Garcia's Grill offers 77 side dishes, 55 types of steak, and 88 toppings. How many different smothered steak dinners can be made

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Therefore the total number of ways that the customer can order the smothered steak dinner is 9800.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 7 side dishes, and types of stake and 8 toppings.

The customer will have a smothered steak dinner.

The smothered steak dinner will consist of steak and 3 different toppings and 4 $\binom{8}{3} = \frac{8!}{3! \times 5!} = 56$ different side dishes.

The number of ways steak can be selected is = $\binom{5}{1} = \frac{5!}{1! 4!} =5$

The number of ways toppings can be chosen is = $\binom{8}{3} = \frac{8!}{3! 5!} = 56$

The number of ways side dishes can be chosen = $\binom{7}{4} = \frac{7!}{4!3!} = 35.$

Therefore the total number of ways that the customer can order the smothered steak dinner is

= 5 × 56 × 35 = 9800.

What are the coordinates of the vertex for f(x) = 2x2 + 4x + 9?

Vlada [557]

Your equation $f(x)=2x^2+4x+9$ is in the form $y=ax^2+bx+c$
The vertex only relies on "a" and "b" though, so that +9 doesn't really matter in this case. The vertex of a parabola is located where
$x=\frac{-b}{2a}=\frac{-4}{2(2)}=-1$
So your x-coordinate is -1. You need to find f(-1) to find your y-coordinate, and then you list it in the form (-1, y).

out of 200 houses in a neighborhood, 30 of them have their own lawn service. what percent of the houses do not have their own la

stira [4]

Answer:

85%

Step-by-step explanation:

If 30 of them have their own lawn service then that means 170 of them do not have their own lawn service.

Seeing as there are 200 houses in total, the fraction of people who don't have lawn service is 170/200. This is equal to 0.85 or 85%.

Tacoma's population in 2000 was about 200 thousand, and had been growing by about 9% each year. a. Write a recursive formula for

KIM [24]

Answer:

a) The recurrence formula is $P_n = \frac{109}{100}P_{n-1}$ .

b) The general formula for the population of Tacoma is

$P_n = \left(\frac{109}{100}\right)^nP_{0}$ .

c) In 2016 the approximate population of Tacoma will be 794062 people.

d) The population of Tacoma should exceed the 400000 people by the year 2009.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We have the population in the year 2000, which is 200 000 people. Let us write $P_0 = 200 000$ . For the population in 2001 we will use $P_1$ , for the population in 2002 we will use $P_2$ , and so on.

In the following year, 2001, the population grow 9% with respect to the previous year. This means that $P_0$ is equal to $P_1$ plus 9% of the population of 2000. Notice that this can be written as

$P_1 = P_0 + (9/100)*P_0 = \left(1-\frac{9}{100}\right)P_0 = \frac{109}{100}P_0$ .

In 2002, we will have the population of 2001, $P_1$ , plus the 9% of $P_1$ . This is

$P_2 = P_1 + (9/100)*P_1 = \left(1-\frac{9}{100}\right)P_1 = \frac{109}{100}P_1$ .

So, it is not difficult to notice that the general recurrence is

$P_n = \frac{109}{100}P_{n-1}$ .

b) In the previous formula we only need to substitute the expression for $P_{n-1}$ :

$P_{n-1} = \frac{109}{100}P_{n-2}$ .

Then,

$P_n = \left(\frac{109}{100}\right)^2P_{n-2}$ .

Repeating the procedure for $P_{n-3}$ we get

$P_n = \left(\frac{109}{100}\right)^3P_{n-3}$ .

But we can do the same operation n times, so

$P_n = \left(\frac{109}{100}\right)^nP_{0}$ .

c) Recall the notation we have used:

$P_{0}$ for 2000, $P_{1}$ for 2001, $P_{2}$ for 2002, and so on. Then, 2016 is $P_{16}$ . So, in order to obtain the approximate population of Tacoma in 2016 is

$P_{16} = \left(\frac{109}{100}\right)^{16}P_{0} = (1.09)^{16}P_0 = 3.97\cdot 200000 \approx 794062$

d) In this case we want to know when $P_n>400000$ , which is equivalent to

$(1.09)^{n}P_0>400000$ .

Substituting the value of $P_0$ , we get

$(1.09)^{n}200000>400000$ .

Simplifying the expression:

$(1.09)^{n}>2$ .

So, we need to find the value of $n$ such that the above inequality holds.

The easiest way to do this is take logarithm in both hands. Then,

$n\ln(1.09)>\ln 2$ .

So, $n>\frac{\ln 2}{\ln(1.09)} = 8.04323172693$ .

So, the population of Tacoma should exceed the 400 000 by the year 2009.

Find the area of the irregular shape. Round to the nearest tenth.

svp [43]

Given:
Irregular Shape:
Semi-circle and rectangle:

Area of a rectangle = l * w
Area of a semi-circle = (π r²)/2

Area of rectangle = 8 cm * 5 cm = 40cm²
Area of a semi-circle = (3.14 (4²))/2 = (3.14*16)/2 = 50.24/2 = 25.12cm²
4² is taken from diameter of 8cm divided by 2 to get the radius.

Total area = 40 cm² + 25.12 cm² = 65.12 cm²
