Answer:

The answer to your question is 11 5/8 cups of flour and 6 3/7 cups of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

The quantities are tripling

The original amount of flour = 3 7/8

The original amount of sugar = 2 1/7

Process

1.- Calculate the amount of flour

-Convert the mix fraction to improper fraction

            3 7/8 = (24 + 7)/8 = 31/8

-Multiply by three

           31/3 x 3 = 93/8

-Convert to mix fraction

                    11

                8 93            

                    13

                      5

- He needs 11 5/8 cups of flour

2.- Calculate the amount of sugar

-Convert to an improper fraction

               2 1/7 = (14 + 1) / 7 = 15/7

-Multiply by three

               15/7 x 3 = 45/7

-Convert to mix fraction

                    6

              7  45

                     3

-He needs 6 3/7 cups of sugar

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

y = 1/3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope - Intercept Form = y = mx + b

y - intercept = b = 2 (point of intersection of the y-axis)

m = slope

Slope = Change in Y/Change In X

You can see that as the graph goes up by 1, it goes to the right 3, so slope = 1/3

Equation : y = mx + b

Equation : y = 1/3x + 2

Write an equation for a line that passes through (-4,8) and 8,-1
KatRina [158]
Slope is change in y over change in x.

Change in y is -9
Change in x is +12

So -9/12 or -2/3

Answer -2/3

Analyzing the Discrim

The values of x that will give the quadratic equation no real number solutions are -5 and 9

<h3>What are real roots of a quadratic equation?</h3>

Real roots of a quadratic equation are values of x, whose numbers can be represented on a number line.

Analysis:

We have -x^{2} +3x +c = 0

b^{2} - 4ac  is called the discriminant of a quadratic equation.

if b^{2} - 4ac  < 0, then the quadratic equation has no real root.

where a = -1, b = 3 c = c

(3)^{2} -4(-1)c < 0

9 + 4c < 0

4c < -9

c < -9/2

Which means values lower than -9/2 would give the solution no real root.

From, the options,  only -5 would give no real solution, since it is lower than -9/2.
