If the recipe makes enough stew for 6 people, and the ingredients cost $9.75, then for 24 people it will cost $x. You can write this statement as

6 people - $9.75,

24 people - $x.

Or as proportion,

$\dfrac{6}{24}=\dfrac{9.75}{x}.$

Find x:

$6\cdot x=9.75\cdot 24,\\ \\x=\dfrac{9.75\cdot 24}{6}=9.75\cdot 4=39.$

Answer: It would cost $39 to serve 24 people

How do you write y=-6/5x-7/5 in standard form

Anvisha [2.4K]

Y=-6/5x-7/5
You add it and move it to the other side
y+6/5x=-7/5
Multiply both sides by 5
5y+6x=-7
Rearrange
6x+5y=-7

PLZ HELP!!!

The first and last choices are the only ones whose angles total 180 degrees, so they're the only possible triangles.

Butoxors [25]

So ur numbers are : 3,3,4,5,5,5,6,8,8

because 2 dots above the 3 means u have 2 threes....and 1 dot above the 4 means there is 1 four..and so on

Consider the function f given by f(x)=x*(e^(-x^2)) for all real numbers x.

NISA [10]

Answer:

$\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You are going to integrate the following function:

$g(x)=x*f(x)=x*xe^{-x^2}=x^2e^{-x^2}$ (1)

furthermore, you know that:

$\int_0^{\infty}e^{-x^2}=\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}$

lets call to this integral, the integral Io.

for a general form of I you have In:

$I_n=\int_0^{\infty}x^ne^{-ax^2}dx$

furthermore you use the fact that:

$I_n=-\frac{\partial I_{n-2}}{\partial a}$

by using this last expression in an iterative way you obtain the following:

$\int_0^{\infty}x^{2s}e^{-ax^2}dx=\frac{(2s-1)!!}{2^{s+1}a^s}\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{a}}$ (2)

with n=2s a even number

for s=1 you have n=2, that is, the function g(x). By using the equation (2) (with a = 1) you finally obtain:

$\int_0^{\infty}x^2e^{-x^2}dx=\frac{(2(1)-1)!}{2^{1+1}(1^1)}\sqrt{\pi}=\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{4}$
