Answer:

a) 9 whole batches can be made

b) The cost of sugar for each batch = $0.26

Step-by-step explanation:

A 2-pound bag of sugar contains 227 one-teaspoon servings and costs $2.49.

This means:

2 pound bag of sugar = 227 teaspoon servings

2 pounds bag of sugar cost $2.49

We are told that:

A batch of muffins uses 1/2 cup of sugar.

a).How many whole batches can you make if you use as much of the sugar as possible?

(1 cup = 48 teaspoons)

Hence, A batch of muffins = 1/2 cups of sugar = 48 teaspoons of sugar ÷ 2

= 24 teaspoons of sugar

Hence:

24 teaspoons of sugar = 1 batch of muffins

227 teaspoons of sugar = x

Cross Multiply

24 × x = 1 × 227

x = 227/24

x = 9.4583333333 batches of muffins

We are asked to name the number of whole batches that can be made.

Therefore, 9 whole batches of muffins can be made

b) What is the cost of sugar for each batch? (do not consider leftover sugar in the cost calculation.) You can make a total of batches at $ per batch.

Since we are not to consider the leftover sugar in the cost calculation,

1 batch = 24 teaspoons of sugar

9 whole batches =

9 × 24 teaspoons = 216 teaspoons of sugar was used

The left over = 227 - 216 = 11 teaspoons of sugar is left

We know that:

227 teaspoons of sugar = $2.49

216 teaspoons of sugar = x

Cross Multiply

= 216 × $2.49/227

= $2.369339207

24 teaspoons of sugar = 1 batch of muffins

Therefore,

216 teaspoons of sugar =

$2.369339207

24 teaspoons of sugar =

24 × $2.369339207/ 216

= $0.2632599119

Approximately = $0.26

Therefore, the cost of sugar for each batch = $0.26

Q3. A bag contains 7 red balls and 3 green balls. A ball is taken out replaced.
ycow [4]

Part (a)

There are 7 red out of 7+3 = 10 total

<h3>Answer: 7/10</h3>

==========================================================

Part (b)

We have 3 green out of 10 total

<h3>Answer: 3/10</h3>

==========================================================

Part (c)

3/10 is the probability of getting green on any selection. This is because we put the first selection back (or it is replaced with an identical copy)

So (3/10)*(3/10) = 9/100 is the probability of getting two green in a row.

<h3>Answer: 9/100</h3>

==========================================================

Part (d)

Similar to part (c) we have 7/10 as the probability of getting red on each independent selection.

(7/10)*(7/10) = 49/100

<h3>Answer: 49/100</h3>

==========================================================

Part (e)

7/10 is the probability of getting red and 3/10 is the probability of getting green. Each selection is independent of any others.

(7/10)*(3/10) = 21/100

<h3>Answer: 21/100</h3>

==========================================================

Part (f)

We have the exact same set up as part (e). Notice how (7/10)*(3/10) is the same as (3/10)*(7/10).

<h3>Answer: 21/100</h3>

What are the coordinates of the turning point for the function f(x) = (x - 1)3 - 3? A. (-1, -3)
Naddik [55]
ANSWER

The turning point is

(1,-3).


EXPLANATION


The function given to us is

f(x) = (x - 1) ^{3}  - 3

At turning point,
f  '(x) = 0

So we need to differentiate the given function and equate it to zero.



We using the chain rule of differentiation, we obtain,
f '(x) =3 (x - 1) ^{2}

We equate this to zero to obtain,




3 (x - 1) ^{2}   = 0



We divide through by 3.


(x - 1) ^{2}   = 0

We solve for x to get,

x - 1 = 0


x = 1


We substitute this x-value in to the function to obtain the corresponding y-value of the turning point.





f(1) = (1- 1) ^{3}  - 3




f(1) = 0 - 3


f(1) = - 3

Therefore the turning point is


(1,-3)

C is the correct answer.
