The right answer is Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

2/5 cup of coconut shavings covers 1/4 of a cake,

$\frac{2}{5}\ coconut\ shavings=\frac{1}{4}\ of\ cake$

For one whole cake, we will multiply both sides with 4;

$4*\frac{2}{5}=\frac{1}{4}*4\\\frac{8}{5} = 1\ cake$

Writing in simplified fraction form;

$1\ cake = 1\frac{3}{5}\ cups$

The right answer is Option C.

1. Try It # 1 A company sells doughnuts. They incur a fixed cost of $25,000 for rent, insurance, and other expenses. It costs $0

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The y-intercept is 25000 . The intercept is the fixed cost of the doughnut selling company.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, it is given that the fixed cost is $25000 and the expense to produce each doughnut is $0.25.

It is required to find and identify the y intercept.

To do so, use the equation derived in previous part of the exercise to interpret the slope. Compare the equation with standard equation of the line.

Step 1 of 1

The total cost of the company is the sum of fixed cost and the expenses for the doughnut, C=0.25x+25000.

Compare the equation with general linear equation y=mx+c.

The y-intercept is 25000 .

The intercept is the fixed cost of the doughnut selling company.

Determine formula of the nth term 2, 6, 12 20 30,42

nalin [4]

Check the forward differences of the sequence.

If $\{a_n\} = \{2,6,12,20,30,42,\ldots\}$ , then let $\{b_n\}$ be the sequence of first-order differences of $\{a_n\}$ . That is, for n ≥ 1,

$b_n = a_{n+1} - a_n$

so that $\{b_n\} = \{4, 6, 8, 10, 12, \ldots\}$ .

Let $\{c_n\}$ be the sequence of differences of $\{b_n\}$ ,

$c_n = b_{n+1} - b_n$

and we see that this is a constant sequence, $\{c_n\} = \{2, 2, 2, 2, \ldots\}$ . In other words, $\{b_n\}$ is an arithmetic sequence with common difference between terms of 2. That is,

$2 = b_{n+1} - b_n \implies b_{n+1} = b_n + 2$

and we can solve for $b_n$ in terms of $b_1=4$ :

$b_{n+1} = b_n + 2$

$b_{n+1} = (b_{n-1}+2) + 2 = b_{n-1} + 2\times2$

$b_{n+1} = (b_{n-2}+2) + 2\times2 = b_{n-2} + 3\times2$

and so on down to

$b_{n+1} = b_1 + 2n \implies b_{n+1} = 2n + 4 \implies b_n = 2(n-1)+4 = 2(n + 1)$

We solve for $a_n$ in the same way.

$2(n+1) = a_{n+1} - a_n \implies a_{n+1} = a_n + 2(n + 1)$

Then

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-1} + 2n) + 2(n+1) \\ ~~~~~~~= a_{n-1} + 2 ((n+1) + n)$

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-2} + 2(n-1)) + 2((n+1)+n) \\ ~~~~~~~ = a_{n-2} + 2 ((n+1) + n + (n-1))$

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-3} + 2(n-2)) + 2((n+1)+n+(n-1)) \\ ~~~~~~~= a_{n-3} + 2 ((n+1) + n + (n-1) + (n-2))$

and so on down to

$a_{n+1} = a_1 + 2 \displaystyle \sum_{k=2}^{n+1} k = 2 + 2 \times \frac{n(n+3)}2$

$\implies a_{n+1} = n^2 + 3n + 2 \implies \boxed{a_n = n^2 + n}$

The slope is the number next to the variable and the y intercept is the number after the slope.

#1. Slope= -3
Y-intercept=-3

#2. Slope=5/2
Y-intercept=-4

#3. Slope=1/3
Y-intercept=3

#4. Slope=-2
Y-intercept=2

#5. Slope=-2/5
Y-intercept=-2

#6. Slope=-2/3
Y-intercept=-2
