Answer:

We need to multiply the percentage as a decimal (0.30) with the amount of chocolate (50 g):

0.30*50 = 15 g

There are 15 grams of cocoa in the chocolate bar.

Max bought 4 liters of fruit punch for a party.he will serve the punch in glasses that will hold 200 milliliters.how many full g

ss7ja [257]

Hello!
.
1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliter.
So,
4 L = 4000 mL
.
Max bought 4 liter or 4000 mL of fruit punch. To know how many glasses full of fruit punch can he serve, you just need to divide the amount of fruit punch he bought by the amount of fruit punch a glass can hold.
4 L / 200 mL
The dividend and the divisor have different unit so we must make them have the same unit.
4000 mL / 200 mL
= 20
.
Therefore, Max can make 20 full glasses of fruit punch for the party.

The curve with equation y2 = x3 + 3x2 is called the tschirnhausen cubic. find an equation of the tangent line to this curve at t

MAVERICK [17]

First find the slope, take derivative of both sides with respect to x.
2y dy/dx=3x^2+6x
solve for dy/dx
dy/dx=[3x^2+6x]/2y
plug in given vales of (1,2(
dy/dx=9/4

now you have everything you need to plug into point slope form
y-2=(9/4)(x-1)
answer is y=(9/4)x+(1/4)

Use a proof by contradiction to show that the square root of 3 is national You may use the following fact: For any integer kirke

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

1. Let us proof that √3 is an irrational number, using <em>reductio ad absurdum</em>. Assume that $\sqrt{3}=\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are non negative integers, and the fraction $\frac{m}{n}$ is irreducible, i.e., the numbers $m$ and $n$ have no common factors.

Now, squaring the equality at the beginning we get that

$3=\frac{m^2}{n^2}$ (1)

which is equivalent to $3n^2=m^2$ . From this we can deduce that 3 divides the number $m^2$ , and necessarily 3 must divide $m$ . Thus, $m=3p$ , where $p$ is a non negative integer.

Substituting $m=3p$ into (1), we get

$3= \frac{9p^2}{n^2}$

which is equivalent to

$n^2=3p^2$ .

Thus, 3 divides $n^2$ and necessarily 3 must divide $n$ . Hence, $n=3q$ where $q$ is a non negative integer.

Notice that

$\frac{m}{n} = \frac{3p}{3q} = \frac{p}{q}$ .

The above equality means that the fraction $\frac{m}{n}$ is reducible, what contradicts our initial assumption. So, $\sqrt{3}$ is irrational.

2. Let us prove now that the multiplication of an integer and a rational number is a rational number. So, $r\in\mathbb{Q}$ , which is equivalent to say that $r=\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are non negative integers. Also, assume that $k\in\mathbb{Z}$ . So, we want to prove that $k\cdot r\in\mathbb{Z}$ . Recall that an integer $k$ can be written as

$k=\frac{k}{1}$ .

Then,

$k\cdot r = \frac{k}{1}\frac{m}{n} = \frac{mk}{n}$ .

Notice that the product $mk$ is an integer. Thus, the fraction $\frac{mk}{n}$ is a rational number. Therefore, $k\cdot r\in\mathbb{Q}$ .

3. Let us prove by <em>reductio ad absurdum</em> that the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is an irrational number. So, we have $x$ is irrational and $p\in\mathbb{Q}$ .

Write $q=x+p$ and let us suppose that $q$ is a rational number. So, we get that

$x=q-p$ .

But the subtraction or addition of two rational numbers is rational too. Then, the number $x$ must be rational too, which is a clear contradiction with our hypothesis. Therefore, $x+p$ is irrational.
