Answer:

Cups of chopped celery in original recipe = \frac{3}{4}\ cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Trevor is making 2/3 of a recipe

Number of cups of chopped celery used = 1/2 cup

The following equation can be used to find the original number of cups of chopped celery used in recipe.

\frac{2}{3}c=\frac{1}{2}

Multiplying both sides by 3/2

\frac{3}{2}*\frac{2}{3}c=\frac{1}{2}*\frac{3}{2}\\\\c= \frac{3}{4}\\

Hence,

Cups of chopped celery in original recipe = \frac{3}{4}\ cups

Answer:

g(-4) = -1

g(-1) = -1

g(1) = 3

Explanation:

If you are given a function that is defined by a system of equations associated with certain intervals of x, just find which interval makes x true, and then substitute x into the equation of that interval.

For example, given g(-4), this is an expression which is asking for the value of the equation when x = -4. So -4 is not ≥ 2, so ¼x - 1 will not be used. -4 is also not ≤ -1 and ≤ 2, so -(x - 1)² + 3 will not be used either. So in turn, we will just use -1 which is always -1 so g(-4) will just be -1, right because there is no x variable in -1 so it will always be the same.

Using the same idea as before g(-1) is g(x) when x = -1 so -1 will not be a solution because -1 is not less than -1 (< -1). -1 is not ≥ 2 either so we will be using the second equation because -1 is part of the interval -1≤x≤2 (it is a solution to this inequality), therefore -(x - 1)² + 3 will be used.

As x = -1, -(x - 1)² + 3 = -(-1 - 1)² + 3 = -(-2)² + 3 = -4 + 3 = -1.

It is a coincidence that g(-1) = -1.

Now for g(1), where g(x) has an input of 1 or the value of the function where x = 1, we will not use the first equation because x = 1 → x < -1 → 1 < -1 [this is false because 1 is never less than -1], so we will not use -1.

We will use -(x - 1)² + 3 again because 1 is not ≥ 2, 1≥2 [this is also false]. And -1 ≤ 1 < 2 [This is a true statement]. Therefore g(1) = -(1 - 1)² + 3 = -(0)² + 3 = 3

Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The roots are:</u>

  • 3, 3, 2 - 3i, 2 + 3i (conjugate of 2 - 3i should be added) and the leading coefficient is - 5

<u>The polynomial is:</u>

  • -5(x - 3)² (x - [2 - 3i]) (x - [2 + 3i]) =
  • - 5(x² - 6x + 9) (x² - 4x + 13) =
  • -5(x⁴ - 10x³ + 46x² - 114x + 117) =
  • -5x⁴ + 50x³ - 230x² + 570x - 585

at a golf course, a worker placed 216 golf balls equally into 9 buckets. what is the ratio of golf balls to buckets?
ankoles [38]
The ratio is 216:9, which can be simplified to 72:3, which can be simplified to 34:1. This can also be written as a fraction (34/1). It means there are 34 golf balls for every one bucket.
