Answer:

She got $30.15 more for selling the juice than she paid to buy it

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Britney bought 3 gallons of juice for $2.75 per gallon. She sold the juice 1-cup servings for $0.80 each. Each serving is 1/16 gallon. How much more did She get for selling the juice than she paid to buy it?</em></u>

To solve the problem, we will follow the steps below;

1 gallon = $2.75

3 gallons = 3× $2.75 =$ 8.25

We will find the number of servings in in 3 gallons

1- cup serving = 1/16 gallon

number of serving = 3 gallons ÷ 1/16 gallon

= 3×16

= 48

But each cup serving = $ 0.80

48 servings = 48×$0.80 = $38.4

How much more She got for selling the juice than she paid to buy it =

$38.4 - $ 8.25 =$30.15

It is given that y varies inversely as x^2. If x is decreased by 50%, find the percentage change in y.

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

300%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y\ \alpha\ \frac{1}{x^2}$

Required

Find the percentage change in y when x decreased by 50%

First, convert to equation

$y\ = \ \frac{k}{x^2}$

Where k is the constant of proportionality

When x decreased by 50%

$Y = \frac{k}{(x - 0.5x)^2}$

$Y = \frac{k}{(0.5x)^2}$

$Y = \frac{k}{0.25x^2}$

Expand

$Y = \frac{1}{0.25} * \frac{k}{x^2}$

Substitute $\frac{k}{x^2}$ for y

$Y = \frac{1}{0.25} * y$

$Y = 4 * y$

$Y = 4 y$

The percentage change is then calculated as:

$\%Change = \frac{Y - y}{y} * 100\%$

$\%Change = \frac{4y - y}{y} * 100\%$

$\%Change = \frac{3y}{y} * 100\%$

$\%Change = 3 * 100\%$

$\%Change = 300\%$

<em>The percentage in y is 300%</em>

Use the Polynomial Identity below to help you create a list of 10 Pythagorean Triples:

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

(3,4,5)

(6,8,10)

(5,12,13)

(8,15,17)

(12,16,20)

(7,24,25)

(10,24,26)

(20,21,29)

(16,30,34)

(9,40,41)

Just choose 2 numbers from {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,...} and make sure the one you input for x is larger.

Post the three in the comments and I will check them for you.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to choose 2 positive integers for x and y where x>y.

Positive integers are {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,.....}.

I'm going to start with (x,y)=(2,1).

x=2 and y=1.

$(2^2+1^2)^2=(2^2-1^2)^2+(2\cdot2\cdot1)^2$

$(4+1)^2=(4-1)^2+(4)^2$

$(5)^2=(3)^2+(4)^2$

So one Pythagorean Triple is (3,4,5).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(3,1).

x=3 and y=1.

$(3^2+1^2)^2=(3^2-1^2)^2+(2\cdot3\cdot1)^2$

$(9+1)^2=(9-1)^2+(6)^2$

$(10)^2=(8)^2+(6)^2$

So another Pythagorean Triple is (6,8,10).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(3,2).

x=3 and y=2.

$(3^2+2^2)^2=(3^2-2^2)^2+(2\cdot3\cdot2)^2$

$(9+4)^2=(9-4)^2+(12)^2$

$(13)^2=(5)^2+(12)^2$

So another is (5,12,13).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(4,1).

$(4^2+1^2)^2=(4^2-1^2)^2+(2\cdot4\cdot1)^2$

$(16+1)^2=(16-1)^2+(8)^2$

$(17)^2=(15)^2+(8)^2$

Another is (8,15,17).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(4,2).

$(4^2+2^2)^2=(4^2-2^2)^2+(2\cdot4\cdot2)^2$

$(16+4)^2=(16-4)^2+(16)^2$

$(20)^2=(12)^2+(16)^2$

We have another which is (12,16,20).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(4,3).

$(4^2+3^2)^2=(4^2-3^2)^2+(2\cdot4\cdot3)^2$

$(16+9)^2=(16-9)^2+(24)^2$

$(25)^2=(7)^2+(24)^2$

We have another is (7,24,25).

You are just choosing numbers from the positive integer set {1,2,3,4,... } and making sure the number you plug in for x is higher than the number for y.

I will do one more.

Let's choose (x,y)=(5,1).

$(5^2+1^2)^2=(5^2-1^2)^2+(2\cdot5\cdot1)^2$

$(25+1)^2=(25-1)^2+(10)^2$

$(26)^2=(24)^2+(10)^2$

So (10,24,26) is another.

Let (x,y)=(5,2).

$(5^2+2^2)^2=(5^2-2^2)^2+(2\cdot5\cdot2)^2$

$(25+4)^2=(25-4)^2+(20)^2$

$(29)^2=(21)^2+(20)^2$

So another Pythagorean Triple is (20,21,29).

Choose (x,y)=(5,3).

$(5^2+3^2)^2=(5^2-3^2)^2+(2\cdot5\cdot3)^2$

$(25+9)^2=(25-9)^2+(30)^2$

$(34)^2=(16)^2+(30)^2$

Another Pythagorean Triple is (16,30,34).

Let (x,y)=(5,4)

$(5^2+4^2)^2=(5^2-4^2)^2+(2\cdot5\cdot4)^2$

$(25+16)^2=(25-16)^2+(40)^2$

$(41)^2=(9)^2+(40)^2$

Another is (9,40,41).
