The bakery had seventy - six(6) customers that day

Answer:

76

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Identify given information and create 2 equations.

c = # of customers g = given items

1/5c = g (Equation for doughnuts)

1/12c = g (Equation for cupcakes)

Step 2: Substitute in for given items

1/5c = 8

1/5c = 3

Step 3: Use PEMDAS to find c in each equation.

1/5c = 8

*5 *5

c = 40

1/12c = 3

*12 *12

c = 36

Step 4: add customers from both equations

40 + 36 = 76

The bakery had 76 customers that day.

Hope this helps =)

x = number of hours

want to find probability (P) x >= 13

x is N(14,1) transform to N(0,1) using z = (x - mean) / standard deviation so can look up probability using standard normal probability table.

P(x >= 13) = P( z > (13 - 14)/1) = P(z > -1) = 1 - P(z < -1) = 1 - 0.1587 = 0.8413

To convert that to percentage, multiply 100, to get 84.13%

Enter a recursive rule for the geometric sequence. 6, −18, 54, −162, ...

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The required recursive formula is:

$a_n=(-3)\times a_{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a geometric sequence as:

6,-18,54,-162,.....

Clearly after looking at different terms of the sequence we could observe that the sequence is an geometric progression (G.P.) with common ratio= -3 denoted by r.

Let $a_n$ represents the nth term of the sequence.

This means that:

$a_1=6, a_2=-18, a_3=54, a_4=-162,......$

As the common ratio is -3.

so,

$a_1=6\\\\a_2=-18=(-3)\times a_1\\\\a_3=54=(-3)\times a_2\\\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.a_n=(-3)\times a_{n-1}$

Hence, the required recursive formula for the geometric sequence is:

$a_n=(-3)\times a_{n-1}$

Please show me how to solve the initial value problem <br> y'=tanx y(pi/4)=3

AlexFokin [52]

The ODE is separable, i.e. you can write

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\tan x\iff\mathrm dy=\tan x\,\mathrm dx$

Integrating both sides gives the general solution.

$\displaystyle\int\mathrm dy=\int\tan x\,\mathrm dx$
$y=-\ln|\cos x|+C$

Given that $y\left(\dfrac\pi4\right)=3$ , we have

$3=-\ln\left|\cos\dfrac\pi4\right|+C$
$3=-\ln\dfrac1{\sqrt2}+C$
$3-\ln\sqrt2=C$

and so the particular solution to the IVP is

$y=-\ln|\cos x|+3-\ln\sqrt2$
$y=3-\ln|\sqrt2\cos x|$

Approximately how long is a leg of an isosceles right triangle that has a hypotenuse of length 11.31

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Leg of an isosceles right triangle is 7.99 long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the hypotenuse =11.31

To find:

Length of the leg of an isosceles right triangle =?

Solution:

According to Pythagorean's Theorem, we have

$a^2 +b^2 = c^2$ -----------------------------(1)

Here were are given as isosceles triangle, so the two sides will be of same length

So equation 1 can be rewritten as

$a^2 +a^2 = c^2$

$2a^2 = c^2$

Substituting the value of hypotenuse

$2a^2 = (11.31)^2$

$2a^2 = 127.91$

$a^2 = \frac{127.91}{2}$

$a^2 =63.955$

$a = \sqrt{63.955}$

a = 7.99
