Answer:

The percentage of yellow beans in the bowl of 84 is approximately 31%.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • We are given with a word problem
  • We are asked to find the total percentage of yellow jelly beans
  • We can do this two steps

         Step 1: Finding the number of yellows beans in each bags

         Step 2: Finding the total percentage of yellow beans

Step 1 of 2

We are given that the three bags contain 26,28 and 30 beans totally in which the percent of yellow beans are 50%, 25% and 20% respectively.

We have to find the number of yellow beans in each bag.

$=\frac{50}{100} \times 26$$

The number of yellow beans in first bag

$$\begin{aligned}&\frac{1}{2} \times 26=13 \\&=\frac{25}{100} \times 28\end{aligned}$$

The number of yellow beans in second bag

$$\begin{aligned}&\frac{1}{4} \times 28=7 \\&=\frac{20}{100} \times 30 \\&\frac{1}{5} \times 30=6\end{aligned}$$

The number of yellow beans in third bag

Step 2 of 2

From the first step we got the number of yellow beans in each bags.

The total number of yellow beans in the bowl =13+7+6

The total number of beans in the bowl

$$\begin{aligned}=26 &+28+30 \\=& 84 \\&=\frac{26}{84} \times 100\end{aligned}$$

The percentage of yellow bean in the bowl

$$\begin{gathered}\approx 0.3095 \times 100 \\\approx 0.31 \times 100 \\\approx 31\end{gathered}$$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure out the number of yellow beans in each bag:

Bag A: 0.5*26 = 13 beans

Bag B: 0.25*28 = 7 beans

Bag C: 0.2*30 = 6 beans

The total number of beans in the bowl: 26+28+30 = 84

Total number of yellow beans: 13+7+6 = 26

Percentage of yellow beans: 26/84 *100 = 30.9523

Rounded answer: 31%

Verify that P = Ce^t /1 + Ce^t is a one-parameter family of solutions to the differential equation dP dt = P(1 − P).
NemiM [27]

Answer:

See verification below

Step-by-step explanation:

We can differentiate P(t) respect to t with usual rules (quotient, exponential, and sum) and rearrange the result. First, note that

1-P=1-\frac{ce^t}{1+ce^t}=\frac{1+ce^t-ce^t}{1+ce^t}=\frac{1}{1+ce^t}

Now, differentiate to obtain

\frac{dP}{dt}=(\frac{ce^t}{1+ce^t})'=\frac{(ce^t)'(1+ce^t)-(ce^t)(1+ce^t)'}{(1+ce^t)^2}

=\frac{(ce^t)(1+ce^t)-(ce^t)(ce^t)}{(1+ce^t)^2}=\frac{ce^t+ce^{2t}-ce^{2t}}{(1+ce^t)^2}=\frac{ce^t}{(1+ce^t)^2}

To obtain the required form, extract a factor in both the numerator and denominator:

\frac{dP}{dt}=\frac{ce^t}{1+ce^t}\frac{1}{1+ce^t}=P(1-P)

Which of the following gives all of the sets that contain -1/2?
fiasKO [112]
ANSWER


The set of all rational numbers and the set of all real numbers.


EXPLANATION

The set of rational numbers contains all numbers that can be written in the form,


\frac{a}{b}


where a and b are integers and b≠0.


The given number is

-  \frac{1}{2}


It belongs to the set of rational numbers.


The set of rational numbers is a subset of the set of real numbers.

Hence

-  \frac{1}{2}
also belongs to the set of real numbers.


The correct answer is A.
