space, which comes out to a maximum area of 400 ft^2.

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME FAST. thanksY= 3x + 2 Is the equation of a straight line graph. Where does it cross the y-axis? Also can you tell me how to work it out?

Answers


That equation is in what's called "standard form".  It's the form where
'y' is all alone on one side and everything else is on the other side.
The reason it's called "standard form" is because when the equation
is written that way, you can just LOOK at it and tell so much about it.

           Y  =  (the number next to 'x') X  +  (a number all alone) .

When the equation is written like this:

-- If the 'x' has no power written, like x² or x³ , then
you know the graph of the equation is a straight line.

-- "The number next to x" is the slope of the line on the graph.
     If the number is positive, the line slopes up.
     If the number is negative, the line slopes down.

-- "The number all alone" is the y-intercept of the graph ...
     the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Your equation is          Y = 3 x  +  2 .

-- The equation is written in 'standard form'.

-- The 'x' has no exponent written, so its exponent is ' 1 ',
     and you know the graph is a straight line.

-- The number next to 'x' is  3 . 
   The line on the graph slopes up, and its slope is  3 .

-- The number all alone is  2 .
   The line on the graph crosses the y-axis at the point  y=2
The equation is a straight line on the graph because it is in slope-intercept form. (y=mx+b) It crosses the x-axis at (0,2) since if you substitute 0 for x, it comes out as 2. (3*0=0, 0+2) The y-intercept is the y-value when x is 0.

Dylan started with 10,000 baseball cards to sell. In each subsequent week, Dylan started with approximately 85% of the previous week's starting number of cards. What is the explicit rule for the number of cards Dylan starts with in week n and approximately how many cards will he start with in the 6th week? Round to the nearest card. Drag and drop the answers into the boxes to match the situation. Explicit rule Amount of cards after the 6th week.

Answers

Answer:

Number of cards at week n = 10,000(0.85)^(n-1).

At week 6  Dylan has 4437 cards.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the start of week 1 he had 10,000 = 10,000(0.85)^0  cards.

So at the start of week 2 he had 10,000(0.85)^(2-1) cards.

Number of  cards for week n =  10,000(0.85)^(n-1).

Number of he will have at the start of the 6th week

= 10,000(0.85)^(6-1)

=  4437 cards (answer).
