You make one pitcher of iced tea and one pitcher of lemonade for a party. Just before the party starts, you catch a little misch

ievous child mixing the two beverages. The child says that only one cup of the iced tea was taken and put in the lemonade. Then, the child took only one cup of the lemonade-tea mixture that was just created and put it back into the pitcher of iced tea, hoping that no one would notice what had been done. Is there now more lemonade in the iced tea or more iced tea in the lemonade?

Answer:

  Each pitcher has the same fraction of the other drink.

Step-by-step explanation:

After 1 cup of tea is added to x cups of lemonade, the mix has the ratio 1:x of tea to lemonade. So, the fraction of mix that is tea is 1/(x+1).

The 1 cup of mix contains 1/(x+1) cups of tea and so x/(x+1) cups of lemonade. When that amount of lemonade is added to the tea, it brings the proportion of lemonade in the tea to (x/(x+1))/x = 1/(x+1), the same proportion as that of tea in the lemonade.

_____

You can consider the degenerate case of one cup of drink in each pitcher. Then when the 1 cup of tea is removed from its pitcher and added to the lemonade, you have a 50-50 mix of tea and lemonade. Removing 1 cup of that mix and putting it back in the tea pitcher makes there be a 50-50 mix in both pitchers.

Increasing the quantity in each pitcher does nothing to change the fact that the mixes end up in the same ratio:

  tea:lemonade in Pitcher 1 = lemonade:tea in Pitcher 2

Identify the conic whose equation is given.
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Hyperbola  

Step-by-step explanation:

The polar equation of a conic section with directrix ± d  has the standard form:

r=ed/(1 ± ecosθ)

where e = the eccentricity.

The eccentricity determines the type of conic section:

e = 0       ⇒ circle

0 < e < 1  ⇒ ellipse

e = 1        ⇒ parabola

e > 1        ⇒ hyperbola

Step 1. <em>Convert the equation to standard form </em>

r = 4/(2 – 4 cosθ)

Divide numerator and denominator by 2

r = 2/(1 - 2cosθ)

Step 2. <em>Identify the conic </em>

e = 2, so the conic is a hyperbola.

The polar plot of the function (below) confirms that the conic is a hyperbola.

-37= n/23<br> what is n?
Vlada [557]
-37 = <u>n
</u>       23
<u>
</u>to solve for n, undo what is happening to the n. if the n is being divided by 23 to get -37, then multiply both sides by 23 to figure out what n is. 
<u>
</u>-37 * 23 = <u>n * 23 
</u>                   23
<u>
</u>-851 = n
