A) To cook 1/2 cup of rice, the package tells you that you also need 1 cup of water. The the total volume of ingredients is
.. 1/2 c + 1 c = 1 1/2 c
b) According to the package the ratio of water to rice is
.. water : rice = 1 : 1/2 = 2 : 1
Then the ratio of water to total ingredients is
.. water : (water + rice) = 2 : (2 +1) = 2 : 3
Susan's ratio is incorrect. Susan is using "1" for the total of ingredients, instead of 2+1 = 3. The correct ratio is 2:3.
For this case, we must indicate which of the given functions is not defined for
By definition, we know that:
has a domain from 0 to infinity.
Adding or removing numbers to the variable within the root implies a translation of the function vertically or horizontally. For it to be defined, the term within the root must be positive.
Thus, we observe that:
is not defined, the term inside the root is negative when
.
While
if it is defined for 
, your domain is given by all real numbers.
Adding or removing numbers to the variable within the root implies a translation of the function vertically or horizontally. In the same way, its domain will be given by the real numbers, independently of the sign of the term inside the root.
So, we have:
with x = 0:
is defined.
with x = 0:
in the same way is defined.
Answer:

Option b
B because it's not putting the blame on anyone. It is completely unbiased and objective.
