Answer:

6:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Bubble algae cells can grow up to 5 cm in diameter. Calculate the surface area : volume ratio of this cell.

The algae is spherical in nature

Volume of the algae =4/3 pi r³

Volume of the algae = 4/3×pi×2.5³

Volume of the algae = 62.5/3 pi

Surface area = 4pi r²

Surface area = 4pi ×2.5²

Surface area = 25pi

Taking their ratio

surface area : volume ratio

= 25pi:62.5/3 pi

= 25 × 3/62.5

= 1.2

Hence the required ratio is 12/10 which is 6:5

This is a question of proportions:

First we can work out how many feet it goes up for each feet he steps back:

5.5/6 ft per each feet he steps back.

Now we can multiply this by the amount of ft back the cliff is:

(5.5/6)*30 = 27.5 ft

Thus the cliff is 27.5 ft tall,

Hope this helps :)

Determine whether the following series converge or diverge

Mars2501 [29]

An alternating series $\sum\limits_n(-1)^na_n$ converges if $|(-1)^na_n|=|a_n|$ is monotonic and $a_n\to0$ as $n\to\infty$ . Here $a_n=\dfrac1{\ln(n+1)}$ .

Let $f(x)=\ln(x+1)$ . Then $f'(x)=\dfrac1{x+1}$ , which is positive for all $x>-1$ , so $\ln(x+1)$ is monotonically increasing for $x>-1$ . This would mean $\dfrac1{\ln(x+1)}$ must be a monotonically decreasing sequence over the same interval, and so must $a_n$ .

Because $a_n$ is monotonically increasing, but will still always be positive, it follows that $a_n\to0$ as $n\to\infty$ .

So, $\sum\limits_n(-1)^na_n$ converges.

Khianna wants to make a batch of her Grandma chocolate chip cookies from a friend. The recipe is shown on the recipe card below

romanna [79]

Poor <span>Khianna. Let's help her out.

For the original recipe she needs </span> $1 \frac 1 2 = \frac 3 2$ cups of brown sugar but only has $1 \frac 1 8 = \frac 9 8 .$ So the fraction of the brown sugar she has is

$\dfrac{ \frac{9}{8} }{\frac 3 2} = \frac 9 8 \times \frac 2 3 = \frac 3 4$

She has to scale everything by a factor of $\frac 3 4$

I won't multiply everything by 3/4 for you. 2 cups butter becomes 1 and a half cups butter, 1 tsp vanilla becomes 3/4 tsp, etc.
