Gordon Ramsey made a stew that contained shrimp and potatoes. Shrimp was expensive, so he used three times the amount of potatoes as he did shrimp. If the stew had 5 lbs. Total shrimp and potatoes, how many pounds of potatoes did he buy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

He bough 1.25 lbs of shrimp and 3.75 lbs of potato.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the stew is composed of shrimps and potatoes, then the sum of the weighs of these ingredients must be equal to the weigh of the stew, so we have:

[tex]shrimp + potato = 5[/tex]

We also know that he bought three times more potatoes than shrimps, therefore:

[tex]potato = 3*shrimp[/tex]

Using the second equation on the first one, we have:

[tex]shrimp + 3*shrimp = 5\\4*shrimp = 5\\shrimp = \frac{5}{4} = 1.25[/tex]

[tex]potato = 3*shrimp = 3*1.25 = 3.75[/tex]

He bough 1.25 lbs of shrimp and 3.75 lbs of potato.

the graph shows the speed of a vehicle during the final 50 seconds of a journey at the start of the 50 seconds the speed is k metres per second

Answers

Answer:

a) 27 m/s

b) 30 m/s

c)   i) 3

     ii) Deceleration

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not complete, the correct question is given as:

The graph shows information about the speed of a vehicle during the final 50 seconds of a journey.  At the start of the 50 seconds the speed is k metres per second.  The distance travelled during the 50 seconds is 1.35 kilometres.

(a) Work out the average speed of the vehicle during the 50 seconds

(b) Work out the value of k.

(c) (i) Calculate the gradient of the graph in the final 10 seconds of the journey

    (ii) Describe what this gradient represents

Answer:

The graph is attached. The total time = 50 seconds, total distance = 1.35 km = 1350 m  

a) The average speed is the ratio of the total distance traveled to the total time taken to cover this distance. The average speed is given by the formula:

[tex]Average \ speed=\frac{total\ distance}{total\ time}\\ Substituting: \\ Average \ speed=\frac{1350\ m}{50\ s} = 27\ m/s[/tex]

b) From the graph, the total distance covered is the area of the graph. The graph is made up of a rectangle and triangle, the area of the graph is equal to the sum of area of rectangle and area of triangle.

[tex]Total \ distance=Total\ area=Area\ of \ rectangle+Area\ of \ triangle\\Total \ distance=(length *breadth)+\frac{1}{2}base*height\\1350 \ m=(40*k)+0.5*10*k\\1350=40k+5k\\45k=1350\\k=1350/45\\k=30\ m/s[/tex]c) i) The gradient in the last 10 seconds is the ratio of change in speed to change in time

[tex]Gradient=\frac{change\ in\ speed }{change\ in\ time}=\frac{0-k}{50-40} \\ bt \ k=30\\Gradient=\frac{0-30}{50-40}= \frac{-30}{10} =-3[/tex]

ii) Since the gradient is negative it means it is deceleration. That is in the in the last 10 seconds the vehicle decelerates at a rate of 3 m/s²

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a)34 m/s

b) 40k=34

k=34/40

k=0.85 m/s

At Barlow school, 4/9 of the 873 students are boys.
At Willow school, 2/3 of the 630 students are girls
Which school has a greater of boys and how many?

Answers

Answer:

Barlow School has the greater number of boys by  178.

Answer:

Barlow school by 178

Step-by-step explanation:

→ First let's work out the number of boys at Barlow school

[tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex]  of  [tex]873[/tex]  [tex]=[/tex]  [tex](873/9)*4[/tex]  [tex]=[/tex]  [tex]388[/tex]

→ There is 388 boys in Barlow school. Now let's work out the number of boys at Willow school. Since we know that  [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]  of the school is girls, it must mean that the remaining part must be boys so the fraction of boys at Willow school is  [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]  of  [tex]630[/tex]  [tex]=[/tex]   [tex](630/3)*1[/tex]  [tex]=[/tex] 210

→ The question specifies to say which school has a greater number of boys and we can see Barlow school has more boys and the question says by how many so we take away the totals so 388 - 210 = 178

According to the Rational Root Theorem, which is a factor of the polynomial f(x) = 3x3 – 5x2 – 12x + 20?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You didn't give your options, but it doesn't matter. We'll find all the possibilities and then you can pick it from your list.

When I teach this in Algebra 2, I call it the "the c over d thing" and all my students know EXACTLY to what I am referring. "c" is the constant and "d" is the leading coefficient. The combination of c/d give you the possibilities of roots for the polynomial. There are no real roots that a polynomial can have other than the possibilities we find when we do the c/d thing.

