The Soup Shack usually makes tomato soup with 9 tomatoes for every 12 cups of soup. Today, they made 8 cups of soup with 6 tomatoes. How does today's soup compare to the usual recipe?

Answers

Answer:  We compare today's soup to the usual recipe by using "Unitary Method".

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

The Soup Shack makes tomato soup with 9 tomatoes for every 12 cups of soup.

For every 12 cups of soup , 9 tomatoes is needed

For every 1 cup of soup , the number of tomato is needed is given by

[tex]\frac{9}{12}=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Today, they made 8 cups of soup with 6 tomatoes ,

For 8 cups, 6 tomatoes are used .

For 1 cup, number of tomato is used is given by

[tex]\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

So, we can see that both the soup has same quantity .

∴ We compare today's soup to the usual recipe by using "Unitary Method".

251       -8
-----  * -----
   8        3

The 8s cancel, leaving us with -251/3.  Note that -248/3 = -83, so that the magnitue of -251/3 must be a little larger than -83.  

251 divided by 3 is 83 with a remainder of 2:  251/3 = 83 2/3

So -251/3 = -83 2/3 (answer)

Using the PEMDAS rule, the correct result is -502/3.

We have,

Using the order of operations (PEMDAS) and simplifying the fractions, we have:

251/4 ÷ (-3/8)

= 251/4 × (-8/3) (since dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal)

= -502/3

The location of the y intercept is found by finding the equation of the line which is y=2x-10, therefore it is (0,-10)

Answer:

B. [tex](0,-10)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an image of a line segment on coordinate plane. We are asked to find the y-intercept of line, is the line segment is extended to cross both the axes.

We will find the equation of line in slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex], where,

m = Slope of line,

b = The y-intercept.

We will find slope of our given line using the coordinates of our given points (6,2) and (8,6).

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{6-2}{8-6}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{4}{2}[/tex]

[tex]m=2[/tex]

Now, we will substitute [tex]m=2[/tex] and coordinates of point (8,6) in slope-intercept form of equation.

[tex]6=2*8+b[/tex]

[tex]6=16+b[/tex]

[tex]6-16=16-16+b[/tex]

[tex]-10=b[/tex]

Since y-intercept of our given line is [tex]-10[/tex], which is at [tex]x=0[/tex], therefore, option B is the correct choice.

Which of the following is a situation in which an equation cannot be solved using the quadratic formula? A.) The coefficient of the x^2 term is zero B.) The right hand side of the equation is zero C.) The coefficient of the x term is zero D.) The degree of the polynomial is 2

Answers

Recall that the quadratic formula is
x=(-b+/-sqrt(b^2-4ac)/2a
So the formula cannot be used whenever a=0, in other words, the coefficient of the x^2 term is zero.  All other situations do not render the formula inapplicable.

Final answer:

An equation cannot be solved using the quadratic formula if the coefficient of the [tex]x^{2}[/tex] term is zero, as this makes it a linear equation, not a quadratic. So, option A is correct.

Explanation:

The situation in which an equation cannot be solved using the quadratic formula is when the coefficient of the [tex]x^{2}[/tex] term is zero (A). An equation is only quadratic if it is of the form a[tex]x^{2}[/tex] + bx + c = 0, where 'a' is not equal to zero. If 'a' is zero, the equation is not a quadratic equation but a linear one, and the quadratic formula cannot be applied. The quadratic formula, 'x' equals minus 'b', plus-or-minus the square root of 'b' squared minus four 'a' 'c', all over two 'a', requires a nonzero 'a' value because the denominator of the formula includes '2a'. If 'a' is zero, the formula would involve division by zero, which is undefined.

Option B is incorrect because having zero on the right-hand side of the equation does not affect the use of the quadratic formula. Likewise, option C is incorrect because the equation can still be quadratic even if the coefficient of the x term ('b') is zero; the equation becomes a pure quadratic equation. Option D suggests the polynomial is already of degree 2, which is the correct type of equation to apply the quadratic formula.

