cassidy loves black and yellow jelly beans she noticed when she was counting them that she had 7 less than three times as many b
Dmitriy789 [7]
Most of the information's are already given in the question. It is important to understand the language of the problem for solving the problem. Once the language is understood, then solving the problem is easy.
Let us assume the number of black jelly beans = x
Number of yellow jelly beans = y
Then from the question we can get to a equation.
3x - 7 = y
We also know from the question that
x + y = 225
x + 3x -7 = 225
4x = 225 + 7
4x = 232
x = 232/4
   = 58
So Cassidy has 58 black jelly beans out of the total of 225 jelly beans

Consider functions of the form f(x)=a^x for various values of a. In particular, choose a sequence of values of a that converges
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

A. As "a"⇒e, the function f(x)=aˣ tends to be its derivative.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. To show the stretched relation between the fact that "a"⇒e and the derivatives of the function, let´s differentiate f(x) without a value for "a" (leaving it as a constant):

f(x)=a^{x}\\ f'(x)=a^xln(a)

The process will help us to understand what is happening, at first we rewrite the function:

f(x)=a^x\\ f(x)=e^{ln(a^x)}\\ f(x)=e^{xln(a)}\\

And then, we use the chain rule to differentiate:

f'(x)=e^{xln(a)}ln(a)\\ f'(x)=a^xln(a)

Notice the only difference between f(x) and its derivative is the new factor ln(a). But we know  that ln(e)=1, this tell us that as "a"⇒e, ln(a)⇒1 (because ln(x) is a continuous function in (0,∞) ) and as a consequence f'(x)⇒f(x).

In the graph that is attached it´s shown that the functions follows this inequality (the segmented lines are the derivatives):

if a<e<b, then aˣln(a) < aˣ < eˣ < bˣ < bˣln(b)  (and below we explain why this happen)

Considering that ln(a) is a growing function and ln(e)=1, we have:

if a<e<b, then ln(a)< 1 <ln(b)

if a<e, then aˣln(a)<aˣ

if e<b, then bˣ<bˣln(b)

And because eˣ is defined to be the same as its derivative, the cases above results in the following

if a<e<b, then aˣ < eˣ < bˣ (because this function is also a growing function as "a" and "b" gets closer to e)

if a<e, then aˣln(a)<aˣ<eˣ ( f'(x)<f(x) )

if e<b, then eˣ<bˣ<bˣln(b) ( f(x)<f'(x) )

but as "a"⇒e, the difference between f(x) and f'(x) begin to decrease until it gets zero (when a=e)

Assume there are 365 days in a year.
Dahasolnce [82]
The chance of student 1's birthday being individual is 365/365 or 100%.
Then the chance of student 2's birthday being different is 364/365.
Then it's narrowed down to 363/365 for student 3 and so on until you get all 10 students.
If you multiply all these values together, the probability would come out at around 0.88305182223 or 0.88.

To get all the same birthday you'd have to the chance of one birthday, 1/365 and multiply this by itself 10 times. This will produce a very tiny number. In standard form this would be 2.3827x10'-26 or in normal terms: 0.23827109210000000000000000, so very small.