Our c is a 20.  All the factors of 20 are as follows (notice that we have both the positive and negative factors):

20: ±1, ±2, ±4, ±5, ±10, ±20

Our d is a 3.  All the factors of 3 are as follows (again, both the + and the -):

3: ±1, ±3 and that's it for 3.

c/d is as follows. Make sure you put ever c over every d!!!:

c/d: ±[tex]\frac{1}{1}[/tex], ±[tex]\frac{2}{1}[/tex], ±[tex]\frac{4}{1}[/tex], ±[tex]\frac{5}{1}[/tex], ±[tex]\frac{10}{1}[/tex], ±[tex]\frac{20}{1}[/tex], ±[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex], ±[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex], ±[tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex], ±[tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex], ±[tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex], ±[tex]\frac{20}{3}[/tex]

Those are all the possibilities for your roots for that polynomial. As long as the roots are real (and they won't always all be real!), there are no roots but these.

   = 4 x (2^10 - 1)(2 - 1)

   = 4 x (2^10 - 1)

Answer:

4092

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of a geometric sequence is

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a[tex]r^{n-1}[/tex]

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

4[tex](2)^{n-1}[/tex] ← is the n th term of a geometric sequence

*Giving brainliest* Over what interval is the function in this graph constant?

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Constant means unchanging. You can see that there is a portion in the graph where the line is just flat. That means that the graph is constant in that interval. Find where the constant line starts and ends. Since the coordinates are increasing by 2, and the constant line starts between 0 and the first tick (2), the constant line starts at 1. Do the same thing to find where it ends(the last point where the line is flat). This should be 6.

That means the line is unchanging(constant) from 1 to 6, which can be represented by C.

Need HELP!!!! Write the point-slope form of the line that passes through (5, 5) and is perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1/4. Include all of your work in your final answer.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y - 5 = -4(x-5)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Line coordinates: (5,5)

Perpendicular slope = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Required

Find the point slope form of the line

First, the slope of the line has t be calculated;

Given that two lines are perpendicular;

The relationship between there slopes is given as [tex]m_1.m_2 = -1[/tex]

Let m_2 represent the slope of the second line;

such that [tex]m_2 = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

So;

[tex]m_1 * \frac{1}{4} = -1[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 4

[tex]m_1 * \frac{1}{4} * 4 = -1 * 4[/tex]

[tex]m_1 = -1 * 4[/tex]

[tex]m_1 = -4[/tex]

Now, the equation of the line can be calculated using slope formula;

[tex]m = \frac{y - y_1}{x- x_1}[/tex]

Where

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (5,5)\\m_1 =m = -4[/tex]

So; [tex]m = \frac{y - y_1}{x- x_1}[/tex] becomes

[tex]-4 = \frac{y - 5}{x- 5}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by x - 5

[tex]-4(x-5) = \frac{y - 5}{x- 5} * (x-5)[/tex]

[tex]-4(x-5) = y - 5[/tex]

Reorder

[tex]y - 5 = -4(x-5)[/tex]

Hence, the line in point-slope form is [tex]y - 5 = -4(x-5)[/tex]

Write the expression for the amount of wallpaper in square feet you need to cover the living room, which is the same height and width as the family room, but it has a length that is 5 times greater than the height. The living room has 2 doors.

Answers

Answer:

The expression for the amount of wallpaper needed is [tex]20b^{2}- 2d[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The necessary dimensions of the living room we need are the length and the height. We will not be needing the width because we will not be covering the floors with any wallpaper.

We will now assign variables to represent the surface areas of some features of the rooms.

Let the length of one wall of the living room be = l cm

Let the breadth of one wall of the living room be = b cm

Let the surface area of the doors be = d [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]

From the problem, we know that  l = 5b

The area to be covered on one wall of the living room will be = length X breadth.

l X b

recall l = 5b

[tex]5b \times b = 5b^{2}[/tex]

this is the area to be covered on one wall.

For the four walls, we would have [tex]4 \times 5b^{2}= 20b^{2}[/tex]

Let us remember that the living room has two doors each covering a surface area of [tex]d cm^{2}[/tex] we will have to subtract these out since hey won't be covered.

[tex]20b^{2}- 2d[/tex]

Therefore, the expression for the amount of wallpaper needed is [tex]20b^{2}- 2d[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that function g(x) has for roots the values x = -1 and x = 2, (these are the crossings of the x axis that you see in the graph)

On the other hand, the function f(x) has two roots that are obtained by factoring it out:

[tex]f(x)=x^2+x-6\\f(x)= x^2-2x+3x-6\\f(x)=x(x-2)\,+\,3(x-2)\\f(x)=(x-2)\,(x+3)[/tex]

Therefore it has roots at x=2 and x= -3

So functions f(x) and g(x) share one root in common that of x=2 and each have another different root
