2 cakes - Theresa's and Joe's
Theresa's cake had 6 pieces after she cut it. (2 times the size of Joe's pieces)
Joe's cake had 12 pieces after he cut it. (1/2 the size of Theresa's pieces)

We know that 8/12ths of ONE cake were eaten and that Joe ate 2 of his pieces.
We want to know how many pieces Theresa ate of her cake. Keeping in mind that her pieces are equal to 2 of Joe's pieces we can solve this question. 

8/12 eaten total
if 2/12 by Joe
then 8-2 = 6, 6/12 by Theresa
(BUT: Theresa's pieces were twice the size of Joe's so we will divide by 2)
6/12 = 3/6

Answer: Theresa ate 3 pieces of her cake

Write down the quadratic equation whose roots are $x = -7$ and $x = 1,$ and the coefficient of $x^2$ is 1. Enter your answer in
pav-90 [236]
<h2>Steps:</h2>

So firstly, since we know that the coefficient of x² is 1, this means that this is our base equation:

y = x² + bx + c

Now, since we know that the roots are -7 and 1, set y = 0 and set x = -7 and 1 and simplify:

0=(-7)^2+b(-7)+c\\0=49-7b+c\\-49=-7b+c\\\\0=1^2+b(1)+c\\0=1+b+c\\-1=b+c\\\\-49=-7b+c\\-1=b+c

Now with this, we can set up a system of equations to solve for b and c. For this, I will be using the elimination method. For this, subtract the 2 equations:

\begin{alignedat}{2}-49&=-7b+c\\-(-1&=b+c)\\-48&=-8b\end{alignedat}

Now that the c variable has been eliminated we can solve for b. For this, divide both sides by -8 and your first part of your answer is b = 6.

Now that we know the value of b, plug it into either equation to solve for c:

-49=-7(6)+c\\-49=-42+c\\-7=c\\\\-1=6+c\\-7=c

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Putting it together, your final answer is x² + 6x - 7 = 0.</u>

How does radiation transfer thermal energy from the Sun to Earth?
romanna [79]

If you have stood in front of a fireplace or near a campfire, you have felt the heat transfer known as radiation. The side of your body nearest the fire warms, while your other side remains unaffected by the heat. Although you are surrounded by air, the air has nothing to do with this transfer of heat. Heat lamps, that keep food warm, work in the same way. Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation.
