Answer:

64/3 tablespoons of sugar for 32 ounces of water

Step-by-step explanation:

In these kinds of questions it is nice to find how muc of 1 thing there is for every ONE of another. so 8 tablespoons of sugar for 12 ouncesof water you can divide both sides by 8 or 12.

Dividing it by 8 gets 8/8 = 1 tablespoon of sugar for 12/8 = 1.5 ounces of water.

Dividing by 12 gets 8/12 = 2/3 tablespoon of sugar for 12/12 = 1 ounce of water.

Now you can take one or the other and multiply it to fit whichever you want to fit a ratio.

It asks what happens if you use 32 ounces of water, so lets use the ratio where we hae 1 ounce, then multiply everything by 32.

2/3 tablespoon of sugar for 1 ounce of water

Multiply by 32 and you get 32*(2/3) = 64/3 tablespoons of sugar for 32 ounces of water

3. For the polynomial: ()=−2(+19)3(−14)(+3)2, do the following:A. Create a table of values that have the x-intercepts of p(x) in

Pepsi [2]

Part A. We are given the following polynomial:

$\mleft(\mright)=-2\mleft(+19\mright)^3\mleft(-14\mright)\mleft(+3\mright)^2$

This is a polynomial of the form:

$p=k(x-a)^b(x-c)^d\ldots(x-e)^f$

The x-intercepts are the numbers that make the polynomial zero, that is:

$\begin{gathered} p=0 \\ (x-a)^b(x-c)^d\ldots(x-e)^f=0 \end{gathered}$

The values of x are then found by setting each factor to zero:

$\begin{gathered} (x-a)=0 \\ (x-c)=0 \\ \text{.} \\ \text{.} \\ (x-e)=0 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, this values are:

$\begin{gathered} x=a \\ x=c \\ \text{.} \\ \text{.} \\ x=e \end{gathered}$

In this case, the x-intercepts are:

$\begin{gathered} x=-19 \\ x=14 \\ x=-3 \end{gathered}$

The multiplicity are the exponents of the factor where we got the x-intercept, therefore, the multiplicities are:

Part B. The degree of a polynomial is the sum of its multiplicities, therefore, the degree in this case is:

$\begin{gathered} n=3+1+2 \\ n=6 \end{gathered}$

To determine the end behavior of the polynomial we need to know the sign of the leading coefficient that is, the sign of the coefficient of the term with the highest power. In this case, the leading coefficient is -2, since the degree of the polynomial is an even number this means that both ends are down. If the leading coefficient were a positive number then both ends would go up. In the case that the leading coefficient was positive and the degree and odd number then the left end would be down and the right end would be up, and if the leading coefficient were a negative number and the degree an odd number then the left end would be up and the right end would be down.

Part C. A sketch of the graph is the following:

If the multiplicity is an odd number the graph will cross the x-axis at that x-intercept and if the multiplicity is an even number it will tangent to the x-axis at that x-intercept.

Please help me with this

Masja [62]

Answer:

c = a - 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = b + 12 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

a - 12 = b

Substitute b = a - 12 into b = c + 4

a - 12 = c + 4 ( add 12 to both sides )

a = c + 16 ( subtract 16 from both sides )

c = a - 16

What is the conversion?

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The conversion factor in the box is the product ...

$\dfrac{1\,\text{kPa}}{1000\,\text{Pa}}\cdot\left(\dfrac{1\,\text{m}}{100\,\text{cm}}\right)^3=10^{-9}\,\dfrac{\text{kPa m}^3}{\text{Pa cm}^3}$

_____

The purpose of a conversion factor is to multiply by 1 in the form of a ratio that changes the units. We know that 1000 Pa = 1 kPa, so the ratio (1 kPa)/(1000 Pa) is the ratio of two equal quantities. It has the value 1 and will change units from Pa to kPa.

Likewise, 100 cm = 1 m, so (1 m)/(100 cm) will change the units from cm to m. However the given expression uses cm³, so we need to multiply by the conversion factor 3 times. That factor is ((1 m)/(100 cm))³ = (1 m³)/(10⁶ cm³).

To choose the appropriate conversion factor, look at the units you have (Pa, cm) and the units you want (kPa, m). Find the relationship these have to each other, and write the ratio so that it will cancel the units you have and leave the units you want.

When SI units are involved the prefixes help you out. k = kilo = 1000; c = centi = 1/100. It is worthwhile to get to know them.
