Answer:

<em>72 omelets</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

If the whole stick of butter is cut into 6 pieces, and you can use one of those 6 pieces of butter per omelet, you can make 6 omelets with one stick of butter. Now, you have 12 sticks of butter, and you can make 6 omelets with each. 12 x 6= 72. I believe u can make 72 omelets in all.

Hope this helps dear!!

Find the generating function for the sequence 1,-2,4,-8, 16, ...

kirill [66]

Answer:

$a(x)=\dfrac{1}{1+2x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The generating function a(x) produces a power series ...

$a(x)=a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+a_3x^3+\dots$

where the coefficients are the elements of the given sequence.

We observe that the given sequence has the recurrence relation ...

$a_0=1;a_n=-2a_{n-1} \quad\text{for n $>$ 0}$

This can be rearranged to ...

$a_n+2a_{n-1}=0$

We can formulate this in terms of a(x) as follows, then solve for a(x).

$\sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=1} {a_{n}x^n} =a(x)-a_0 \quad\text{and}\\\\\sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=1} {2a_{n-1}x^n} =(2x)a(x) \quad\text{so}\\\\\sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=1} {(a_n+2a_{n-1})x^n}=0=a(x)-a_0+2xa(x)\\\\a(x)=\dfrac{a_0}{1+2x}=\dfrac{1}{1+2x}$

The generating function is ...

a(x) = 1/(1+2x)

A sample of gold has a mass of 579 g. The volume of the sample is 30 cm3. What is the density of the gold sample?

Ugo [173]

The density of the gold sample is 19.3g/cm³

Let the mass of the gold sample be represented by m

m = 579 g

Let the volume of the gold sample be represented by V

V = 30 cm³

Let the density of the gold sample be represented by ρ

The formula for the density is:

$Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}$

$\rho = \frac{m}{V} \\\rho = \frac{579}{30} \\\rho = 19.3 g/cm^3$

The density of the gold sample is 19.3g/cm³

Georgia [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

When a number is grouped with the x in this problem it will move the graph right (if it is is minus) and it will

move it left ( if it is plus), therefore the original graph will be move to the left 5 units.

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Candidates are chosen without replacement, thus trials are dependent, meaning that Y has a hypergeometric distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference between hypergeometric and binomial distributions:

In the hypergeometric distribution, trials are dependent of other trials, while in the binomial distribution, they are independent. This can be examplified that in the hypergeometric distribution, the candidates are chosen from a set without replacement, while in the binomial distribution they are chosen with replacement.

In this question:

Candidates are chosen without replacement, thus trials are dependent, meaning that Y has a hypergeometric distribution.
