6 1/2 chocolate chips and 5/2 cups of flour how many more cups of chocolate chips use than cups of flours

Mathematics
1 answer:
PIT_PIT [208]2 years ago
8 0

Answer: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of chocolate chips = 6 1/2

Amount of cups of flour = 5/2

The cups of flour should be changes to a mixed fraction and this will be 5/2 = 2 1/2

The question simply means we should find the difference between the fractions given and this will be:

= 6 1/2 - 2 1/2

= 4

Answer:

a) The equation is (y - 1)² = -8 (x - 4)

b) The equation is (x - 1)²/25 + (y - 4)²/16 = 1

c) The equation of the ellipse is (x - 3)²/16 + y²/4 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Lets revise the standard form of the equation of the parabola with a

   horizontal axis

# (y - k)² = 4p (x - h), (h , k) are the coordinates of its vertex and p ≠ 0

- The focus of it is (h + p , k)

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The focus is (2 , 1)

∵ focus is (h + p , k)

∴ h + p = 2 ⇒ subtract p from both sides

∴ h = 2 - p ⇒ (1)

∴ k = 1

∵ It opens left, then the axis is horizontal and p is negative

∴ Its equation is (y - k)² = 4p (x - h)

∵ k = 1

∴ Its equation is (y - 1)² = 4p (x - h)

- The parabola contains point (2 , 5), substitute the coordinates of the

 point in the equation of the parabola

∴ (5 - 1)² = 4p (2 - h)

∴ (4)² = 4p (2 - h)

∴ 16 = 4p (2 - h) ⇒ divide both sides by 4

∴ 4 = p (2 - h) ⇒ (2)

- Use equation (1) to substitute h in equation (2)

∴ 4 = p (2 - [2 - p]) ⇒ open the inside bracket

∴ 4 = p (2 - 2 + p) ⇒ simplify

∴ 4 = p (p)

∴ 4 = p² ⇒ take √ for both sides

∴ p = ± 2, we will chose p = -2 because the parabola opens left

- Substitute the value of p in (1) to find h

∵ h = 2 - p

∵ p = -2

∴ h = 2 - (-2) = 2 + 2 = 4

∴ The equation of the parabola in standard form is

  (y - 1)² = 4(-2) (x - 4)

∴ The equation is (y - 1)² = -8 (x - 4)

b) Lets revise the equation of the ellipse

- The standard form of the equation of an ellipse with  center (h , k)

 and major axis parallel to x-axis is (x - h)²/a² + (y - k)²/b² = 1  

- The coordinates of the vertices are (h ± a , k )  

- The coordinates of the foci are (h ± c , k), where c² = a² - b²  

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ Its vertices are (-4 , 4) and (6 , 4)

∵ The coordinates of the vertices are (h + a , k ) and (h - a , k)  

∴ k = 4

∴ h + a = 6 ⇒ (1)

∴ h - a = -4 ⇒ (2)

- Add (1) and (2) to find h

∴ 2h = 2 ⇒ divide both sides by 2

∴ h = 1

- Substitute the value of h in (1) or (2) to find a

∴ 1 + a = 6 ⇒subtract 1 from both sides

∴ a = 5

∵ The foci at (-2 , 4) and (4 , 4)

∵ The coordinates of the foci are (h + c , k) , (h - c , k)

∴ h + c = 4

∵ h = 1

∴ 1 + c = 4 ⇒ subtract 1 from both sides

∴ c = 3

∵ c² = a² - b²

∴ 3² = 5² - b²

∴ 9 = 25 - b² ⇒ subtract 25 from both sides

∴ -16 = -b² ⇒ multiply both sides by -1

∴ 16 = b²

∵ a² = 25

∵ The equation of the ellipse is (x - h)²/a² + (y - k)²/b² = 1

∴ The equation is (x - 1)²/25 + (y - 4)²/16 = 1

c) How to identify the type of the conic  

- Rewrite the equation in the general form,  

 Ax² + Bxy + Cy² + Dx + Ey + F = 0  

- Identify the values of A and C from the general form.  

- If A and C are nonzero, have the same sign, and are not equal  

 to each other, then the graph is an ellipse.  

- If A and C are equal and nonzero and have the same sign, then

 the graph is a circle  

- If A and C are nonzero and have opposite signs, and are not equal  

 then the graph is a hyperbola.  

- If either A or C is zero, then the graph is a parabola  

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ x² + 4y² - 6x - 7 = 0

∵ The general form of the conic equation is

   Ax² + Bxy + Cy² + Dx + Ey + F = 0  

∴ A = 1 and C = 4

∵ If A and C are nonzero, have the same sign, and are not equal  to

  each other, then the graph is an ellipse.

∵ x² + 4y² - 6x - 7 = 0 ⇒ re-arrange the terms

∴ (x² - 6x ) + 4y² - 7 = 0

- Lets make x² - 6x completing square

∵ 6x ÷ 2 = 3x

∵ 3x = x × 3

- Lets add and subtract 9 to x² - 6x to make the completing square

 x² - 6x + 9 = (x - 3)²

∴ (x² - 6x + 9) - 9 + 4y² - 7 = 0 ⇒ simplify

∴ (x - 3)² + 4y² - 16 = 0 ⇒ add 16 to both sides

∴ (x - 3)² + 4y² = 16 ⇒ divide all terms by 16

∴ (x - 3)²/16 + 4y²/16 = 1 ⇒ simplify

∴ (x - 3)²/16 + y²/4 = 1

∴ The equation of the ellipse is (x - 3)²/16 + y²/4 = 1

The expected number of typographical errors on a page of a certain magazine is .2. What is the probability that an article of 10
Pavel [41]

Answer:

a) The probability that an article of 10 pages contains 0 typographical errors is 0.8187.

b) The probability that an article of 10 pages contains 2 or more typographical errors is 0.0175.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The expected number of typographical errors on a page of a certain magazine is 0.2.

To find : What is the probability that an article of 10 pages contains

(a) 0 and (b) 2 or more typographical errors?

Solution :

Applying Poisson distribution,

N\sim Pois(0.2)

P(N=r)=\frac{e^{-np}(np)^r}{r!}

where, n is the number of words in a page

and p is the probability of every word with typographical errors.

Here, n=10 and E(N)=np=0.2

a) The probability that an article of 10 pages contains 0 typographical errors.

Substitute r=0 in formula,

P(N=0)=\frac{e^{-0.2}(0.2)^0}{0!}

P(N=0)=\frac{e^{-0.2}}{1}

P(N=0)=e^{-0.2}

P(N=0)=0.8187

The probability that an article of 10 pages contains 0 typographical errors is 0.8187.

b) The probability that an article of 10 pages contains 2 or more typographical errors.

Substitute r\geq 2 in formula,

P(N\geq 2)=1-P(N

P(N\geq 2)=1-[P(N=0)+P(N=1)]

P(N\geq 2)=1-[\frac{e^{-0.2}(0.2)^0}{0!}+\frac{e^{-0.2}(0.2)^1}{1!}]

P(N\geq 2)=1-[e^{-0.2}+e^{-0.2}(0.2)]

P(N\geq 2)=1-[0.8187+0.1637]

P(N\geq 2)=1-0.9825

P(N\geq 2)=0.0175

The probability that an article of 10 pages contains 2 or more typographical errors is 0.0175.

Suppose the relationship between x and y is proportional. When x is​ 29, y is 275.5. Find the constant of proportionality of y t
ruslelena [56]
If it’s proportional, then when X is 1, y is 2.6, you get that by dividing 275.5 by 29

so when y is 408.5, x is 156.91

I believe that is correct.
