Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Order of operations and distributive property. So parenthesis first beginning from the inside out. So - (-5) is equal to 5 (negative times a negative is a positive) then -12 + 5 = -7

Mary used 2.5 pounds of ground beef witch made 25 tocos. Peter wants to use the same recipe but with 1 pound of ground beef. How

Archy [21]

Answer: 10

Step-by-step explanation:

These types of questions involve ratios. So 2.5: 25 is equal to 25 : 250 and all i did was multiply both sides by 10. Then it says that he only has 1 pound of ground beef so 25* 1/25 is equal to one, and then 250 * 1/25 is equal to 10.

The number of bacteria in a refrigerated food product is given by N ( T ) = 27 T 2 − 180 T + 100 N(T)=27T2-180T+100, 7 < T &l

NeX [460]

Answer:

$N(T(t))=432t^2-374.4t-118.88$

The number of Bactria after 5.8 hours is 12242.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of bacteria in a refrigerated food product is given by

$N(T)=27T^2-180T+100$

where, T is the temperature of the food.

When the food is removed from the refrigerator, then the temperature is given by

$T(t)=4t+1.6$

We need to find the composite function N(T(t)).

$N(T(t))=N(4t+1.6)$

$N(T(t))=27(4t+1.6)^2-180(4t+1.6)+100$

$N(T(t))=432t^2+345.6t+69.12-720t-288+100$

$N(T(t))=432t^2-374.4t-118.88$

where N(T(t)) is the number of bacteria after t hours.

Substitute t=5.8 in the above function.

$N(T(5.8))=432(5.8)^2-374.4(5.8)-118.88$

$N(T(5.8))=14532.48-2290.4$

$N(T(5.8))=12242.08$

$N(T(5.8))\approx 12242$

Therefore, the number of Bactria after 5.8 hours is 12242.

Creating and solving formulas for geometric series:mastery test

Levart [38]

Answer:

D. $y = 5\cdot \Sigma_{i=0}^{4} \left(\frac{1}{3} \right)^{i}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be $y = \Sigma_{i = 0}^{4} \left[5\cdot \left(\frac{1}{3} \right)^{i}\right]$ . To find the equivalent expression we must use the following property:

$y = c\cdot \Sigma_{i = 0}^{n} p(x) = \Sigma_{i=0}^{n} [c\cdot p(x)]$ (1)

Based on this fact, we find the following equivalence:

$y = 5\cdot \Sigma_{i=0}^{4} \left(\frac{1}{3} \right)^{i}$

Hence, the correct answer is D.

Tell whether x and y show direct variation.Explain your reasoning.If so, find k #3

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

x and y do not show direct variation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for direct variation is

y = kx Divide each side by y

k = y/x

k should have the same value for every point except, of course, (0,0)

For the first point,

k = 2/(-1) = -2

For the third point,

k = 2/1 = 2

The values of k are different, so x and y <em>do not</em> show direct variation.
