Given that the production of n stalks of corn planted has been modeled by (2n^2-2n), then the approximate ears of corn produced by 3 stalks will be given by:
2n^2-2n
plugging in n=3 in the formula we get:
2(3)^2-2(3)
simplifying we get:
2(9)-6
=18-6
=12
the answer is: 12 ears
Answer:
If you meant median, the median would be the data in the middle.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case, 1-2-3-4-5 (here) 6-7-8-9-10
5.5 would be in the middle because there is an even amount of numbers.
Answer:
y=-3x+50
Step-by-step explanation:
y=50-3x ,where x is number of days.
The surface area is ≈ 451.92
Answer: 35 additional teachers are needed
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------
Explanation:
We have 2470 students and the ratio of students to teachers is 26:1. This means that for every teacher, there are 26 students. Put another way, we can set up this ratio
2470/x = 26/1
where x is the number of teachers. Cross multiply and solve for x
2470/x = 26/1
2470*1 = 26*x
2470 = 26x
26x = 2470
26x/26 = 2470/26
x = 95
So we have 95 teachers currently
-------------
Let y be the new number of teachers needed to bring the ratio down to 19:1
Using a similar idea as done above, we would have this ratio
2470/y = 19/1
Let's solve for y
2470/y = 19/1
2470*1 = 19*y
2470 = 19y
19y = 2470
19y/19 = 2470/19
y = 130
So we'll need 130 teachers to have the ratio be 19:1
The difference of the values is y - x = 130 - 95 = 35, which is the final answer. This is the additional amount of teachers needed.
