mary purchased 3 1/2 pounds of bananas. If the loaf of banana bread requires 3/4 pounds of bananas, how many loaves of banana bread can she make with the bananas.

Answers

for this one a simple way that you can think of it is that 1 pound of banana is equivalent to 100, 3/4 pounds of banana is 75, 1/2 pounds of banana is 50, etc. 

3 1/2 pounds of banana = 350 

3/4 pounds of banana = 75 

If i want to find out how many loafs of banana bread I can make if ONE loaf requires 3/4 pounds of banana, and i have 3 1/2 pounds of banana then I divide:

350 / 75 = 4.66 

So, with 3 1/2 pounds of bananas you can successfully create 4 loafs of banana bread. the remaining .66 is not enough banana to make another loaf.

A rectangle is drawn with perimeter 75 cm. The length is 13 more than the width. What is the length?

Answers

The length of the rectangle is 25.25.

The perimeter of the rectangle is 75 cm, then the length of the rectangle will be equal to 25.25 cm.

What is the perimeter?

A shape's perimeter is the whole distance encircling it. It is the perimeter or length of the contour of any geometric two-dimensional shape. The circumference of several figures could be comparable based on the measurements.

As per the information provided by the question,

The perimeter of the rectangle = 75 cm

Let the width of the rectangle is w.

Then, length (l) is 13 more than,

l = w + 13   (i)

As per the formula of the perimeter of a rectangle,

[tex]P=2(l+w)[/tex]

75 = 2(w + 13 + w)

75 = 4w + 26

4w = 49

w = 12.25 cm

Substitute w = 12.25 cm in equation (i)

l = 12.25 + 13

l = 25.25 cm.

What is the radical form of each of the given expressions? 4 1/7 AND 4 7/2 AND 7 1/4 AND 7 1/2 I WILL UPVOTE

Answers

assuming these are 4^(1/7), 4^(7/2), 7^(1/4) and 7^(1/2), the conversion process is pretty quick. the denominator, or bottom, of your fraction exponent becomes the "index" of your radical -- in ∛, "3" is your index, just for reference. the numerator, aka the top of the fraction exponent, becomes a power inside the radical.

4^(1/7) would become ⁷√4  .... the bottom of the fraction becomes the small number included in the radical and the 4 goes beneath the radical
in cases such as this one, where 1 is on top of the fraction radical, that number does technically go with the 4 beneath the radical--however, 4¹ = 4 itself, so there is no need to write the implied exponent.

4^(7/2) would become √(4⁷)  ... the 7th power goes with the number under your radical and the "2" becomes a square root

7^(1/4) would become ⁴√7  ... like the first answer, the bottom of the fraction exponent becomes the index of the radical and 7 goes beneath the radical. again, the 1 exponent goes with the 7 beneath the radical, but 7¹ = 7

7^(1/2) would become, simply, √7

5x^2 + 25x - 70

Answers


Equation at the end of step  1  : (5x2 - 25x) - 70 = 0 Step  2  :Step  3  :Pulling out like terms :

 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   5x2 - 25x - 70  =   5 • (x2 - 5x - 14) 

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

 3.2     Factoring  x2 - 5x - 14 

The first term is,  x2  its coefficient is  1 .
The middle term is,  -5x  its coefficient is  -5 .
The last term, "the constant", is  -14 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • -14 = -14 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -14  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -5 .

     -14   +   1   =   -13     -7   +   2   =   -5   That's it


Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -7  and  2 
                     x2 - 7x + 2x - 14

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
                    x • (x-7)
              Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
                    2 • (x-7)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
                    (x+2)  •  (x-7)
             Which is the desired factorization

Equation at the end of step  3  : 5 • (x + 2) • (x - 7) = 0 Step  4  :Theory - Roots of a product :

 4.1    A product of several terms equals zero. 

 When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero. 

 We shall now solve each term = 0 separately 

 In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product 

 Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.