650 / 250 = 13 / 3 = 2.6 = 260%

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Since, the percentage formula is,

[tex]\text{Percent Increase}=\frac{\text{Amount of Increase}}{\text{Original Amount}}[/tex]

2) Given,

Original amount = 250,

New amount = 900

So, the amount of increase = New amount - Original amount = 900 - 250 = 650

By substituting the values,

[tex]\text{Percentage increase}=\frac{650}{250}[/tex]

find the formula for the graph of function f(x) given in the graph above




Answers

This is a sin function since for x = 0, y = 0

The general formula of such functions is:

f(x) = A sin (bx + c) + d, where:
A= period
b = coefficient of x
c= phase shift (horizontal shift)
d= vertical shift

Since there is no vertical shift nor horizontal shift, our function becomes:

f(x) = A. sin(b.x)

In the graph we notice that A=2
Let's calculate b. Remember that the PERIOD = 2π/b, but the period given on the graph is 8π, then:
:
8π = 2π/b → and b= 2π/8π → b= 1/4

Finally the equation is : f(x) = 2.sin(x/4)

The given graph is scaled form of trigonometric function graph.

The formula for the graph function f(x) is given by:

[tex]f(x) = -2sin(\dfrac{x}{4})[/tex]

How to find the formula for f(x) for given graph?

Note down the properties one by one.

Firstly its a periodic function.

Secondly, the maximum value of the function is 2 and minimum value is -2

Thirdly the function assumes maximum or minimum value when it reaches to [tex]2 \pi n; n \in \mathbb Z[/tex]

Fourthly, the graph from the center to right side goes down then up then down then up and so on.

If you've seen graph of sine function, then you'd know that the graph is periodic(repeating same values after some interval), the maximum and minimum values being 1 and -1 and maximum or minimum values are achieved when input is [tex]\dfrac{n\pi}{2}; \: n \in \mathbb{Z}[/tex]

Plus, the graph from center to right goes up then down then up then down and so on.

Transforming sine graph to make the given graph:

First we need down then up instead of up and down. Since down is negative output in its graph and up is positive, thus we will negate the value of sine function.

[tex]-sin(x)[/tex]  will have flipped mountains and valley's in comparison to that of sin(x).

Now since the maximum  and minimum values are needed to be 2 and -2 instead of 1 and -1, thus we will scale the output with factor of 2.

[tex]-2sin(x)[/tex]  will have maximum and minimum as 2 and -2 respectively.

We need the graph to be maximum or minimum at x = [tex]2 \pi n; n \in \mathbb Z[/tex] and not at x =  [tex]\dfrac{n\pi}{2}; \: n \in \mathbb{Z}[/tex]. Thus, we will scale down the input of -2sin(x) so that it treats  [tex]2 \pi n; n \in \mathbb Z[/tex] as if it was given  [tex]\dfrac{n\pi}{2}; \: n \in \mathbb{Z}[/tex].

The scaling needs to be by 1/4 since [tex]\dfrac{1}{4} \times 2\pi n = \dfrac{n\pi}{2}[/tex]

Thus, the resultant function is [tex]-2sin(\dfrac{x}{4})[/tex]

The below plotted graph shows graph of sin(x) (in red) and that of  [tex]-2sin(\dfrac{x}{4})[/tex] (in blue).

I really need explanation for this Mean Value Theorem. Thanks

Answers

the mean value theorem states, that the function for such value to exist, must be continuous and differentiable, graph wise, that means the graph of the function between those bounds, must be "a smooth line", without any abrupt jumps or changes like a spike or a sharp sink.

so, rewording the material some, the piece-wise function has 3 subfunctions, and within the interval of [0, 2], those 3 must meet seamlessly at the junction points, namely 0 and 1, so the "4" part must seamlessly blend in with the ax + b part at 0, and the ax + b part must meet seamlessly with the x²+5x+c.

that said, we could simply freely pick a "c" value for the third subfunction, and from there, make the second subfunction to meet it at that point, so let's do so.

let's say, we pick c = 3, so the 3rd subfunction is x² + 5x + 3.

now, what's f(x) for that parabola at x = 1?, well, is 1²+5(1)+3, or 9, so it lands on the ( 1, 9 ) point then.

now, the "4" subfunction is just a horizontal line, well, at x = 0, is really just a dot, so, ax + b must meet that dot and also must meet the parabola at (1, 9), given that c = 3.

so, now, what's the equation of a line that passes through (0, 4) and (1, 9)?

