16 = 2/5
16 ÷ 2 = 2/5 ÷ 2/1
8 = 1/5
8 * 5 = 1/5 * 5
40 = 5/5
You started the party with 40 brownies

Let

x--------> total number of brownies made for the party

we know that

$\frac{2}{5}x=16$

Solve for x

$\frac{2}{5}x=16\\ \\2x=5*16\\ \\2x=80\\ \\x=40\ brownies$

therefore

the answer is

$40\ brownies$

Let f be defined by the function f(x) = 1/(x^2+9)

riadik2000 [5.3K]

(a)

$\displaystyle\int_3^\infty \frac{\mathrm dx}{x^2+9}=\lim_{b\to\infty}\int_{x=3}^{x=b}\frac{\mathrm dx}{x^2+9}$

Substitute x = 3 tan(t ) and dx = 3 sec²(t ) dt :

$\displaystyle\lim_{b\to\infty}\int_{t=\arctan(1)}^{t=\arctan\left(\frac b3\right)}\frac{3\sec^2(t)}{(3\tan(t))^2+9}\,\mathrm dt=\frac13\lim_{b\to\infty}\int_{t=\arctan(1)}^{t=\arctan\left(\frac b3\right)}\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle \frac13 \lim_{b\to\infty}\left(\arctan\left(\frac b3\right)-\arctan(1)\right)=\boxed{\dfrac\pi{12}}$

(b) The series

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=3}^\infty \frac1{n^2+9}$

converges by comparison to the convergent p-series,

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=3}^\infty\frac1{n^2}$

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^n (n^2+9)}{e^n}$

converges absolutely, since

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^\infty \left|\frac{(-1)^n (n^2+9)}{e^n}\right|=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{n^2+9}{e^n} < \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{n^2}{e^n} < \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac1{e^n}=\frac1{e-1}$

That is, ∑ (-1)ⁿ (n ² + 9)/eⁿ converges absolutely because ∑ |(-1)ⁿ (n ² + 9)/eⁿ| = ∑ (n ² + 9)/eⁿ in turn converges by comparison to a geometric series.

Points A and B are on the different sides of a line 1, the distance between point A and the line lis 10 in, the distance between

givi [52]

Answer: Distance between O and the line 1 is 3 inches.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Distance between point A and the line 1 = 10 inches

Distance between point B and the line 1 = 4 inches

Total length of segment AB is given by

$10+4=14\ inches$
