Answer: They must mix 10

pounds of the Kenya Blend and 60

pounds of the Queen City Blend.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the the quantity of Kenya coffee blend.

Let y represent the the quantity of Queen City coffee blend.

The quantity o coffee to be created is 70 pounds. This means that

x + y = 70

The coffee distributor needs to mix a(n) Kenya coffee blend that normally sells for $11.60 per pound with a Queen City coffee blend that normally sells for $14.30 per pound to create 70 pounds of a coffee that can sell for $13.91 per pound. The total cost of the mixture is

70 × 13.91 = $973.7

The expression would be

11.6x + 14.3y = 973.7 - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 70 - y into equation 1, it becomes

11.6(70 - y) + 14.3y = 973.7

812 - 11.6y + 14.3y = 973.7

- 11.6y + 14.3y = 973.7 - 812

2.7y = 161.7

y = 161.7/2.7

y = 59.88

Approximately 60 pounds.

x = 70 - y = 70 - 60

x = 10 pounds

Boa tarde gentiii Abaixo aparecem quatro sequências. Defina cada uma delas como RECURSIVA ou NÃO RECURSIVA. a) (5, 7, 9, 11, 13,
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

a) (5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, ...) Recursivo

b) (1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, ...) Recursivo

c) (1, 8, 27, 64, ...) Recursivo

d) (2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, ...) Recursivo

Step-by-step explanation:

Uma função recursiva é aquela em que os termos subsequentes da função são calculados com base nos termos anteriores

O comportamento recursivo é exibido pelos objetos quando consiste em seguir as partes;

1) Uma base que é predefinida

2) Um processo ou etapa recursiva que produz termos subsequentes pela aplicação de certos processos

Para a série;

a) (5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, ...)

Aqui 5 é a base e os termos subsequentes são encontrados adicionando 2 ao termo anterior, portanto, é uma função recursiva

aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + 2

b) (1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, ...)

Aqui 1 é a base e os termos subsequentes são encontrados ao quadrado da soma da raiz do termo anterior e 1, portanto, é uma função recursiva

aₙ = (√ (aₙ₋₁) + 1) ²

c) (1, 8, 27, 64, ...)

Aqui 1 é a base e os termos subsequentes são encontrados elevando à potência de três a soma da raiz cúbica do termo anterior e 1, portanto, é uma função recursiva

aₙ = (∛ (aₙ₋₁) + 1) ³

d) (2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, ...)

Aqui 2 é a base e os termos subsequentes são encontrados adicionando 3 ao termo anterior, portanto, é uma função recursiva.

When you subtract one negative integer from another, will your answer be greater than or less than the integer you started with?
SVEN [57.7K]
So say for example u have -7 - (-5), think of subtracting integers as adding the opposite, so ur adding the opposite of -5, the opposite of -5 is 5, so ur adding -7 and 5= -2
another one: -15 - (-18)
again, adding the opposite. -15 plus positive 18= 3