[tex]\bf \begin{array}{lllll} &x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\ % (a,b) &({{ 0}}\quad ,&{{ 4}})\quad % (c,d) &({{ 1}}\quad ,&{{ 9}}) \end{array} \\\\\\ % slope = m slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{9-4}{1-0}\implies 5 \\\\\\ % point-slope intercept \stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-4=5(x-0)\implies \boxed{y=5x+4}[/tex]

so, that'd be the 2nd subfunction, meeting "4" and x² + 5x + 3, and surely you can see what "a" and "b" are.

check the picture below.

and since they meet seamlessly, they meet the mean value theorem at  [0, 2].

Here, [tex]n(E)[/tex] is the number of favorable outcomes in an event [tex]E[/tex] and [tex]n(S)[/tex] is the number of element in sample space [tex]S[/tex].

The probability of exactly [tex]r[/tex] success in [tex]n[/tex] trial is expressed as follows:

[tex]\boxed{P(F)=^{n}C_{r}p^{r}q^{n-r}}[/tex]

Here, [tex]r[/tex] is the probability of success in an event and [tex]q[/tex] is the probability of failure.

Calculation:

Consider [tex]A[/tex] as an event of having a girl in first birth and [tex]P(A)[/tex] as the probability of event [tex]A[/tex].

The probability of having a girl is [tex]P(A)=\frac{1}{2}[/tex].

Assume that [tex]A'[/tex] is the complement event of an event [tex]A[/tex] and [tex]P(A')[/tex] is the probability of complementary event [tex]A'[/tex].

The event is the event of not having a girl in the first birth.

The probability of event [tex]A'[/tex] is calculated as follows:

[tex]\boxed{P(A')=1-P(A)}[/tex]   …… (1)

Substitute [tex]P(A)=\frac{1}{2}[/tex] in the equation (1) to obtain the probability of event [tex]A'[/tex].

[tex]\begin{aligned}P(A')&=1-\dfrac{1}{2}\\&=\dfrac{1}{2}\end{aligned}[/tex]

 

The probability of having exactly [tex]6[/tex] girls in [tex]8[/tex] birth is calculated as follows:

[tex]\begin{aligned}P(F&)=^{8}C_{6}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{6}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{8-6}\\&=\dfrac{8!}{6!\cdot 2!}\cdot (0.5)^{6}\cdot (0.5)^{2}\\&=28(0.5)^{8}\\&=0.10937\end{aligned}[/tex]  

Thus, the probability of having exactly [tex]6[/tex] girls in [tex]8[/tex] birth is [tex]\boxed{\bf 0.10937}[/tex].

Final answer:

To find the probability of getting exactly 6 girls in 8 births, we use the binomial probability formula. In this case, the probability is approximately 0.01.

Explanation:

To find the probability of getting exactly 6 girls in 8 births, we can use the binomial probability formula:

P(x = 6) = C(n, x) * pˣ * (1-p)(n-x)

Where:

C(n, x) is the binomial coefficient, which represents the number of ways to choose x objects from a set of n objects.p is the probability of success (in this case, the probability of having a girl) in a single trial. n is the number of trials (in this case, the number of births).x is the desired number of successes (in this case, the desired number of girls).

In this particular case, P(x = 6) = C(8, 6) * (0.5)⁶ * (0.5)(8-6) = 28 * 0.015625 * 0.015625 = 0.009765625, or approximately 0.01.

Action movies make up 85% of Devon’s movie collection. If he has 20 movies, how many action movies are in Devon’s collection ? Explain your reasoning to classmate

Answers

Simplu convert 85% by skipping to decimal points, making it .85

Multiply 20 and .85.

20 x .85 = 17

17 action movies are in Devon's collection.
Action movies make up 85% of Devon's collection. His collection consists of 20 movies. Therefore, 85% of 20 movies are action movies.

85% of 20....turn ur percent to a decimal..." of " means multiply
0.85(20) = 17.....so Devon has 17 action movies <=

The school is 3.65 miles from Tonya’s house and 1.28 miles from Jamall‘s house. How much farther from school is Tonyas house than Jamall‘s house? Explain how you can use a quick picture to solve the problem.

Answers

The answer is 2.37 miles. The possible explanation for this is I can illustrate 3.65 using 3 squares for ones, 6 lines for tenths, and 5 circles for hundredths. I would now then reform 1 tenth as 10 hundredths. Then, I would subtract 8 hundredths from 15 hundredths. Then, I would take away 2 tenths from 5 tenths. Last, I would deduct 1 from 3.
