Answer:

  k = 2/15

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve the given equation for k:

  k = s/p . . . . . . divide the given equation by p on both sides

Using the first values from the table (15 pounds, 2 scoops), we have ...

  k = 2/15

The value of k is 2/15.

Consider the following theorem. Theorem If f is integrable on [a, b], then b a f(x) dx = lim n→[infinity] n i = 1 f(xi)Δx where
mel-nik [20]

Split up the interval [1, 9] into <em>n</em> subintervals of equal length (9 - 1)/<em>n</em> = 8/<em>n</em> :

[1, 1 + 8/<em>n</em>], [1 + 8/<em>n</em>, 1 + 16/<em>n</em>], [1 + 16/<em>n</em>, 1 + 24/<em>n</em>], …, [1 + 8 (<em>n</em> - 1)/<em>n</em>, 9]

It should be clear that the left endpoint of each subinterval make up an arithmetic sequence, so that the <em>i</em>-th subinterval has left endpoint

1 + 8/<em>n</em> (<em>i</em> - 1)

Then we approximate the definite integral by the sum of the areas of <em>n</em> rectangles with length 8/<em>n</em> and height f(x_i) :

\displaystyle \int_1^9 (x^2-4x+6) \,\mathrm dx \approx \sum_{i=1}^n \frac8n\left(\left(1+\frac8n(i-1)\right)^2-4\left(1+\frac8n(i-1)\right)+6\right)

Take the limit as <em>n</em> approaches infinity and the approximation becomes exact. So we have

\displaystyle \int_1^9 (x^2-4x+6) \,\mathrm dx = \lim_{n\to\infty} \sum_{i=1}^n \frac8n\left(\left(1+\frac8n(i-1)\right)^2-4\left(1+\frac8n(i-1)\right)+6\right) \\\\ = \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac8n \sum_{i=1}^n \left(1+\frac{16}n(i-1)+\frac{64}{n^2}(i-1)^2-4-\frac{32}n(i-1)+6\right) \\\\= \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac8{n^3} \sum_{i=1}^n \left(64(i-1)^2-16n(i-1)+3n^2\right) \\\\= \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac8{n^3} \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} \left(64i^2-16ni+3n^2\right) \\\\= \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac8{n^3} \left(64\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}i^2 - 16n\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}i + 3n^2\sum{i=0}^{n-1}1\right) \\\\= \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac8{n^3} \left(\frac{64(2n-1)n(n-1)}{6} - \frac{16n^2(n-1)}{2} + 3n^3\right) \\\\= \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac8{n^3} \left(\frac{49n^3}3-24n^2+\frac{32n}3\right) \\\\= \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{8\left(49n^2-72n+32\right)}{3n^2} = \boxed{\frac{392}3}

In an ice cream shop there is some money in a drawer. After 6 ice creams were sold, there were 70 euros left in the drawer. Afte
Verizon [17]

Answer: There were 40 euros in the drawer at the beginning.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we subtract 6 from 16, we get 10 more ice-creams were sold.

Similarly, we subtract 70 from 120, we get 50 euros was the total selling price of 10 ice-creams.

i.e. Selling price of 1 ice-cream = (50)÷10 =5 euros

Selling price of 6 ice-creams = 6 x 5 = 30 euros

Money in the drawer at the beginning = 70-30 = 40 euros

Hence, there were 40 euros in the drawer at the beginning.