Equations which are never true :

 4.2      Solve :    5   =  0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.3      Solve  :    x+2 = 0 

 Subtract  2  from both sides of the equation : 
                      x = -2 

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.4      Solve  :    x-7 = 0 

 Add  7  to both sides of the equation : 
                      x = 7 

Supplement : Solving Quadratic Equation DirectlySolving  x2-5x-14  = 0 directly

Earlier we factored this polynomial by splitting the middle term. let us now solve the equation by Completing The Square and by using the Quadratic Formula

Parabola, Finding the Vertex :

 5.1      Find the Vertex of   y = x2-5x-14

Parabolas have a highest or a lowest point called the Vertex .   Our parabola opens up and accordingly has a lowest point (AKA absolute minimum) .   We know this even before plotting  "y"  because the coefficient of the first term, 1 , is positive (greater than zero). 

 Each parabola has a vertical line of symmetry that passes through its vertex. Because of this symmetry, the line of symmetry would, for example, pass through the midpoint of the two  x -intercepts (roots or solutions) of the parabola. That is, if the parabola has indeed two real solutions. 

 Parabolas can model many real life situations, such as the height above ground, of an object thrown upward, after some period of time. The vertex of the parabola can provide us with information, such as the maximum height that object, thrown upwards, can reach. For this reason we want to be able to find the coordinates of the vertex. 

 For any parabola,Ax2+Bx+C,the  x -coordinate of the vertex is given by  -B/(2A) . In our case the  x  coordinate is   2.5000  

 Plugging into the parabola formula   2.5000  for  x  we can calculate the  y -coordinate : 
  y = 1.0 * 2.50 * 2.50 - 5.0 * 2.50 - 14.0 
or   y = -20.250

Parabola, Graphing Vertex and X-Intercepts :

Root plot for :  y = x2-5x-14
Axis of Symmetry (dashed)  {x}={ 2.50} 
Vertex at  {x,y} = { 2.50,-20.25}  
 x -Intercepts (Roots) :
Root 1 at  {x,y} = {-2.00, 0.00} 
Root 2 at  {x,y} = { 7.00, 0.00} 

Solve Quadratic Equation by Completing The Square

 5.2     Solving   x2-5x-14 = 0 by Completing The Square .

 Add  14  to both side of the equation : 
   x2-5x = 14

Now the clever bit: Take the coefficient of  x , which is  5 , divide by two, giving  5/2 , and finally square it giving  25/4 

Add  25/4  to both sides of the equation :
  On the right hand side we have :
   14  +  25/4    or,  (14/1)+(25/4) 
  The common denominator of the two fractions is  4   Adding  (56/4)+(25/4)  gives  81/4 
  So adding to both sides we finally get :
   x2-5x+(25/4) = 81/4

Adding  25/4  has completed the left hand side into a perfect square :
   x2-5x+(25/4)  =
   (x-(5/2)) • (x-(5/2))  =
  (x-(5/2))2 
Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another. Since
   x2-5x+(25/4) = 81/4 and
   x2-5x+(25/4) = (x-(5/2))2 
then, according to the law of transitivity,
   (x-(5/2))2 = 81/4

We'll refer to this Equation as  Eq. #5.2.1  

The Square Root Principle says that When two things are equal, their square roots are equal.

Note that the square root of
   (x-(5/2))2   is
   (x-(5/2))2/2 =
  (x-(5/2))1 =
   x-(5/2)

Now, applying the Square Root Principle to  Eq. #5.2.1  we get:
   x-(5/2) = √ 81/4 

Add  5/2  to both sides to obtain:
   x = 5/2 + √ 81/4 

Since a square root has two values, one positive and the other negative
   x2 - 5x - 14 = 0
   has two solutions:
  x = 5/2 + √ 81/4 
   or
  x = 5/2 - √ 81/4 

