Answer:

5 7/10 cups of raisins

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that the total volume made equals the sum of the volumes of the individual ingredients.

He uses 2 cups of raisins and makes 7 cups of trail mix. That mean the amount of other ingredients is 7 cups - 2 cups = 5 cups.

He uses 2 cups raisins and 5 cups of other ingredients.

When he uses 14 1/4 cups of other ingredients instead of only 5 cups, he is multiplying the recipe to make it bigger.

Now we calculate how many times he is multiplying the recipe by.

14 1/4 divided by 5 = (14 1/4)/5 = (57/4)/5 = 57/4 * 1/5 = 57/20

He is making 57/20 times the original recipe.

Since he is making 57/20 times the recipe, he needs 57/20 times 2 cups of raisins.

Now we calculate what 57/20 times 2 cups of raisins is.

57/20 * 2 = (57 * 2)/10 = (57 * 2)/(10 * 2) = 57/10 = 5 7/10

Answer: 5 7/10 cups of raisins

LenaWriter [7]

The amount of radioactive material remaining after 24 hours is 92.15 kg.

<h3>Exponential function</h3>

An exponential function is in the form:

y = abˣ

where y, x are variables, a is the initial value of y and b is the multiplier.

Let y represent the amount of the substance after t hours.

From the equation, a = 100 mg

Also, after 6 hours:

100-100*2\%=100b^6\\\\98=100b^6\\\\b=0.9966

After 24 hours:

y = 100(0.9966)²⁴ = 92.15 kg

The amount of radioactive material remaining after 24 hours is 92.15 kg.

Determine equation of a line passing through a point (5,-3) with and undefined slope
avanturin [10]
Slope is calculate using the following equation:
slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
since the slope is undefined, therefore, the denominator is equal to zero, which means that x2 = x1.

Based on this, the only curves with undefined slopes are the curves with equation: x = constant

Therefore, <span>equation of a line passing through a point (5,-3) with and undefined slope is x = 5</span>

Translate Δ A B C 6 units horizontally. How are the values in the ordered pairs affected by the translation?
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The x-coordinates are translated 6 units to the left or right while the y-coordinates are not affected.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle has vertices at A(-4,1), B(-2,1) and C(-2,4)

The transformation rule for a horizontal translation by k units is

(x,y)\to (x\pm k,y)

In this case we have k=6

A(-4,1)\to A'(-4\pm6,1)

B(-2,1)\to B'(-2\pm6,1)

C(-2,4)\to C'(-2\pm6,4)

Therefore the x-coordinates are translated 6 units to the left or right while the y-coordinates are not affected.

Help ASAP please thanks

Answer:

#1: -2 ≤ y ≤ ∞

#2: -2 ≤ x ≤ 2

#3: -4 ≤ y ≤ 3

#4: -5 ≤ y ≤ ∞

#5: 0 ≤ x ≤ ∞

Step-by-step explanation:

To do these, you must understand what range and domain are:

Range: all the values that y can be

Domain: all the values that x can be

#1: It's asking for range, so look at the posible y values. The smallest y value is -2, and the largest is actually infinity. So, the range is: -2 ≤ y ≤ ∞.

#2: It's asking for domain, so look at the possible x values. The smallest is -2 and the largest is 2, so: -2 ≤ x ≤ 2.

#3: Again, it's asking for range, so look at the possible y values. The smallest is -4, and the largest is 3, so: -4 ≤ y ≤ 3.

#4: It's asking for range. The smallest value is -5, and the largest goes to infinity (from the arrows), so: -5 ≤ y ≤ ∞.

#5: It's asking for domain. The smallest x value is 0, and it goes to infinity. So: 0 ≤ x ≤ ∞.
