$\large \mathfrak{Solution : }$

Common difference of an Arithmetic progression can be found out by subtracting the preceding term from that given term.

i.e

$common \: \: difference = 4 - 8$
$common \: \: difference = - 4$

therefore, the common difference of the above Arithmetic progression is -4 .

A chocolate manufacturing company produces two types of chocolate: A and B. Ingredients required for manufacturing the products

Karolina [17]

Answer:

The maximum profit is when they make 10 units of A and 2 units of B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x is units of milk

Let y units of cacao

Given that :

The company's production plant has a total of 22 units of milk and 46 units of cacao available.

2x + y ≤ 22 (2 unit of milk for each of A and 1 for B; 22 units available)

4x + 3y ≤46 (4 unit of milk for each of A and 3 for B; 46 units available

Graph the constraint equations and find the point of intersection to determine the feasibility region.

The intersection point (algebraically, or from the graph) is (10, 2)

The objective function for the problem is the total profit, which is $6.2 per unit for A and $4.2 per unit for B: 6.2x + 4.2y.

Hence, we substitute (10, 2) into the above function:

6.2*10 + 4.2*2 = 70.4

The maximum profit is when they make 10 units of A and 2 units of B.

Express each logarithm in terms of In 2 and In 5.

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

$5ln2-3ln5$

$2ln5-ln2$

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ $32=2^{5}$

∵ $125=5^{3}$

∵ $ln\frac{32}{125}=ln\frac{2^{5}}{5^{3}}$

∴ $ln2^{5}-ln5^{3}=5ln2-3ln5$

∵ $12.5=\frac{125}{10}=\frac{25}{2}=\frac{5^{2}}{2}$

∴ $ln12.5=ln\frac{5^{2}}{2}$

∴ $ln5^{2}-ln2=2ln5-ln2$
