Answer:

Cost 0.70 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you see the cost and the weight you can get the price per pound, so if 5 pounds cost $3.50, you can evaluate doing a rule of three:

$\frac{3.50}{5}=\frac{x}{1}$

So if you clear X you´d get this:

$x=\frac{(3.5)(1)}{5}$

$x=0.70$

So the cost per pound is $0.70.

Now that you have the cost per pound you can do the equivalent ratios:

Cost---------------Apples

0.70---------------1 pound

3.5--------------- 5 pounds

7--------------- 10 pounds

Set up a proportion. 3.50 over 5 = x over 1 (x is what we are trying to find= the cost of 1 lb of apples)
Use cross products and multiply 3.50 by 1 to get 3.50 and then divide that by 5 to get 0.7.

So the apple cost 0.7 or seventy cents per pound.

Check: 0.7*5=3.5

That is correct!

Hope this helps!

The physical plant at the main campus of a large state university receives daily requests to replace fluorescent light bulbs. Th

ankoles [38]

We have been given that the distribution of the number of daily requests is bell-shaped and has a mean of 38 and a standard deviation of 6. We are asked to find the approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 38 and 56.

First of all, we will find z-score corresponding to 38 and 56.

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

$z=\frac{38-38}{6}=\frac{0}{6}=0$

Now we will find z-score corresponding to 56.

$z=\frac{56-38}{6}=\frac{18}{6}=3$

We know that according to Empirical rule approximately 68% data lies with-in standard deviation of mean, approximately 95% data lies within 2 standard deviation of mean and approximately 99.7% data lies within 3 standard deviation of mean that is $-3\sigma\text{ to }3\sigma$ .

We can see that data point 38 is at mean as it's z-score is 0 and z-score of 56 is 3. This means that 56 is 3 standard deviation above mean.

We know that mean is at center of normal distribution curve. So to find percentage of data points 3 SD above mean, we will divide 99.7% by 2.

$\frac{99.7\%}{2}=49.85\%$

Therefore, approximately $49.85\%$ of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 38 and 56.

Write the function a a product of linear factor by grouping or using the x method or a combination of both

Sladkaya [172]

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

$\boxed{\boxed{\pink{\sf Option \ A \ is \ correct .}}}$

<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

Given function to us is :-

$\bf \implies g(x) = x^2 - 9$

And we , need to write the function a a product of linear factor by grouping or using the x method or a combination of both . So let's factorise this ,

$\bf \implies g(x) = x^2 - 9 \\\\\bf\implies g(x) = x^2-3^2\\\\\bf\implies \boxed{\red{\bf g(x) = (x+3)(x-3) }}\:\:\bigg\lgroup \blue{\tt Using \ (a+b)(a-b) \ = a^2-b^2 }\bigg\rgroup$

I have also attached the graph of x²-9.

<h3><u>Hence </u><u>option</u><u> </u><u>A</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>corr</u><u>ect</u><u> </u><u>.</u></h3>

Let a1, a2, a3, ... be a sequence of positive integers in arithmetic progression with common difference

Bezzdna [24]

Since $a_1,a_2,a_3,\cdots$ are in arithmetic progression,

$a_2 = a_1 + 2$

$a_3 = a_2 + 2 = a_1 + 2\cdot2$

$a_4 = a_3+2 = a_1+3\cdot2$

$\cdots \implies a_n = a_1 + 2(n-1)$

and since $b_1,b_2,b_3,\cdots$ are in geometric progression,

$b_2 = 2b_1$

$b_3=2b_2 = 2^2 b_1$

$b_4=2b_3=2^3b_1$

$\cdots\implies b_n=2^{n-1}b_1$

Recall that

$\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n 1 = \underbrace{1+1+1+\cdots+1}_{n\,\rm times} = n$

$\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n k = 1 + 2 + 3 + \cdots + n = \frac{n(n+1)}2$

It follows that

$a_1 + a_2 + \cdots + a_n = \displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n (a_1 + 2(k-1)) \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = a_1 \sum_{k=1}^n 1 + 2 \sum_{k=1}^n (k-1) \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = a_1 n + n(n-1)$

so the left side is

$2(a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_n) = 2c n + 2n(n-1) = 2n^2 + 2(c-1)n$

Also recall that

$\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n ar^{k-1} = \frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}$

so that the right side is

$b_1 + b_2 + \cdots + b_n = \displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n 2^{k-1}b_1 = c(2^n-1)$

Solve for $c$ .

$2n^2 + 2(c-1)n = c(2^n-1) \implies c = \dfrac{2n^2 - 2n}{2^n - 2n - 1} = \dfrac{2n(n-1)}{2^n - 2n - 1}$

Now, the numerator increases more slowly than the denominator, since

$\dfrac{d}{dn}(2n(n-1)) = 4n - 2$

$\dfrac{d}{dn} (2^n-2n-1) = \ln(2)\cdot2^n - 2$

and for $n\ge5$ ,

$2^n > \dfrac4{\ln(2)} n \implies \ln(2)\cdot2^n - 2 > 4n - 2$

This means we only need to check if the claim is true for any $n\in\{1,2,3,4\}$ .

$n=1$ doesn't work, since that makes $c=0$ .

If $n=2$ , then

$c = \dfrac{4}{2^2 - 4 - 1} = \dfrac4{-1} = -4 < 0$

If $n=3$ , then

$c = \dfrac{12}{2^3 - 6 - 1} = 12$

If $n=4$ , then

$c = \dfrac{24}{2^4 - 8 - 1} = \dfrac{24}7 \not\in\Bbb N$

There is only one value for which the claim is true, $c=12$ .
