Answer:

The answer is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Let us assume Patricia baked x number of cakes. She put half of the cupcakes (i.e x/2) equally into 6 big boxes.

6 big boxes contained \frac{x}{2} cakes, therefore 1 big box would contain \frac{x}{2}/6=\frac{x}{12} cakes.

Let us assume she put the other half into 14 small boxes, therefore each small box would contain \frac{x}{2}/14=\frac{x}{28} cakes.

There were 45 cupcakes in 3 big boxes and 8 small boxes altogether. That is:3(\frac{x}{12} )+8(\frac{x}{28})=45\\ 84x+96x=15120\\180x=15120\\x=84

Therefore Patricia baked 84 cup cakes

b)

She sold all the small boxes and collected $189, i.e she sold 14 small box for $189. Each small box = $189/14 = $13.5

Solutions 

1) Convert mixed fractions into improper fractions. 

\frac{17}{5}+ \frac{11}{5}

= ((17 * 5) + (11 * 5)) / (5 * 5)

= (85 + 55) / 25

= 140/25

= 28/5

What is the sum of the measures of the interior angles formed by the boundary of this team pennant?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Option 3rd is correct that is 180^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the pennant has three points it is in triangular shape since, have three points

Triangle is enclosed figure.

As we know the sum of interior angles of triangles is 180^{\circ}

Therefore, Option 1,2,4 are discarded.

Hence, Option 3rd is correct.

Find the solution of the differential equation that satisfies the given initial condition. y' tan x = 3a + y, y(π/3) = 3a, 0 &lt
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

y(x)=4a\sqrt{3}* sin(x)-3a

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a separable equation, first let's rewrite the equation as:

\frac{dy(x)}{dx} =\frac{3a+y}{tan(x)}

But:

\frac{1}{tan(x)} =cot(x)

So:

\frac{dy(x)}{dx} =cot(x)*(3a+y)

Multiplying both sides by dx and dividing both sides by 3a+y:

\frac{dy}{3a+y} =cot(x)dx

Integrating both sides:

\int\ \frac{dy}{3a+y} =\int\cot(x) \, dx

Evaluating the integrals:

log(3a+y)=log(sin(x))+C_1

Where C1 is an arbitrary constant.

Solving for y:

y(x)=-3a+e^{C_1} sin(x)

e^{C_1} =constant

So:

y(x)=C_1*sin(x)-3a

Finally, let's evaluate the initial condition in order to find C1:

y(\frac{\pi}{3} )=3a=C_1*sin(\frac{\pi}{3})-3a\\ 3a=C_1*\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} -3a

Solving for C1:

C_1=4a\sqrt{3}

Therefore:

y(x)=4a\sqrt{3}* sin(x)-3a

The perimeter of a rectangle given the area and height.
GuDViN [60]

hello :)

so here i am assuming that 66m^2 is the area and the height is 6.3 (sorry, but the way you wrote it is a bit funny, its all good tho)

so to calculate area it is hieght multipled by width

so you have to divide 66 by 6.3, which gives you this very long number : 10.4761904762

i would personally round it to either just 10 or 10.5

so you would want to write the answer as ≈10.5

hope that helped!

i would appreciate it if you voted me as brainliest :)
