Nadia is ordering cheesecake at a restaurant, and the server tells her that she can have up to five toppings: caramel, whipped c

ream, butterscotch sauce, strawberries, and hot fudge. Since she cannot decide how many of the toppings she wants, she tells the server to surprise her. If the server randomly chooses which toppings to add, what is the probability that Nadia gets just caramel, butterscotch sauce, strawberries, and hot fudge

Answer:

The probability that Nadia gets just caramel, butterscotch sauce, strawberries, and hot fudge is P =  1/32 = 0.03125

Step-by-step explanation:

There are up to 5 toppings, such that the toppings are:

caramel

whipped cream

butterscotch sauce

strawberries

hot fudge

We want to find the probability that,  If the server randomly chooses which toppings to add, she gets just caramel, butterscotch sauce, strawberries, and hot fudge.

First, we need to find the total number of possible combinations.

let's separate them in number of toppings.

0 toppins:

Here is one combination.

1 topping:

here we have one topping and 5 options, so there are 5 different combinations of 1 topping.

2 toppings.

Assuming that each topping can be used only once, for the first topping we have 5 options.

And for the second topping we have 4 options (because one is already used)

The total number of combinations is equal to the product between the number of options for each topping, so here we have:

c = 4*5 = 20 combinations.

But we are counting the permutations, which is equal to n! (where n is the number of toppings, in this case is n = 2), this means that we are differentiating in the case where the first topping is caramel and the second is whipped cream, and the case where the first topping is whipped cream and the second is caramel, to avoid this, we should divide by the number of permutations.

Then the number of different combinations is:

c' = 20/2! = 10

3 toppings.

similarly to the previous case.

for the first topping there are 5 options

for the second there are 4 options

for the third there are 3 options

the total number of different combinations is:

c' = (5*4*3)/(3!) = (5*4*3)/(3*2) = 10

4 toppings:

We can think of this as "the topping that we do not use", so there are only 5 possible toppings to not use, then there are 5 different combinations with 4 toppings.

5 toppings:

Similar to the first case, here is only one combination with 5 toppings.

So the total number of different combinations is:

C = 1 + 5 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 = 32

There are 32 different combinations.

And we want to find the probability of getting one particular combination (all of them have the same probability)

Then the probability is the quotient between one and the total number of different combinations.

p = 1/32

The probability that Nadia gets just caramel, butterscotch sauce, strawberries, and hot fudge is P =  1/32 = 0.03125

Question 8
lord [1]

Answer: (9, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start with what makes a function even. A function is even if the graph of it is symmetric about the y-axis. What is really means is that if you were to fold your graph paper where the crease is on the y-axis, the graph should be the same on each side.

Now since g is an even function, it's correct for us to assume that it is symmetric about the y-axis. What this means is that we expect to find a value at the same point, except on the right side (because our coordinate is negative).

Our coordinate is (-9, -2). If we were to plot it, we'd see it would be in the 3rd quadrant, or the bottom left one. To be symmetrical on the right side, we know there is a point with the same coords in the 4th quadrant. To be on the right, our x coordinate would be positive, and our y coordinate will stay the same.

Answer:

A whole number first term to render as fifth term a value larger than 10000, should be at least 121

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is given as recursive since it involves the previous number of the sequence, and defined as:

a_n=a_{n-1}*3+6

we also know that the first term is 4

Then in this case, the first five terms are:

a_1=4\\a_2=4*3+6=18\\a_3=18*3+6=60\\a_4=60*3+6=186\\a_5=186*3+6=564\\

So if we want to find the first term in the case that the fifth one is greater than 10,000 using this recursive formula, now we have to start backwards, and say that the fifth term is "> 10000" and what the fourth one is.

Notice that if you have this definition for the nth term, we can obtain from it, what the previous term is to find the general rule:

a_n=a_{n-1}*3+6\\a_n-6=a_{n-1}*3\\\frac{a_n-6}{3} = a_{n-1}\\a_{n-1}=\frac{a_n}{3} -2

So the rule is to subtract 6 from he term, and divide the subtraction by 3. Then working backwards:

a_5>10000\\\frac{a_5}{3} -2>\frac{10000}{3} -2\\a_4>=\frac{10000}{3} -2\\\frac{a_4}{3} -2>\frac{\frac{10000}{3}-2}{3}-2 =\frac{10000}{9}-\frac{8}{3} \\a_3>\frac{10000}{9}-\frac{8}{3} \\\frac{a_3}{3} -2>\frac{\frac{10000}{9}-\frac{8}{3} }{3} -2=\frac{10000}{27} -\frac{8}{9} -2=\frac{10000}{27} -\frac{26}{9}\\a_2=\frac{10000}{27} -\frac{26}{9}\\\frac{a_2}{3} -2>\frac{\frac{10000}{27} -\frac{26}{9}}{3} -2=\frac{10000}{81} -\frac{80}{27} \\a_1>\frac{10000}{81} -\frac{80}{27}\approx 120.49

therefore, the starting first term should be at least about 121 to give a fifth term larger than 10,000

Answer:

  • The center (2, 2.5), radius \sqrt{37} / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The standard form of the equation of a circle is: </u>

  • ( x - h )^2 + ( y - k )^2 = r^2, where ( h, k ) is the center and r is the radius

<u>Rewrite the given equation in the standard form:</u>

  • 2x^2 + 2y^2 - 8x + 10y + 2 = 0
  • x^2 - 4x + y^2 + 5y = -1
  • x^2 - 4x + 2^2 + y^2 + 5y + (5/2)^2 = -1 + 4 + 25/4
  • (x - 2)^2 + (y + 2.5)^2 = 37/4

<u>The center is:</u>

  • (2, 2.5)

<u>And radius is:</u>

  • <u />\sqrt{37} / 2
