Answer:

Let x be the total number of cupcakes.

Chocolate chips =

$\frac{2}{3} x$

Strawberry =

$\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{3} \\ = \frac{1}{12} x$

Vanilla =

$x - \frac{2}{3} x - \frac{1}{12}x \\ = \frac{1}{3} x - \frac{1}{12} x \\ = \frac{1}{4} x$

given

$\frac{1}{4} x = 90$

$x = 90 \div \frac{1}{4} \\ = 90 \times 4 \\ = 360$

a)Number of Chocolate chip Cupcakes =

$\frac{2}{3} \times 360 \\ = 240$

b)Number of Strawberry cupcakes =

$\frac{1}{12} \times 360 \\ = 30$

Which exponential equation is equivalent to the logarithmic equation below? c = ln 2

Sophie [7]

$\text{A logarithmic lemma: } \\ \text{It follows that: } \log_a a = 1$
$\text{Following this property, we can see that: } a^{\log_{a} a} = a$
$\text{Furthermore, we can create more general properties: } a^{\log_a b} = b$

$c = \log_e 2 \Rightarrow e^{c} = e^{\log_e 2} \\ \text{Using our third property, we see that: } e^{c} = 2$
$\text{And finally, this works for any } \log_{a} b \left\{a > 0, b \in \mathbb{R}\right\}$

Please help with the question above :)!!! ^^

(-1,-9) because if we substituted 1 into x y would be 9 and if we substituted 1/2 into x y would be 3 but if we substituted -1 into x y would be 1/9 so therefore that value is incorrect

Peter uses unit cubes to build a figure in the shape of the letter X what is the fewest unit cubes that Peter can use to build t

lozanna [386]

I am not sure I am right but I think it depends on the size of the X.

Which ordered pair satisfies the system of equations for 3x-y=8 and x+y=2? A.) (3,-1) B.) (2.5,0.5) C.) (2.5,-0.5)(5,-3)

raketka [301]

Answer:

3x - y = 8

y = 3x - 8

y = 3*2.5 - 8 = -0.5 --> (2.5, -0.5)

y = 3*5 - 8 = 7 --> (5, 7)

Answer C is correct.

To prove :One plus cot square theta into tan theta by sec square theta = cot theta

pickupchik [31]

we are given

$\frac{(1+cot^2(\theta))*tan(\theta)}{sec^2(\theta)} =cot(\theta)$

We will simplify left side and make it equal to right side

Left side:

$\frac{(1+cot^2(\theta))*tan(\theta)}{sec^2(\theta)}$

we can use trigonometric identity

$1+cot^2(\theta)=csc^2(\theta)$

we can replace it

$\frac{(csc^2(\theta))*tan(\theta)}{sec^2(\theta)}$

we know that

csc=1/sin and sec=1/cos

so, we can replace it

and we get

$\frac{cos^2(\theta)tan(\theta)}{sin^2(\theta)}$

now, we know that

tan =sin/cos

$\frac{cos^2(\theta)*sin(\theta)}{sin^2(\theta)*cos(\theta)}$

we can simplify it

and we get

$\frac{cos(\theta)}{sin(\theta)}$

we can also write it as

$=cot(\theta)$

Right Side:

$cot(\theta)$

we can see that

left side = right side

so,

$\frac{(1+cot^2(\theta))*tan(\theta)}{sec^2(\theta)} =cot(\theta)$ ......Answer
