16. Suppose Eva has 12 3/4 pounds of flour. The day's baking will require triple that amount.

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

$12 \frac{3}{4} \times3$

In order to find the answer, we have to convert the mixed number and then multiply by three, since how Eva needs triple the amount for today's baking.

$12 \frac{3}{4} \times3$
$12\frac{3}{4} =4\times12=48+3=51=\frac{51}{4}$
$3=\frac{3}{1}$
$\frac{51}{4} \times\frac{3}{1}$
$51\times3=153$
$4\times1=4$
$=\frac{153}{4}$

<u>Convert the improper fraction back into a mixed number:</u>

$\frac{153}{4}$
$\frac{153}{4} =153\div4=38\frac{1}{4}$
$=38\frac{1}{4}$

Which means Eva needs "38 1/4 pounds of flour" or option D for today's baking.

The Schuller family has five members. Dad is 6ft 2in tall. Mom is 3 inches shorter than Dad, but 2 inches taller than Ivan. Marc

ohaa [14]

Answer:

62 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the height ( in inches ) of Ivan,

∵ Marcia is 5 inches shorter than Ivan,

height of Marcia = x - 5,

Marcia is twice as tall as Sally-Jo,

height of sally-jo = $\frac{x-5}{2}$

Mom is 2 inches taller than Ivan.

⇒ height of mom = x + 2,

Mom is 3 inches shorter than Dad,

height of dad = x + 2 + 3 = x + 5,

So, mean height of family is,

$\frac{x+x-5+\frac{x-5}{2}+x+2+x+5}{5}$

$=\frac{2x+2x-10+x-5+2x+4+2x+10}{10}$

$=\frac{9x-1}{10}$

According to the question,

x + 5 = 74 ( 1 ft = 12 in )

x = 69

Hence, mean height of the family = $\frac{9\times 69-1}{10}$

$=\frac{620}{10}$

= 62 inches

Where does the normal line to the parabola y = x − x2 at the point (1, 0) intersect the parabola a second time?

Ksivusya [100]

Find the line that is normal to the parabola at the given point
remember that normal means perpendicular
perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1
we can use point slope form to write the equation of the line since we are given the point (1,0)

we just need the slope

take derivitive
y'=1-2x
at x=1
y'=1-2(1)
y'=1-2
y'=-1

the slope is -1
the perpendicular of that slope is what number we can multiply to get -1
-1 times what=-1?
what=1
duh
so
point (1,0) and slope 1
y-0=1(x-1)
y=x-1 is da equation

solve for where y=x-1 and y=x-x² intersect

set equatl to each other since equal y
x-1=x-x²
x²-1=0
factor difference of 2 perfect squares
(x-1)(x+1)=0
set to zero

x-1=0
x=1
we got this point already

x+1=0
x=-1
sub back
y=-1-(-1)²
y=-1-(1)
y=-1-1
y=-2

it intersects at (-1,-2)

What is -2 sqrt 50 - sqrt 125 in simplest radical form

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

- 10√2 - 5√5

Step-by-step explanation:

- 2√50

√50 = √( 2 x 5 x 5 ) = 5√2

- 2√50

= - 2 x 5√2

= - 10√2

- √125

= - √( 5 x 5 x 5 )

= - 5√5

- 2√50 - √125

= - 10√2 - 5√5
