It would be 1/2 times 1/3 to get 1/6 cups of butter.

Answer:

a) 1/6 cup

Step-by-step explanation:

A bread recipe calls for 1/3 cup of butter. If you only want to make 1/2 of a batch you would need to use one half of the ingredients used in the original recipe.

So, if you originally need 1/3 cup of butter, you'd need to use half of it.

We are going to solve it like this:

$\frac{\frac{1}{3} }{2} = \frac{\frac{1}{3} }{\frac{2}{1} } = \frac{1}{6}$

Thus, you'd need 1/6 cup of butter to make 1/2 of a batch.

Leonardo wrote an equation that has an infinite number of solutions. One of the terms in Leonardo's equation is missing, as show

Tanya [424]

Answer:

The missing term is 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

-(x - 1) + 5 = 2(x + 3) - _

Required

Find _

For proper identification of the parameters, represent _ with Z

So, the equation becomes

-(x - 1) + 5 = 2(x + 3) - Z

Open bracket (start from the left hand side)

-x + 1 + 5 = 2(x + 3) - Z

-x + 1 + 5 = 2x + 6 - Z

Solve like terms

-x + 6 = 2x + 6 - Z

Subtract 6 from both sides

-x + 6 - 6 = 2x + 6 - 6 - Z

-x = 2x - Z

Subtract 2x from both sides

-x - 2x = 2x - 2x - Z

-3x = -Z

Multiply both sides by -1

-3x * -1 = -Z * -1

3x = Z

Reorder

Z = 3x

Hence, the missing term is 3x

Find the domain of the function f(x)=<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7Bx%5E3-16x%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="\sqrt{x^3

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

$f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{x^3-16x}$

We know that the domain of the function is the set of input or arguments for which the function is real and defined.

In other words,

Domain refers to all the possible sets of input values on the x-axis.

Now, determine non-negative values for radicals so that we can sort out the domain values for which the function can be defined.

$x^3-16x\ge 0$

as x³ - 16x ≥ 0

$\left(x+4\right)\left(x-4\right)\ge \:0$

Thus, identifying the intervals:

$-4\le \:x\le \:0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x\ge \:4$

Thus,

The domain of the function f(x) is:

$x\left(x+4\right)\left(x-4\right)\ge \:0\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:-4\le \:x\le \:0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x\ge \:4\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:\left[-4,\:0\right]\cup \:[4,\:\infty \:)\end{bmatrix}$

And the Least Value of the domain is -4.
