A) 5/12 cup more

you have to convert the fractions so they have the same denominator. 0.75 is 9/12 and 1/3 is 4/12. Subtract and you get 5/12

Jane wishes to bake an apple pie for dessert. The baking instructions say that she should bake the pie in an oven at a constant

Answer:

A=152

K= -Ln(0.5)/14

Step-by-step explanation:

You can obtain two equations with the given information:

T(14 minutes) = 114◦C

T(28 minutes)=152◦C

Therefore, you have to replace t=14, T=114 and t=28, T=152 in the given equation:

$114=190-Ae^{-14k} (I) \\152=190-Ae^{-28k}(II)$

Applying the following property of exponentials numbers in (II):

$e^{a}.e^{b}=e^{a+b}$

Therefore $e^{-28k}$ can be written as $e^{-14k}.e^{-14k}$

$152=190-Ae^{-14k}.e^{14k}$

Replacing (I) in the previous equation:

$152=190-76e^{-14k}$

Solving for k:

Subtracting 190 both sides, dividing by -76:

$0.5=e^{-14k}$

Applying the base e logarithm both sides:

Ln(0.5)= -14k

Dividing by -14:

k= -Ln(0.5)/14

Replacing k in (I) and solving for A:

$Ae^{-14(-Ln(0.5)/14)}=76\\Ae^{Ln(0.5)} =76\\A(0.5)=76$

Dividing by 0.5

A=152

Which expression represents the inverse of the function f(x)=4x

Anton [14]

Answer:

$f^{-1}$ (x) = $\frac{x}{4\\}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y = f(x) and rearrange making x the subject

y = 4x ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = $\frac{y}{4}$

Change y back into terms of x

$f^{-1}$ (x) = $\frac{x}{4\\}$

Solve for x. 26x2–9x=0

Lilit [14]

Answer:

x=0;x= $\frac{9}{26}$

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming you meant 26x^2-9x=0:

$26x^{2} -9x=0\\x(26x-9)=0\\x=0;x=\frac{9}{26}$
