Answer:

you will need 5/8 sticks of butter for 5 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

You need 3 sticks of butter for every 24 cookies you bake. How many sticks of butter for 5 cookies

To solve this, you simply need to use proportion;

3 sticks = 24 cookies

x = 5 cookies

cross multiply

24 × x = 3 × 5

24x = 15

Divide both-side of the equation by 24 in order to get the value of x.

24x/24 = 15/24

( on the left-hand side of the equation, 24 at the numerator will cancel-out the 24 at the denominator and we will be left with just x, while on the right- hand-side of the equation, 15 will be divided by 24)

x = 15/24

(3 can divide both 15 and 24, so we will reduce 15 and 24 to its lowest term by dividing the two numbers by three).

x = 5/8

Therefore, 5/8 stick of butter is needed for 5 cookies

F(x)=X over x^3-2x^2+5x why will this have no zeros

Mumz [18]

If you evaluate directly this function at x=0, you'll see that you have a zero denominator.

Nevertheless, the only way for a fraction to equal zero is to have a zero numerator, i.e.

$\dfrac{x}{x^3-2x^2+5x}=0\iff x=0$

So, this function can't have zeroes, because the only point that would annihilate the numerator would annihilate the denominator as well.

Moreover, we have

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0} \dfrac{x}{x^3-2x^2+5x} = \lim_{x\to 0} \dfrac{x}{x(x^2-2x+5)} = \lim_{x\to 0} \dfrac{1}{x^2-2x+5} = \dfrac{1}{5}$

So, we can't even extend with continuity this function in such a way that $f(0)=0$

How to solve a multiplication problem with a variable?

VashaNatasha [74]

In order to move a number that is multiplied or divided by the variable, you must do the inverse to both sides. That means, if the number is multiplied, you must divide it by both sides. If it's divided, you must multiply it by both side. steps so that you can apply them to more complex problems.
