Answer:

3 1/2 cups butter

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the batches (5) by the amount of butter (3/4 cup)

5/1 * 3/4 = 5*3 = 15; 1*4 =4 15/4

Divide 15 by 4 to turn from improper fraction to mixed number:

15/4 = 3 and 2/4; reduce to 3 1/2

Is Social Darwinism a justifiable reason to colonize other areas of the world and exploit the people and resources of that regio

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Social Darwinism provided an ideological justification for the social inequalities that capitalism had brought with it: these would result from the hereditary inferiority of the poor and the hereditary excellence of the richer classes, which are best enjoyed under a laissez-faire system. Applied to peoples and races, it became a justification for racism and imperialism.

As can be seen, social Darwinism is a retrograde political and philosophical stance, which considered different ethnic or national groups as different in terms of capacity or development possibilities. Therefore, since this position has been regarded as false, social Darwinism has no justification in our time.

Help me with question a please ! With full workings !

frosja888 [35]

A)

$\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
Q&({{ 0}}\quad ,&{{ 2}})\quad 
% (c,d)
P&({{ 0.5}}\quad ,&{{ 0}})
\end{array}\qquad 
% distance value
d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}$

$\bf QP=\sqrt{(0.5-0)^2+(0-2)^2}\implies QP=\sqrt{0.5^2+2^2}
\\\\\\
QP=\sqrt{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^2+4}\implies QP=\sqrt{ \frac{1^2}{2^2}+4}\implies QP=\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}+4}
\\\\\\
QP=\sqrt{\frac{17}{4}}\implies QP=\cfrac{\sqrt{17}}{\sqrt{4}}\implies QP=\cfrac{\sqrt{17}}{2}$

b)

since QR=QP, that means that QO is an angle bisector, and thus the segments it makes at the bottom of RO and OP, are also equal, thus RO=OP

thus, since the point P is 0.5 units away from the 0, point R is also 0.5 units away from 0 as well, however, is on the negative side, thus R (-0.5, 0)

c)

what's the equation of a line that passes through the points (-0.5, 0) and (0,2)?

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
Q&({{ 0}}\quad ,&{{ 2}})\quad 
% (c,d)
R&({{ -0.5}}\quad ,&{{ 0}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{0-2}{-0.5-0}\implies \cfrac{-2}{-0.5}$

$\bf m=\cfrac{\frac{-2}{1}}{-\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{-2}{1}\cdot \cfrac{2}{-1}\implies 4
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})\implies y-2=4(x-0)\implies y=4x+2\\
\left. \qquad \right. \uparrow\\
\textit{point-slope form}$
