Answer:

20 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the small pitchers be given by s

and the larger pitchers by l

According to the given information:

2s + l = 8....(1) \\ and \\ l - s = 2 \\ l = s + 2...(2) \\ substituting \: l = s + 2 \: in \: equation \: (1) \\ 2s + s + 2 = 8 \\ 3s = 8 - 2 \\ 3s = 6 \\ s =  \frac{6}{3}  \\ \huge \red{ s = 2} \\ substituting \:   s  = 2 \: in \: equation \: (2)  \\ l = 2 + 2 \\ \huge \purple{ l = 4}\\\\Now\\ 3l +4s \\= 3\times 4+4\times 2\\= 12 +8\\= 20\: cups

So, 3 large pitchers and 4 small pitchers hold 20 cups of water.

Solve each equation. Show your work<br><br> 13a=-5<br> 12−b=12.5<br> -0.1=-10c
amid [387]
1) 13a=-5
Make a the subject of the formula by dividing both sides by 13(the coefficient of a)
13a/13=-5/13
Therefore a= -0.385

The second one). 12-b= 12.5
You take the 12 to the other side making b subject of the formula (-b in this case)
-b= 12.5-12
-b= 0.5
(You cannot leave b with a negative sign so you will divide both sides by -1 to cancel out the negative sign)

-b/-1= 0.5/-1
Therefore b=-0.5

The third one). -0.1= -10c
You will divide both sides by the coefficient of c(number next to c) which is -10
-0.1/-10= -10c/-10

Hence, c= 0.01

Which expression is equivalent to m^2-13m-30?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: First option

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the quadratic equation given in the problem:

m^2-13m-30

To find an equivalent expression you cacn factorize. Find two numbers whose sum is -13 and whose product is -30.

These numbers would be -15 and 2.

Therfore, you obtain the following equivalent expression:

(m-15)(m+2)

If you don't want to apply the method above, you can use the quadratic formula:

x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Where:

a=1\\b=-13\\c=-30

When you susbstitute values you obtain that:

x=15\\x=-2

Then you can rewrite the equation as (m-15)(m+2)

What is the minimum number of bits required to store each binary string of length 50? (b) what is the minimum number of bits req
antiseptic1488 [7]
In order to answer the above question, you should know the general rule to solve these questions.
The general rule states that there are 2ⁿ subsets of a set with n number of elements and we can use the logarithmic function to get the required number of bits.
That is: 
log₂(2ⁿ) = n number of <span>bits
</span>
a). <span>What is the minimum number of bits required to store each binary string of length 50?
</span>
Answer: In this situation, we have n = 50. Therefore,  2⁵⁰ binary strings of length 50 are there and so it would require:

                                                     log₂(2⁵⁰) <span>= 50 bits.

b). </span><span>what is the minimum number of bits required to store each number with 9 base of ten digits?
</span>
Answer: In this situation, we have n = 50. Therefore, 10⁹ numbers with 9 base ten digits are there and so it would require:

                                                     log2(109)= 29.89 
<span>                                                                     = 30 bits. (rounded to the nearest                                                                                                                        whole #)

c).  </span><span>what is the minimum number of bits required to store each length 10 fixed-density binary string with 4 ones?
</span>
Answer: There is (10,4) length 10 fixed density binary strings with 4 ones and
so it would require:
                                                     log₂(10,4)=log₂(210) = 7.7
                                                                    = 8 bits. (rounded to the nearest                                                                                                                        whole #)
