Answer

1.56

Step-by-step explanation:

You must find the unit rate. To do so, you must divide 3.90 by 15. That will give you 0.26. After, times 6 and .26 to get your answer. Hope this helps.

Find the following equation

adoni [48]

Answer:

$y=\frac{-1}{2}x+7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form: $y=mx+b$ when $m$ is the slope of the line and $b$ is the y-intercept (the y-coordinate of the point the line crosses the y-axis)

<u>1) Find the slope (</u> $m$ <u>)</u>

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ when the points are $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$

We can use any two points that the table gives us to plug into this equation. For example, we can use the points (14,0) and (0,7):

$m=\frac{0-7}{14-0}\\m=\frac{-7}{14}$

Simplify the fraction

$m=\frac{-1}{2}$

So far, our equation looks like this:

$y=\frac{-1}{2}x+b$

<u>2) Find the y-intercept (</u> $b$ <u>)</u>

The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point the line crosses the y-axis, or in other words, it's the value of y when x is equal to 0.

Looking at the table, we can see that y is equal to 7 when x is equal to 0, so, therefore, $b=7$ .

Now, this is our final equation after plugging in $m$ and $b$ :

$y=\frac{-1}{2}x+7$

I hope this helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$S_{10}=\dfrac{2a_1+d(10-1)}{2}\cdot 10\\\\\dfrac{2a_1+9d}{2}\cdot 10=-60\\\\\dfrac{2a_1+9d}{2}=-6\\\\2a_1+9d=-12\\\\2a_1=-12-9d\\\\\\S_{15}=\dfrac{2a_1+d(15-1)}{2}\cdot 15\\\\\dfrac{2a_1+14d}{2}\cdot 15=-165\\\\\dfrac{2a_1+14d}{2}=-11\\\\2a_1+14d=-22\\\\-12-9d+14d=-22\\\\ 5d=-10 \\\\ d=-2\\\\\\2a_1=-12-9(-2)=-12+18=6\\\\a_1=3\\\\\\ a_{18}=a_1+17d=3+17(-2)=3-34=-31$

A croissant shop has plain croissants, cherry croissants, chocolate croissants, almond croissants, apple croissants, and broccol

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

A. 6 188

B. 749 398

C. 6 188

D. 52 975

E. 20 349

F. 11 316

Explanation:

(a) The shop has 6 types of croissants of which a dozen(12) has to be selected

Therefore n=6, r=12

Repetition of croissants is permitted

And C(n+r-1, r)

C(6+12-1, 12) = C(17, 12) = 17!÷ 12!(17-12)! = 17!÷12! 5! =6 188

(b) The shop has 6 types of croissants of which three dozen(36) has to be selected

Therefore n=6, r=36

Repetition of croissants is permitted

And C(n+r-1, r)

C(6+36-1, 12) = C(41, 36) = 41!÷ 36!(41-36)! = 41!÷36! 5! = 749 398

Let us first select 2 of each kind which 12 croissants in total. Then we still need to select the remaining 12 croissants

Therefore n=6, r=12

Repetition of croissants is permitted

And C(n+r-1, r)

C(6+12-1, 12) = C(17, 12) = 17!÷ 12!(17-12)! = 17!÷12! 5! =6 188

(d) The shop has 5 types of croissants of which two dozen(24) has to be selected

Therefore n=5, r=24

Repetition of croissants is permitted

And C(n+r-1, r)

C(5+24-1, 24) = C(28, 24) = 28!÷ 24!(28-24)! = 28!÷24! 4! = 20 475
