A. The recipe  required 3/4 cup of sugar and 1/8 cup of butter.

The ratio of the sugar to butter in the original recipe is

\dfrac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{1}{8}}=\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot \dfrac{8}{1}=\dfrac{6}{1}.

B. If Travis accidentally put a whole cup of butter in the mix, then he needs to put

\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot \dfrac{6}{1}=\dfrac{9}{2}=4\dfrac{1}{2} cup of sugar.

C. Travis has to put 1/8 cup of butter, but he put 1 cup of butter. The ratio is

\dfrac{1}{\frac{1}{8}}=\dfrac{1}{1}\cdot \dfrac{8}{1}=\dfrac{8}{1}.

If Travis wants to keep the ratios the same as they are in the original recipe, he needs to put 8 times more of all the other ingredients.

Find the 64th term of the arithmetic sequence -4, -21, -38, ...−4,−21,−38,
lisov135 [29]

a_{n} = a_{1} + d(n - 1)  ; a₁ is the first term, d is the difference between terms, and n is the term

-4, -21, -38, ...   ⇒   a₁ = -4, d = -17

a_{n} = -4 - 17(n - 1)

   = -4 - 17n + 17

   = 13 - 17n

a_{64} = 13 - 17(64)

    = 13 - 1088

    = 1075

Answer: 1075

A bird is sitting on a train A moving at a speed of 40 kmph. It sees another train B at a Distance of 200 ms with Speed of 60 km
Aloiza [94]
Solution:

Two trains are moving in opposite direction with Speed 40 kmph and 60 kmph. Make train B stationary and then take the Speed of train A relative to the train B. So relative Speed of train A = 40 + 60 = 100 kmph. Before it crashes into the stationary train B it has to travel a Distance of 200 m which it will do in (0.2/100 ) hours. During this duration, the average Speed of bird has been 10 kmph i.e. before the crash total Distance covered by the bird = 0.2 * 10/100 km = 20 meters.

• Given the function, f(x) = x3 – 5x2 + 9x – 45, determine the number of roots and identify them.
dezoksy [38]
x3 - 5x2 + 9x - 45 = 0
 It is a polynomial of degree three, therefore, it has three roots.
 For this case, what we can do is factorize to write the polynomial in an easier way and thus be able to find the roots.
 Factoring we have:
 (x - 5) (x ^ 2 + 9) = 0
 x = 5
 x = 3i
 x = -3i
 Answer: 
 three roots: 
 x = 5 
 x = 3i 
 x = -3i
