What number divided by -4 =64?

In a toy store, the ratio of the number of dolls to the number of teddy bears is . If the store has 240 dolls, how many teddy

forsale [732]

Answer:

So, the way a ratio works is "for every 1 of this, we have 4 of this" for example. (the ratio I just described would be 1:4.)

I believe I've seen this question before. If the ratio of dolls to teddy bears is 9:3 then for every 9 dolls you have 3 teddy bears.

So, since we have 240 dolls and a 9:3 ratio to teddy bears, all we have to do is take how many dolls we have (240) and divide it by 3 to see how many teddy bears we have.

So:

240 ÷ 3 = 80

If your ratio is 9:3, then 80 is your answer.

Hope this helps and have a nice day!

Please I need some help

For the first question, all you need to know is that the (amount you want) divided by (the amount of cards total) is the probability of getting the amount you want at random. for example, if there are 3 red marbles in a bag of ten marbles, you divide 3 by 10 (0.30) the probability of picking up a red marble is 30%. try adding up how many cards you want to pick up by the number of cards total.

Use Newton's method with initial approximation x1 = −2 to find x2, the second approximation to the root of the equation x3 + x +

nevsk [136]

Answer:

$x_2 \approx -1.769$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $f(x)=x^3+x+7$

So $f'(x)=3x^2+1$

$x_{n+1}=x_n-\frac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)}$

Let $x_1=-2$

We are going to find $x_2$

So we are evaluating $-2-\frac{f(-2)}{f'(-2)}$

First step find f(-2)

Second step find f'(-2)

Third step plug in those values and apply PEMDAS!

$f(-2)=(-2)^3+(-2)+7=-8-2+7=-10+7=-3$

$f'(-2)=3(-2)^2+1=3(4)+1=12+1=13$

So

$x_2=-2-\frac{-3}{13} \\\\ x_2=\frac{-26+3}{13} \\\\ x_2=\frac{-23}{13} \\\\ x_2 \approx -1.769$

Complete question:

A police car is located 50 feet to the side of a straight road. A red car is driving along the road in the direction of the police car and is 130 feet up the road from the location of the police car. The police radar reads that the distance between the police car and the red car is decreasing at a rate of 75 feet per second. How fast is the red car actually traveling along the road.

Answer:

The red car is traveling along the road at 80.356 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Police car is 50 feet side off the road

Red car is 130 feet up the road

Distance between them is decreasing at the rate of 75 feet per sec

Let x be how far the police is off the road.

Let y be how far the red car is up the road.

Let h be the distance between the police and the red car.

This forms a right triangle so we can use the Pythagorean theorem, to solve for h

h² = x² + y²

h² = 50² + 130²

h² = 19400

h = √19400

h = 139.284 ft

Again;

Let dx/dt be how fast the police is traveling toward the road.

Let dy/dt be how fast the red car is traveling along the road.

Let dh/dt be how fast the distance between the police and the car is decreasing.

Recall that, h² = x² + y² (now differentiate with respect to time, t)

2h(dh/dt) = 2x(dx/dt) + 2y(dy/dt)

divide through by 2

h(dh/dt) = x(dx/dt) + y(dy/dt)

since the police car is not, dx/dt = 0

and dy/dt is the how fast is the red car actually traveling along the road

139.284(75) = 50(0) + 130(dy/dt)

10446.3 = 0 + 130(dy/dt)

dy/dt = 10446.3 / 130

dy/dt = 80.356 ft/s

Therefore, the red car is traveling along the road at 80.356 ft/s
