Answer:

76

Step-by-step explanation:

Sam bought six new baseball trading cards to add to his collection. The next day his dog ate half of his collection. There are now only thirty eight cards left. Therefore, he started out with 76 baseball trading cards.

Dog ate half of his collection (not including the 6 new baseball cards)

38 are left.

38x2=76

38x2=76

Therefore, he started out with 76 baseball cards.

Polly buys 14 cupcakes for a party. The bakery puts them into boxes that hold 4 cupcakes each.
Temka [501]

Answer:

Part a) The number of boxes needed will be 4

part b) The fraction of the box that is empty is \frac{1}{2}

Part c) Are needed 2 cupcakes to fill the last box

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) How many boxes will be needed for Polly to bring all the cupcakes to the party?

To find out the number of boxes needed, divide the total number of cupcakes by 4 (maximum number of cupcakes that fit in each box).

so

\frac{14}{4}=3.5\ box

Round up

The number of boxes needed will be 4

Part b) If the bakery completely fills as many boxes as possible, what fraction of the last box is empty?

we know that

The maximum number of cupcakes per box is 4

The first three boxes have 4 cupcakes

The last box has

14-3(4)=2\ cupcakes

The fraction of the box that is empty is equal to the number of cupcakes missing to fill the box divided by the cupcake capacity of the box

\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}

Part c) How many more cupcakes are needed to fill this box

Subtract the number of cupcakes in the box from the cupcake capacity of the box

The last box has 2 cupcakes

The cupcake capacity of the box is 4

so

4-2=2\ cupcakes

therefore

Are needed 2 cupcakes to fill the last box

A potential energy function is given by U = A x3 + B x2 − C x + D . For positive parameters A, B, C, D this potential has two eq
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

7.8655

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the functionl

U=Ax^3+Bx^2-cx+D

Where,

A=1.45J/m^3\\B=2.85J/m^2\\c= 1.7J/m\\D=0.6J

We have, replacing,

U=1.45x^3+2.85x^2-1.7x+0.6

We need to derivate and verify for stable equilibrum that,

\frac{d^2 U}{dx^2}>0

Then,

U'(x) = 4.32x^2+5.7x-1.7

Roots in,

x_1=-1.57008\\x_2=0.250636

We obtain U"(x), then we have

\frac{d^2U}{dx}=8.64x+5.7

For x=-1.57, U"(x)=-7.86549 Unestable

For x=0.250636 U"(x)=7.8655>0 Stable

Write the expression in complete factored form. 2n^2(n-2) - a(n-2)
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

<h2>(n-2)(2n² - a)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 2n²(n-2) - a(n-2), to write this expression in a complete factor form, simply follow the instruction;

Let's assume the original expression has been broken down into that form in question, if we look at both terms, we will see that n-2 in parenthesis is common to both terms, we can therefore factor out n-2 from both terms as shown;

=  2n²(n-2) - a(n-2)

= n-2(2n² - a)

Hence the complete factor form of the expression is (n-2)(2n² - a) because the expression cannot be simplified any further.
