You ask 120 randomly chosen students to name their favorite ice cream flavor. There are 1800 students in the school. Based on th

e results of the survey, predict the number of students in the school whose favorite ice cream flavor is chocolate chip.

Chocolate=21
Strawberry=24
Chocolate Chip=39

39/120 = x / 1800....39 choc. chip to 120 students = x choc. chip to 1800 students

now we cross multiply because this is a proportion
(120)(x) = (39)(1800)
120x = 70200
x = 70200/120
x = 585 <===

or u could do it this way as well...
39 out of 120 picked chocolate chip....
39/120 = 0.325 = 32.5%....so 32.5% chose chocolate chip.

32.5% of 1800 = 0.325(1800) = 585 <==

A swimming pool is being drained so it can be cleaned. The amount of water in the pool is changing according to the función f(t)
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

0 ≤ t ≤ 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the function f(t), t is the independent variable. The domain of f is the set of all values of t that this function can accept.

In this case, f(t) is defined in a real-life context. Hence, consider the real-life constraints on the two variables. Both time and volume should be non-negative. In other words,

  • t \ge 0.
  • f(t) \ge 0.

The first condition is an inequality about t, which is indeed the independent variable.

However, the second condition is about f, the dependent variable of this function. It has to be rewritten as a condition about t.

\begin{aligned} f(t) &\ge 0 &&\text{Assumption} \cr 80000 - 16000\, t& \ge 0 && \text{Definition of} ~ f \cr 80000 & \ge 16000\, t && \begin{aligned}&\text{Add $16000\, t$} \\[-0.5em] & \text{to both sides of the inequality}\end{aligned} \cr 5 &\ge t &&\begin{aligned}&\text{Divide both sides of} \\[-0.5em] & \text{the inequality by $16000$}\end{aligned} \cr t &\le 5 && \text{Flip the inequality}\end{aligned}.

Hence, t ≤ 5.

Combine the two inequalities to obtain the domain:

0 ≤ t ≤ 5.

From the quadratic equation 3x² + X - 5 = 0, find alpha square plus beta square​
timama [110]

Answer:

  α² +β² = 3 4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming α and β are solutions to the equation, it can be factored as ...

  (x -α)(x -β) = 0

Expanding this, we get ...

  x² -(α +β)x +αβ = 0

Dividing the original equation by 3, we find ...

  x² +(1/3)x -5/3 ≡ x² -(α+β)x +αβ   ⇒   (α+β) = -1/3, αβ = -5/3

We know that the square (α+β)² can be expanded to ...

  (α +β)² = α² +β² +2αβ

  α² +β² = (α +β)² -2αβ . . . . . . subtract 2αβ

Substituting the values for (α+β) and αβ, we find the desired expression is ...

  α² +β² = (-1/3)² -2(-5/3) = 1/9 +10/3 = 31/9

  α² +β² = 3 4/9

A sequence starts, 1/2,1/4,1/8... Give a rule that the sequence could follow.
natita [175]

Answer:

A rule that the sequence could follow is that the number so for example 1/8 will have to be multiplied by 1/2 so your answer would be 1/16.

A recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of flour, 3/4 cup of white sugar, and 1/8 cup of brown sugar.
alina1380 [7]
Okay this isn't the answer but it is how u can get your answer and explain  how to justify it. which math will be how u justify it.... So basically your answer is A.... and you will add 1 1/2 + 3/4 + 1/8 =.25 which is your work they want you to show them and that is what I just showed you in a number line. I hope that's correct, but i'm pretty sure it is. Sorry that took so long i am working still on my own work and still stuck on  my own lol. I am not the best with math and this kind of stuff though, but again i am almost sure this is correct
