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

a rectangular block is such that the sides of its base are of the length x cm and 3x cm. The sum of all the lengths of all its e
Xelga [282]

Answer:

15x^2 - 12x^3

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular block has 3 parts that play into its volume.  length, width and height.  The question gives us length and width in the form of x and 3x, so height is what's missing.

It gives us a bit more information saying the sum of its edges is 20.  We also have to ask how many lengths, widths and heights are there.  That may be a bit hard to understand, but  is you are looking at a block I could ask how many edges are vertical, just going up and down.  These would be the heights.  There are 4 total, and this goes the same for length and width, so 4*length + 4*width and 4*height = 20.  

Taking that and plugging in x for length and 3x for width (or you could do it the other way around, it doesn't matter, you get:

4*x + 4*3x + 4*height = 20

4x + 12x + 4h = 20

16x + 4h = 20

4h = 20 - 16x

h = 5 - 4x

Now we have h in terms of x, which lets us easily find the volume just knowing x.  To find the volume of a rectangular block you just multiply the length, width and height.

x*3x*(5-4x)

3x^2(5-4x)

15x^2 - 12x^3

Question doesn't give a specific value for x at all so you should be done there.  Any number you plug in for x should get you the right answer

The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence is n/2(4n + 20).
lesantik [10]

Answer:

(a).

S_{n} =  \frac{n}{2} (4n + 20) \\  \\S _{n - 1} =  \frac{(n - 1)}{2} (4n - 4 + 20) \\  \\ S _{n - 1} =  \frac{(n - 1)}{2} (4n + 16) \\  \\S _{n - 1} = \frac{(n - 1)(4n + 16)}{2}  \\   \\  { \boxed{S _{n - 1} =  {2 {n}^{2} + 6n - 8}}} \\

(b).

from general equation:

S _{n - 1} =  \frac{(n - 1)}{2} (4n + 16)

first term is 4n

common difference:

16 =  \{(n - 1) - 1 \}d \\ 16 = (n - 2)d \\ d =  \frac{16}{n - 2}
