Answer: 37.5%


Explanation:


Percentage is defined as parts of an amount  in 100 parts of a basis. This must be stated mathamatically for better understanding and for calculations. It is the ratio:

             % = (parts / base) × 100.


In this case you need to express the amount of butter as a part in 100 parts of all purpose flour, which, using the above definition, is:


        % butter = (0.75 pounds of butter / 2 pound of flour) × 100

         % butter = 0.75 × 100 / 2 = 75 / 2 = 37.5


The answer is expressed as 37.5%.

Difference between dot and cross product
Rashid [163]
If you have two vectors A and B,
Dot product is a scalar quantity dealing with how much of one vector is in the same direction as the other vector, or the projection of one onto the other. You can see that from the cosine part of this form-
A~*~B = [A][B]cos(\theta)

The cross product is a vector perpendicular to both A and B. It deals with how much of one vector is perpendicular to the other vector. You can see that in the sine part of this form -
A ~x ~B= [A][B]sin(\theta)

An arithmetic sequence is represented by the recursive formula a1=17an=an−1−8 . What is the fourth term in the sequence? a4=−4 a
user100 [1]

Answer:

a₄ = - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the recursive formula and a₁ = 17 , then

a₂ = a₁ - 8 = 17 - 8 = 9

a₃ = a₂ - 8 = 9 - 8 = 1

a₃ = a₂ - 8 = 1 - 8 = - 7

a₄ = a₃ - 8 = - 7 - 8 = - 15

Solve the equation identify extraneous solutions
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal to solving any equation is to have x = {something}.  That means we need to get the x out from underneath that radical.  It's a square root, so we can "undo" it by squaring.  Square both sides because this is an equation.  Squaring both sides gives you

x^2=-3x+40

Get everything on one side of the equals sign and set the quadratic equal to 0:

x^2+3x-40=0

Throw this into the quadratic formula to get that the solutions are x = 5 and -8.  We need to see if only one works, both work, or neither work in the original equation.

Does 5=\sqrt{-3(5)+40}?

5=\sqrt{-15+40} and

5=\sqrt{25}

and 5 = 5.  So 5 works.  Let's try -8 now:

-8=\sqrt{-3(-8)+40} and

-8=\sqrt{24+40} so

-8=\sqrt{64}

-8 = 8?  No it doesn't.  So only 5 works. Your choice is the third one down.
