A granola bite contains 27 calories. Most of the calories come from c grams of carbohydrates. The rest come from other ingredien

ts. One gram of carbohydrate contains 4 calories. The equation 4c + 5 = 27 represents the relationship between these quantities. Step 1: Answer the following questions: a. What could the 5 represent in this situation? b. Priya said that neither 8 nor 3 could be the solution to the equation. Explain why she is correct. c. Find the solution to the equation.

Answer:

a. 5 represents the number of calories that come from other ingredients.

b. Neither 8 nor 3 satisfy the given equation, so neither 8 nor 3 can be the solution to the equation.

c. <em>c = 5.5</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

$4c + 5 = 27$

Where $c$ represents the grams of carbohydrates

27 is the total number of calories that are received by the granola bite.

4 is the number of calories from 1 gram of carbohydrates and

5 is the number of calories that are received from other ingredients.

Answer of Part a:

5 is the number of calories that are received from other ingredients.

Part b:

Let us take left hand side (LHS) and put values of c = 8 and 3 one by one.

So, LHS becomes:

4 \times 8 + 5 = 37 $\neq RHS\ i.e.\ 27$

4 \times 3 + 5 = 17 $\neq RHS\ i.e.\ 27$

So, Priya is correct that neither 8 or 3 could be solution.

Part c:

$4c + 5 = 27\\\Rightarrow 4c = 22\\\Rightarrow \bold{c = 5.5}$

So, solution to the equation is: <em>c = 5.5</em>

A rectangle with an area of 24 square units has length x+1 and width 4x-6. find the value of x.

astra-53 [7]

Area = length x width.
24 = (x + 2)(x - 3) = x² - x - 6
x² - x - 30 = 0
(x + 5)(x - 6) = 0
We can eliminate the root x = - 5 because dimensions cannot be negative. So, the only valid answer is x = 6

The length = x + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8 in.
The width = x - 3 = 6 - 3 = 3 in.

A rumor spreads through a small town. Let y(t) be the fraction of the population that has heard the rumor at time t and assume t

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The answer is shown below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y(t) be the fraction of the population that has heard the rumor at time t and assume that the rate at which the rumor spreads is proportional to the product of the fraction y of the population that has heard the rumor and the fraction 1−y that has not yet heard the rumor.

a)

$\frac{dy}{dt}\ \alpha\ y(1-y)$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=ky(1-y)$

where k is the constant of proportionality, dy/dt = rate at which the rumor spreads

b)

$\frac{dy}{dt}=ky(1-y)\\\frac{dy}{y(1-y)}=kdt\\\int\limits {\frac{dy}{y(1-y)}} \, =\int\limit {kdt}\\\int\limits {\frac{dy}{y}} +\int\limits {\frac{dy}{1-y}} =\int\limit {kdt}\\\\ln(y)-ln(1-y)=kt+c\\ln(\frac{y}{1-y}) =kt+c\\taking \ exponential \ of\ both \ sides\\\frac{y}{1-y} =e^{kt+c}\\\frac{y}{1-y} =e^{kt}e^c\\let\ A=e^c\\\frac{y}{1-y} =Ae^{kt}\\y=(1-y)Ae^{kt}\\y=\frac{Ae^{kt}}{1+Ae^{kt}} \\at \ t=0,y=10\%\\0.1=\frac{Ae^{k*0}}{1+Ae^{k*0}} \\0.1=\frac{A}{1+A} \\A=\frac{1}{9} \\$

$y=\frac{\frac{1}{9} e^{kt}}{1+\frac{1}{9} e^{kt}}\\y=\frac{1}{1+9e^{-kt}}$

At t = 2, y = 40% = 0.4

c) At y = 75% = 0.75

$y=\frac{1}{1+9e^{-0.8959t}}\\0.75=\frac{1}{1+9e^{-0.8959t}}\\t=3.68\ days$