Note that  √ 81/4 can be written as
  √ 81  / √ 4   which is 9 / 2

The following list shows the items and prices for a restaurant order. Calculate the total amount if there is 7.5% tax and the customer leaves a 15% gratuity.
1 appetizer: $8.99
2 entrees: $14.99 each
1 entree: $12.99
3 drinks: $1.99 each
a. $70.96
b. $71.62
c. $75.31
d. $75.97

Answers

The first thing we are going to do to find the total cost of the meal before tax:

Total cost before tax = $8.99 + 2($14.99) + $12.99 + 3($1.99)

Total cost before tax = $8.99 + $29.98 + 12.99 + $5.97

Total cost before tax = $57.93

Regarding the 15% gratuity, remember that the unofficial rule for tipping at restaurants is to tip according to the actual value of the meal and not the tax, so we calculate the value of the tip first, and then we add it to the total at the end of our calculations.

Tip = 15%($57.93) = $8.69

Now, lets calculate the tax

Tax = 7.5%($57.93) = $4.34

Finally, we can calculate the total cost of the meal

Total cost = cost before tax + tip + tax

Total cost = $57.93 + $8.69 + $4.34 = $70.96

We can conclude that the correct answer is a. $70.96

Answer:

$70.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 1 appetizer = $8.99

Cost of 1 entrees= $14.99

Cost of 2 entrees= [tex]14.99 \times 2 = 29.98[/tex]

Cost of 1 entree: $12.99

Cost of 3 drinks = 1.99 \times 3 =5.97

Total cost before tax = $8.99 + $29.98 + 12.99 + $5.97

Total cost before tax = $57.93

there is 7.5% tax

So, tax =[tex]7.5 \% \times 57.93 = \frac{7.5}{100} \times 57.93 =4.34[/tex]

The customer leaves a 15% gratuity.

Gratuity=[tex]15 \% \times 57.93 = \frac{15}{100} \times 57.93 =8.69[/tex]

So, Total cost including tax and gratuity = $57.93 + $8.69 + $4.34 = $70.96

So, Option A is true

She uses about 10 pounds of bird seed each week, but has room to store any extra that she purchases.The bird seed comes in 3 different sizes as given below: 3.5 pounds for $2.52 7.5 pounds for $5.40 11 pounds for $7.92 Nellie is trying to be a smart shopper and get the best deal on the bird seed. Which size bag of bird seed should Nellie buy?

Answers

All the bird seed bags Nellie is considering have the same cost per pound ($0.72). She should choose based on her weekly usage and storage preference. Any size will be cost-effective.

To determine the best deal on bird seed, Nellie needs to calculate the unit price for each option. The unit price is the price per pound of bird seed.

For the 3.5-pound bag:

[tex]\[ \text{Unit price} = \frac{\$2.52}{3.5 \text{ pounds}} \approx \$0.72/\text{pound} \]\\For the 7.5-pound bag:\[ \text{Unit price} = \frac{\$5.40}{7.5 \text{ pounds}} = \$0.72/\text{pound} \]For the 11-pound bag:\[ \text{Unit price} = \frac{\$7.92}{11 \text{ pounds}} \approx \$0.72/\text{pound} \][/tex]

Since all three options have the same unit price of approximately $0.72 per pound, Nellie should choose the size that offers her the most pounds of bird seed for the best value, as he has anyway room for storing extra purchase. Here, can choose to buy any of them.

Answers

Let's call the fuel consumption of the first car "x" and the second car "y"
x + y = 35 is the total fuel consumed.
20x + 25y = 775 is the distance traveled.
Solve the two equations. Skipping a few steps, I get 
5y = 75. Therefore y = 15. So y used 15 gallons of gas. Therefore x used 20 gallons.

20 gallons, 15 gallons.

The range of which function includes -4?
A. y=sqrt(x)-5
B. y=sqrt(x)+5
C. y=sqrt(x+5)
D. y=sqrt(x-5)

Answers

Answer: The correct answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Range is defined as the set of 'y' values for which the function is defined.

