Answer:

Krutika gets 27 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> number of sweets that Caroline gets

y ---> number of sweets that Krutika gets

z ---> number of sweets that Natasha gets

we know that

$x:y:z=4:3:3$

so

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{4}{3}$

$x=\frac{4}{3}y$ ----> equation A

$\frac{x}{z}=\frac{4}{3}$

$x=\frac{4}{3}z$ ----> equation B

$y=z$ ---> equation C

Caroline gets 9 more sweets than Natasha

so

$x=z+9$ ---> equation D

substitute equation D in equation B

$z+9=\frac{4}{3}z$

solve for z

$\frac{4}{3}z-z=9$

$\frac{1}{3}z=9\\z=27\ sweets$

therefore

Krutika gets 27 sweets

Hey there!

Yes, I do remember the Parametric Function test(s) but there were multiple tests. Could you add some pictures for some of the problems? I'd be glad to help.

Consider the system of differential equations dxdt=−4ydydt=−4x. Convert this system to a second order differential equation in y

koban [17]

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=-4x\implies x=-\dfrac14\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}=-\dfrac14\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dt^2}$

Substituting this into the other ODE gives

$-\dfrac14\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dt^2}=-4y\implies y''-16y=0$

Since $x(t)=-\dfrac14y'(t)$ , it follows that $x(0)=-\dfrac14y'(0)=4\implies y'(0)=-16$ . The ODE in $y$ has characteristic equation

$r^2-16=0$

with roots $r=\pm4$ , admitting the characteristic solution

$y_c=C_1e^{4t}+C_2e^{-4t}$

From the initial conditions we get

$y(0)=5\implies 5=C_1+C_2$

$y'(0)=16\implies-16=4C_1-4C_2$

$\implies C_1=\dfrac12,C_2=\dfrac92$

So we have

$\boxed{y(t)=\dfrac12e^{4t}+\dfrac92e^{-4t}}$

Take the derivative and multiply it by -1/4 to get the solution for $x(t)$ :

$-\dfrac14y'(t)=\boxed{x(t)=-\dfrac12e^{4t}+\dfrac92e^{-4t}}$

The points plotted below are on the graph of a polynomial. In what range of x-values must the polynomial have a root?

joja [24]

Actually, I think the question should be, "In what range(s) of x-values must there be a root of the POLYNOMIAL?" Unless you are working with some real strange maths, polynomials are smooth and continuous. If you drew a smooth and continuous line through the points in the graph, where would the line have to cross the x-axis?
