Answer:

15 candles and 6.72 ounces left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jerod has the amount of beeswax = 132.72 ounces

Jerod is making candles from beeswax.

one candle uses the amount of beeswax = 8.4 ounces

Total candles can be made from total beeswax = \frac{132.72}{8.4}

                                                                                = 15.8

With 132.72 ounces wax 15 candles were made.

In order to calculate the left over wax we calculate the amount is used in 15 candles

= 8.4 × 15 = 126 ounces

Left over wax = 132.72 - 126 =  6.72 ounces

Therefore, 15 candles can be made and 6.72 ounces wax would be left over.

How many different committees can be formed from 6 teachers and 37 students if the committee consists of 4 teachers and 4 ​stude
Anna [14]

Answer:

The committee of 8 members can be selected in 990,675 different ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the teachers and the students are chosen is not important, which means that the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

In this question:

4 teachers from a set of 6.

4 students from a set of 37.

Then

T = C_{6,4}C_{37,4} = \frac{6!}{4!2!} \times \frac{37!}{4!33!} = 990675

The committee of 8 members can be selected in 990,675 different ways.

In Exploration 5.4.2 Question 2, what conclusion can you make about the value of the derivative at
givi [52]

The value of the derivative at the maximum or minimum for a continuous function must be zero.

<h3>What happens with the derivative at the maximum of minimum?</h3>

So, remember that the derivative at a given value gives the slope of a tangent line to the curve at that point.

Now, also remember that maximums or minimums are points where the behavior of the curve changes (it stops going up and starts going down or things like that).

If you draw the tangent line to these points, you will see that you end with horizontal lines. And the slope of a horizontal line is zero.

So we conclude that the value of the derivative at the maximum or minimum for a continuous function must be zero.

If you want to learn more about maximums and minimums, you can read:
