Mr. Smith has an online cooking show. Before he films an episode about baking the perfect pound cake, he prepares his ingredients. His recipe calls for 2 1 /2 cups of sugar for the cake and 1 1/ 4 cups of sugar for the vanilla glaze. How many 1 /4 -cup scoops of sugar does he need? Write your answer as a whole number, fraction, or mixed number. Simplify any fractions.

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

Mr. Smith's recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of sugar for the cake and 1 1/4 cups of sugar for the vanilla glaze.

The total amount of sugar he would need

2 1/2 + 1 1/4

= (2 + 1) + (1/2 + 1/4)

= 3 3/4 cups of sugar.

We need this amount of sugar in 1/4 cup scoops.

This is calculated as:

let x be the number of scoops needed

x * 1/4 = 3 3/4

x* 1/4 = 15/4 ( 3 3/4 = 15/4)

x= 15

Therefore, he would be needing 15 , 1/4 cup scoop of sugar

Solve the inequality and graph the solution<br> 4x-5&gt;7
ohaa [14]

Answer:

x > 3

interval notation: (3, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality statement: 4x - 5 > 7,

The goal is to isolate x and find its solution.

Start by adding 5 to both sides:

4x - 5 + 5 > 7 + 5

4x > 12

Divide both sides by 4:

4x/4 > 12/4

x > 3

The solution can also be expressed in the following interval notation:

(3, ∞).

In terms of graphing, it involves an empty circle on the endpoint, x = 3, as it is not included as a solution. The solution to the given inequality statement must be greater than 3.

The problem is in the picture :)
frozen [14]

Answer:

Last option: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic equation simplified: x^2-4x=-\frac{7}{2} has the form:

ax^2+bx=c

In this case, you can identify that "a", "b" and "c" are:

a=1\\b=-4\\c=-\frac{7}{2}

To solve this quadratic equation  by completing the square, Carlos should add (\frac{b}{2})^2 to both sides of the equation. This is:

(\frac{-4}{2})^2=(-2)^2=4

Then:

x^2-4x+4=-\frac{7}{2}+4

Therefore you can observe that the number he should add to both sides of the equation is: 4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+5x-6=0\\\\a=1\,,\ \ b=5\,,\ \ c=-6\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{5^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-6)}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{25+24}}2=\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{49}}2=\dfrac{-5-7}2=-6\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{5^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-6)}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{-5+7}2=1
