Answer:

The water she need is 7\frac{7}{8} \ cups. and strawberry syrup 11\frac{13}{16}\ cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Dina wants to make 15 3/4 cups of strawberry drink by mixing water and strawberry syrup with a ratio of 2 1/4 cup of water for every 3/4 cup of syrup.

Now, to find the quantity of water and syrup she need to use.

As given in question ratio so:

Strawberry syrup = 2 1/4 = 9/4.

Water = 3/4.

Total cups of strawberry drink = 15 3/4 = 63/4.

Let the strawberry syrup be \frac{9}{4} x.

And let the water be \frac{3}{4} x.

According to question:

\frac{9x}{4} + \frac{3x}{4}=\frac{63}{4}.

<em>On adding the fractions:</em>

⇒\frac{9x+3x}{4} =\frac{63}{4}

⇒\frac{12x}{4} =\frac{63}{4}

<em>Multiplying both sides by 4 we get:</em>

⇒12x=63

<em>Dividing both sides by 12 we get:</em>

⇒x=\frac{63}{12}

<em>Dividing numerator and denominator by 3 on R.H.S we get:</em>

⇒x=\frac{21}{4}

Now, putting the value of x on ratios:

Strawberry syrup =  \frac{9}{4}\times x=\frac{9}{4}\times\frac{21}{4}

                             =  \frac{189}{16}

                             =  11\frac{13}{16}\ cups  

Water = \frac{3}{4}\times x =\frac{3}{4} \times\frac{21}{4}

          = \frac{63}{8}

          = 7\frac{7}{8} \ cups.

Therefore, the water she need is 7\frac{7}{8} \ cups. and strawberry syrup 11\frac{13}{16}\ cups.

what is consecutive whole numbers? I have to write an algebraic expression for the sum of three consecutive whole numbers... :(
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Consecutive whole numbers (or integers) are numbers that directly follow one another.

Eg: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are consecutive whole numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Three consecutive even integers can be represented by x, x+2, x+4. The sum is 3x+6, which is equal to 108.

or

let the three consecutive whole numbers is x, x+1,and x+2

x + x+1 + x+2 = 4+2(x+1)

3x+3=4+2x+2

3x-2x=6-3

x=3

the other two numbers are 3+1=4,and 3+2=5

so the three numbers are 3,4 and 5

<u>Hello:</u>

<u />

<u>Okay, this problem should be taken in a series of steps</u>:

<u>What is the slope's formula?</u>

  \rm\hookrightarrow  \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

  • (x₁,y₁) -- first point
  • (x₂,y₂) -- second point

<u>Okay, now let's use this knowledge</u>  

10. (5,-19) and (-5,21)

       Slope = \frac{21--19}{-5-5} =\frac{40}{-10}=-4

11. (12,1) and (12, -1)

      Slope = \frac{-1-1}{12-12} =\frac{-2}{0}

12. (8,7) and (4,7)

     Slope = \frac{7-7}{4-7} =0

<u>Answer:</u>

  • Question 10: -4
  • Question 11: undefined
  • Question 12: 0

Hopefully that helps!

If P(x)= 3x^4 - 5x^3 - 17x^2 + 13x + 6, and P(1)=0, and P(-2)=0, then the factorization of P(x) is?
liberstina [14]

Answer:

P(x) = (x - 1)(x + 2)(x - 3)(3x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since P(1) = 0 and P(- 2) = 0, then

(x - 1) and (x + 2) are factors of P(x)

(x - 1)(x + 2) = x² + x - 2 ← is also a factor of P(x)

dividing 3x^{4} - 5x³ - 17x² + 13x + 6 by x² + x - 2 gives

P(x) = (x - 1)(x + 2)(3x² - 8x - 3) = (x - 1)(x + 2)(x - 3)(3x + 1)