The graph of [tex]y=\sqrt{x}[/tex] passes through the origin and lies in the first quadrant and in the shape of half parabola. The image is attached below.

The alteration in the 'x' term will transform the graph in the x-direction. In order to find the range we will consider the y-values only. So, we can neglect option C and D.

When we add some constant 'C' in the function, then the graph will shift upward by C-units.

When we subtract some constant 'C' in the function, then the graph will shift downward by C-units.

Therefore, the graph of [tex]y=\sqrt{x}-5[/tex] starts with the point (0,-5) and hence, the graph will lie above this point. The image of the graph is attached below.

As, the range of the function is [tex]y\in {-5,\infty}[/tex], it means that -4 is also included in this range.

Hence, the correct option is A.

The correct option where the range includes -4 is y = sqrt(x) - 5. Other options do not produce negative values in their ranges. Hence, Option A is the correct answer.

To determine which function's range includes -4, we will analyze each option:

Option A: y = sqrt(x) - 5
The range of sqrt(x) is [0, ∞). Thus, y = sqrt(x) - 5 ranges from [-5, ∞). This includes -4 as -4 is between -5 and ∞.Option B: y = sqrt(x) + 5
The range of sqrt(x) is [0, ∞). Therefore, y = sqrt(x) + 5 ranges from [5, ∞), and this does not include -4.Option C: y = sqrt(x+5)
The range of sqrt(x+5) is [0, ∞). This does not include negative values like -4.Option D: y = sqrt(x-5)
The range of sqrt(x-5) is [0, ∞). This range does not include -4.

Based on the above analysis, the correct answer is Option A: y = sqrt(x) - 5.

Herlinger Laurel and her best friend, Paula, had boarded the Seattle ferry at 9:00 that morningthe first day of Spring Breakstowing their backpacks in a locker and climbing to the top of the ship. They had watched from the stern as the Space Needle and other Seattle landmarks faded away and the San Juan Islands gradually appeared. It would be another few hours before they reached Canada, which left them plenty of time to explore the boat. In no time, Laurel befriended one of the ship's stewards, Ronald, who oriented the girls a bit, pointing out the snack bar and naming the various geographical sights they were passing. Laurel was fast developing a crush on the boy, and he was flirting right back, telling jokes and spending more time with her and Paula than with other passengers. The trip was shaping up just finethat is, until Laurel went to buy some chips and discovered her wallet was missing! "Paula, it's just disappeared," she desperately told her friend, "my passport, all my money, my mom's credit card, everything!" Paula tried to remain calm and to offer some comfort. "Could you have left it in your backpack, in the locker?" Laurel shook her head, nearly in tears now, but they raced down to the lockers anyway and emptied out the contents of both their packsno luck. Laurel started pacing the floor, in a panic. There was no way Customs in Canada would ever let her in without any identification, which meant her vacation was ruined. Just then, Ronald appeared out of nowherea welcome sight to the distraught girls. Paula related the predicament they were in, and Ronald offered to announce the lost wallet on the PA system, but Laurel begged him not to. She felt humiliated enough as it was without the whole ship knowing about it. "You probably just dropped it or misplaced it," he suggested. "Let's split up and search the ship's decks. Laurel, you and I can search the upper level, and Paula, you search the lower, okay?" Paula was amenable to the plan and quickly began scouring the area around the lockers. Laura and Ronald headed upstairs to the upper deck. Five minutes into their searching, Laurel slumped down on a bench and wept in frustration. Then, to her amazement, Ronald sat beside her and promptly produced her wallet from the inside pocket of his vest! "Oh, thank goodness!" Laurel cried. "But where on earth did you find it?" "I had your wallet all along," the steward confessed. "I knew you and your friend were inexperienced travelers, and I wanted to show you what an easy target you could be for pickpocketers. Always carry your wallet in an inside pocket, or deep in your backpack, okay?" Nodding solemnly as she wiped away her tears, Laurel promised that she would.
