Your father will require 14.6 cups of sugar for the larger group

<h3>Ratio and proportions</h3>

From the question, we have that 2.5 cups of sugar can be used to make recipes for 6 people that is;

6 people = 2.5 cups of sugar

In order to calculate for 35 people, we will have;

35 people  = x

Taking the ratio of the expressions

6/35 = 2.5/x

6x = 87.5

x = 87.5/6

x = 14.6

Hence your father will require 14.6 cups of sugar for the larger group

Use the following explicit function to identify f(1) &amp; r, and list the first five terms of the sequence.
rjkz [21]

Given:

The explicit function is:

f(n)=1000\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{n-1}

To find:

f(1)=?,r=? and first 5 terms.

Solution:

The explicit formula a geometric sequence is:

f(n)=ar^{n-1}            ...(i)

Where, a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

We have,

f(n)=1000\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{n-1}         ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

a=1000

f(1)=1000

And,

r=\dfrac{1}{4}

For n=1,

f(1)=1000\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{1-1}

f(1)=1000\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{0}

f(1)=1000(1)

f(1)=1000

For n=2,

f(2)=1000\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{2-1}

f(2)=1000\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{1}

f(2)=1000\times \dfrac{1}{4}

f(2)=250

Similarly, substituting n=3,4,5, we get

f(3)=62.5

f(4)=15.625

f(5)=3.90625

Therefore, f(1)=1000,r=\dfrac{1}{4} and the first five terms are 1000,250,62.5,15.625,3.90625.

Solve the system by using a matrix equation <br><br>7x-4y=4 <br><br>10x-6y=2
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

<h2>The solution to the system of equation is x = 8, y = 13</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equation using matrix equation can be solved using crammers rule. Given the equation;

7x-4y=4

10x-6y=2

The equation will be rewritten in the format AX = B

matrix A will be 2*2 matrix

X will be a column matrix containing the variables

B will be a column matrix

\left[\begin{array}{cc}7&-4\\10&-6\\\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}x&y\\\\\end{array}\right] = \right] \left[\begin{array}{c}4&2\\\\\end{array}\right]

first we will find the determinant of the matrix A

|A|=7(-6)-(10)(-4)\\|A|= -42+40\\|A|= -2

To get the value of x, we will substitute the column matrix at the right hand side to replace the first column pf matrix A, then we look for the determinant and divide the determinant by the determinant of matrix A itself.

|X|=\left[\begin{array}{cc}4&-4\\2&-6\\\end{array}\right]\\|X|= -24+8\\|X|=-16

x = |X|/|A|

x = -16/-2

x = 8

Similarly for y, we will substitute the column matrix at the right hand side to replace the second column of matrix A, then we look for the determinant and divide the determinant by the determinant of matrix A itself.

|Y|=\left[\begin{array}{cc}7&4\\10&2\\\end{array}\right]\\|Y|= 14-40\\|Y|=-26

y = |Y|/|A|

y = -26/-2

y = 13

The solution to the system of equation is x = 8, y = 13

Write y = 1/6x + 5 in standard form using integers.
Temka [501]
Standard form of a linear equation is : 
Ax + By = C

Given:
<span>y = 1/6x + 5
Rearranging,
(1/6)x - y = -5
Multiplying whole equation by 6.
x - 6y = -30
or
-x + 6y = 30
Hope it helps!</span>
