a cake using eggs and potatoes in the ratio of 2 to 5 if he uses sex as how many potatoes will he need

Mathematics

When eggs = 2, then potatoes = 5

Eggs: 2
Potatoes: 5

When that is changed to 6 eggs, 2 needs to be multiplied by a number to get 6.

2 * what = 6      or      6/2=

you get the number 3. A fraction is equivalent to a ratio. So if you have 2*3=6 then you need to multiply 5*3 to get the amount of potatoes you need. the answer is 15 potatoes because 5*3=15.

What is the area of one of the small trapezoids? show your work and explain your reasoning.
lys-0071 [83]
The area of a trapezoid is found using the formula, A = ½ (a + b) h, where 'a' and 'b' are the bases (parallel sides) and 'h' is the height (the perpendicular distance between the bases) of the trapezoid.

Use differentiation rules to find the values of a and b that make the function f(x) = ( x 2 if x ≤ 2, ax3 + bx if x > 2 diffe
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The values of a and b are  a=\frac{1}{4} and b = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets explain how to solve the equation</em>

  f(x) =  {x²                x  ≤ 2

            {ax³ + bx     x > 2  

* We need to find the values of a , b that make the function

 differentiable at x = 2

- <em>At first for f(x) to be continuous at x = 2, substitute x by two in the</em>

<em>  the two expressions and equate them</em>

∵ f(x) = x² at x ≤ 2 and f(x) = ax³ + bx at x > 2

∴ f(2) = (2)² = 4 ⇒ (1)

∴ f(2) = a(2)³ + b(2)

∴ f(2) = 8a + 2b ⇒ (2)

- Equate (1) and (2)

∴ 8a + 2b = 4 ⇒ (3)

* <em>For f(x) to be differentiable when x = 2, the function must be </em>

<em>  continuous when x = 2 and the one-sided derivatives must be </em>

<em>  equal when x = 2</em>

# <u>Remember</u>: If f(x)=ax^{b} , then f'(x)=abx^{b-1}

 If f(x)=ax , then f'(x)=a

 If f(x)=a , then f'(x)=0

∵ f(x) = x²

∴ f'(x) = 2x

- Substitute x by 2

∴ f'(2) = 2(2) = 4

∴ f'(2) = 4 ⇒ (4)

∵ f(x) = ax³ + bx

∴ f'(x) = 3ax² + b

- substitute x by 2

∴ f'(2) = 3a(2)² + b

∴ f'(2) = 12a + b ⇒ (5)

- Equate (4) and (5)

∴ 12a + b = 4 ⇒ (6)

* Now we have system of equations

 8a + 2b = 4 ⇒ (3)

 12a + b = 4 ⇒ (6)

- Multiply equation (6) by -2 to eliminate b

∴ -24 a - 2b = -8 ⇒ (7)

- Add equations (3) and (7)

∴ -16a = -4

- Divide both sides by -16

∴ a = \frac{1}{4}

- substitute the value of a in equation (6)

∴ 12(\frac{1}{4})+b=4

∴ 3 + b = 4

- Subtract 3 from both sides

∴ b = 1

* The values of a and b are  a=\frac{1}{4} and b = 1

-3(y+3)=2y+3 what does y equal?
netineya [11]

[ Answer ]

Y = -12 / 5

[ Explanation ]


Expand:

-3y - 9 = 2y + 3


Add 9 to both sides:

-3y - 9 + 9 = 2y + 3 - 9


Simplify:

-3y = 2y + 12


Subtract 2y from both sides:

-3y - 2y = 2y + 12 - 2y


Simplify:

-5y = 12


Divide both sides by -5:

-5y / -5 = 12 / -5


Simplify:

Y = -12 / 5

ankoles [38]

Answer:

3.5b - 40 where b is the amount of banners sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the team has already spent $40, and they earn #3.5 per banner.

Hence, with b representing the amount of banners sold, the equation is 3.5b - 40
