Answer:

<h2>117 sweets</h2>

Solution,

Given ratio= 4 : 2 : 3

Sarah has 4x sweets.

Natasha has 2x sweets.

Richard has 3x sweets.

Given,

3x + 13 = 4x \\ 3 x - 4 x=  - 13 \\  - x =  - 13 \\ x = 13

Now,

Total sweets:

4x + 2x + 3x \\  = 4 \times 13 + 2  \times 13 \times 3 \times 13 \\  = 52 + 26 + 39 \\  = 117 \: sweets

Hope this helps..

Good luck on your assignment...

Answer:

117 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see attached picture for full solution. (model method)

S, N and R represents the number of sweets Sarah, Natasha and Richard have respectively.

Alternatively,

Let the number of sweets Sarah have be 4x.

Number of sweets Natasha have= 2x

Number of sweets Richard have= 3x

<em>Sarah gets 13 more sweets than Richard</em>

4x= 3x +13

4x -3x= 13

x= 13

Total number of sweets

= 4x +2x +3x

= 9x <em>(</em><em>simplify</em><em>)</em>

= 9(13) <em>(</em><em>subst</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>3</em><em>)</em>

= 117 sweets

2x-1, x &lt; 2 12. Show that f(x) = { 3x 2 x ≥ 2 is continuous.​
choli [55]

Using the continuity concept, since the lateral limits and the numeric value of the function are equal at the point in which the definition changes, the function is continuous.

<h3>What is the continuity concept?</h3>

A function f(x) is continuous at x = a if it is defined at x = a, and:

\lim_{x \rightarrow a^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow a^+} f(x) = f(a)

The definition of the piecewise function is given by:

  • f(x) = 2x - 1, x < 2.
  • f(x) = 3x/2, x >= 2.

Since the definition of the function changes at x = 2, and the domain of the function has no restrictions, this is the only point in which there may be a discontinuity.

The lateral limits are:

  • \lim_{x \rightarrow 2^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 2} 2x - 1 = 2(2) - 1 = 3.
  • \lim_{x \rightarrow 2^+} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 2} 1.5x = 1.5(2) = 3.

The numeric value is:

f(2) = 1.5 x 2 = 3.

Since the lateral limits and the numeric value of the function are equal at the point in which the definition changes, the function is continuous.

Answer:

EG = 16 and FH =22

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other

so 2a  = 3b+2

and 2a+3 = 6b-1

We know have a system of equations to solve

2a  = 3b+2

 2a+3 = 6b-1

Subtract 3 from each side

2a+3-3 = 6b-1-3

2a = 6b -4

Now we can set the 2 equations equal  ( 2a  = 3b+2  and 2a = 6b -4)

3b+2 = 6b-4

Subtract 3b from each side

3b-3b+2 = 6b-3b-4

2 = 3b-4

Add 4 to each side

2+4 = 3b-4+4

6 = 3b

Divide by 3

6/3 = 3b/3

2 =b

We want to find a

2a  = 3b+2

Substitute in b=2

2a = 3(2) + 2

2a = 6+2

2a =8

Divide by 2

2a/2 =8/2

a = 4

Now that we know a and b

EG = 2a + 3b+2

    = 2(4) + 3(2)+2

   = 8+6+2

   = 16

FH = 2a+3 + 6b-1

    = 2(4) +3 +6(2)-1

    = 8+3+12-1

   = 23-1

  = 22

Sam has purchased a $30,000 car for his business. The car depreciates 30% every year. What is the explicit formula for this sequ
Step2247 [10]
If your just figuring out how much the car depreciated just by driving off the lot new...1st year.
$30,000×.30=$9,000

$30,000- $9,000=$21,000.

just take the brand new value of the car multiplied by the .30% of the 1st depreciation...take that answer ($9,000) and subtract it from your orginal value of $31,000.

which gives you $21,000
