it takes 2 1/2 cups of sugar to make 4 dozen sugar cookies. How much sugar is needed to make 120 sugar cookies

Mathematics

Answer:

6.25 cups of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make a proportion expression:

2.5/48 = x/120

Let x be the amount of sugar needed to make 120 sugar cookies.

Cross multiply:

120*2.5=48x

48x=300

x=6.25

So, you would need 6 1/4 cups or 6.25 cups of sugar to make 120 sugar cookies.

If r and s are positive integers, is \small \frac{r}{s} an integer? (1) Every factor of s is also a factor of r. (2) Every prime
Yuri [45]

Answer:

<em>If statement(1) holds true, it is correct that </em>\small \frac{r}{s}<em> is an integer.</em>

<em>If statement(2) holds true, it is not necessarily correct that </em>\small \frac{r}{s}<em> is an integer.</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two positive integers r and s.

To check whether \small \frac{r}{s} is an integer:

Condition (1):

Every factor of s is also a factor of r.

r \geq s

Let us consider an example:

s = 5^2 \cdot 2\\r = 5^3 \cdot 2^2

\dfrac{r}{s} = \dfrac{5^3\cdot2^2}{5^2\cdot2} = 10

which is an integer.

Actually, in this situation s is a factor of r.

Condition 2:

Every prime factor of <em>s</em> is also a prime factor of <em>r</em>.

(But the powers of prime factors need not be equal as we are not given the conditions related to powers of prime factors.)

Let

r = 2^2\cdot 5\\s =2^4\cdot 5

\dfrac{r}{s} = \dfrac{2^3\cdot5}{2^4\cdot5} = \dfrac{1}{2}

which is not an integer.

So, the answer is:

<em>If statement(1) holds true, it is correct that </em>\small \frac{r}{s}<em> is an integer.</em>

<em>If statement(2) holds true, it is not necessarily correct that </em>\small \frac{r}{s}<em> is an integer.</em>

the vertices of ABC are points A(1,1), B(4,1), and C(4,5). find the cosines of the angles of the triangle.
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

  • cos(A) = 3/5
  • cos(B) = 0
  • cos(C) = 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relation between the cosine of an angle and the sides of the triangle.

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

__

<h3>Angle A</h3>

In the given triangle, the hypotenuse is AC. The side adjacent to angle A is AB, so its cosine is ...

  cos(A) = AB/AC

  cos(A) = 3/5

__

<h3>Angle B</h3>

The right angle in the triangle is angle B. The cosine of a right angle is 0.

  cos(B) = 0

__

<h3>Angle C</h3>

The side adjacent to angle C is CB, so its cosine is ...

  cos(C) = CB/AC

  cos(C) = 4/5

Which value is NOT a solution of 8x3 – 1 = 0?
Tpy6a [65]

<u><em>Note: As you may have unintentionally missed to add the value choices. But, I would make sure to explain the concept so that you may improve your understanding in terms of solving these type of questions.</em></u>

Answer:

Any value other than the values x=\frac{1}{2},\:x=-\frac{1}{4}+i\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4},\:x=-\frac{1}{4}-i\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} will not be a solution of 8x^3\:-\:1\:=\:0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the equation

8x^3\:-\:1\:=\:0

Steps to solve the equation

8x^3-1=0

\mathrm{Add\:}1\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}

8x^3-1+1=0+1

\mathrm{Simplify}

x^3=\frac{1}{8}

\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}8

\frac{8x^3}{8}=\frac{1}{8}

\mathrm{Simplify}

x^3=\frac{1}{8}

As

\mathrm{For\:}x^3=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}x=\sqrt[3]{f\left(a\right)},\:\sqrt[3]{f\left(a\right)}\frac{-1-\sqrt{3}i}{2},\:\sqrt[3]{f\left(a\right)}\frac{-1+\sqrt{3}i}{2}

x=\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{8}},\:x=\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{8}}\frac{-1+\sqrt{3}i}{2},\:x=\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{8}}\frac{-1-\sqrt{3}i}{2}

So,

x=\frac{1}{2},\:x=-\frac{1}{4}+i\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4},\:x=-\frac{1}{4}-i\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}

Therefore,

Any value other than the values x=\frac{1}{2},\:x=-\frac{1}{4}+i\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4},\:x=-\frac{1}{4}-i\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} will not be a solution of 8x^3\:-\:1\:=\:0.

[SCREENSHOT INCLUDED] Which of the following is the best estimate of f '(2) based on this table of values?
mel-nik [20]

Using derivatives, it is found that the best estimate of f '(2) based on this table of values is of 10.

The rate of change <u>from x = 0 to x = 2</u> is given by:

r_1 = \frac{2 - (-16)}{2 - 0} = \frac{18}{2} = 9

From <u>x = 2 to x = 4</u>, it is given by:

r_2 = \frac{24 - 2}{4 - 2} = \frac{22}{2} = 11

The average of these rates is:

A = \frac{r_1 + r_2}{2} = \frac{9 + 11}{2} = 10

Hence, the best estimate of f '(2) based on this table of values is of 10.
