David is making rice for his guests based on a recipe that requires rice, water, and a special blend of spice, where the rice-to

-spice ratio is 15:1. He currently has 40 grams of the spice blend, and he can go buy more if necessary. He wants to make 10 servings, where each serving has 75 grams of rice. Overall, David spends 4.50 dollars on rice.

Answer:

8 servings

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given:</h3>

Rice-to-spice ratio = 15:1

Amount of spice = 40 grams

Rice required for one serving = 75 grams

<h3>To find:</h3>

Number of servings

<h3>Solution:</h3>

<u>Spice required for one serving, using the rice-to-spice ratio to calculate:</u>

75 grams/15 = 5 grams

<u>David can make servings according to amount of spice he has:</u>

40 grams / 5 grams = 8

<u>Answer:</u> David will be able to make 8 servings

What is 0.002 1/10 of

ki77a [65]

<span>0.002 1/10 of what
=> 1/10a = 0.002
=> Now, let’s multiply both sides with 10 to find the answer since we’re looking for the 1/10 of what number.
=> 10 x 1/10 a = 10 x 0.002
=> a = 0.02

Thus, 0.002 is the 1/10 of 0.02 number.
let’s check if we have a correct answer.
To check just do the other way around, Divide our answer by 10.
=> 0.02 / 10
=> 0.002
Therefore, our answer is correct

Solve the recurrence relation: hn = 5hn−1 − 6hn−2 − 4hn−3 + 8hn−4 with initial values h0 = 0, h1 = 1, h2 = 1, and h3 = 2 using (

musickatia [10]

(a) Suppose $h_n=r^n$ is a solution for this recurrence, with $r\neq0$ . Then

$r^n=5r^{n-1}-6r^{n-2}-4r^{n-3}+8r^{n-4}$
$\implies1=\dfrac5r-\dfrac6{r^2}-\dfrac4{r^3}+\dfrac8{r^4}$
$\implies r^4-5r^3+6r^2+4r-8=0$
$\implies (r-2)^3(r+1)=0\implies r=2,r=-1$

So we expect a general solution of the form

$h_n=c_1(-1)^n+(c_2+c_3n+c_4n^2)2^n$

With $h_0=0,h_1=1,h_2=1,h_3=2$ , we get four equations in four unknowns:

$\begin{cases}c_1+c_2=0\\-c_1+2c_2+2c_3+2c_4=1\\c_1+4c_2+8c_3+16c_4=1\\-c_1+8c_2+24c_3+72c_4=2\end{cases}\implies c_1=-\dfrac8{27},c_2=\dfrac8{27},c_3=\dfrac7{72},c_4=-\dfrac1{24}$

So the particular solution to the recurrence is

$h_n=-\dfrac8{27}(-1)^n+\left(\dfrac8{27}+\dfrac{7n}{72}-\dfrac{n^2}{24}\right)2^n$

(b) Let $G(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge0}h_nx^n$ be the generating function for $h_n$ . Multiply both sides of the recurrence by $x^n$ and sum over all $n\ge4$ .

$\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge4}h_nx^n=5\sum_{n\ge4}h_{n-1}x^n-6\sum_{n\ge4}h_{n-2}x^n-4\sum_{n\ge4}h_{n-3}x^n+8\sum_{n\ge4}h_{n-4}x^n$
$\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge4}h_nx^n=5x\sum_{n\ge3}h_nx^n-6x^2\sum_{n\ge2}h_nx^n-4x^3\sum_{n\ge1}h_nx^n+8x^4\sum_{n\ge0}h_nx^n$
$G(x)-h_0-h_1x-h_2x^2-h_3x^3=5x(G(x)-h_0-h_1x-h_2x^2)-6x^2(G(x)-h_0-h_1x)-4x^3(G(x)-h_0)+8x^4G(x)$
$G(x)-x-x^2-2x^3=5x(G(x)-x-x^2)-6x^2(G(x)-x)-4x^3G(x)+8x^4G(x)$
$(1-5x+6x^2+4x^3-8x^4)G(x)=x-4x^2+3x^3$
$G(x)=\dfrac{x-4x^2+3x^3}{1-5x+6x^2+4x^3-8x^4}$
$G(x)=\dfrac{17}{108}\dfrac1{1-2x}+\dfrac29\dfrac1{(1-2x)^2}-\dfrac1{12}\dfrac1{(1-2x)^3}-\dfrac8{27}\dfrac1{1+x}$

From here you would write each term as a power series (easy enough, since they're all geometric or derived from a geometric series), combine the series into one, and the solution to the recurrence will be the coefficient of $x^n$ , ideally matching the solution found in part (a).

One hundred students were surveyed about whether they prefer Snapchat or Instagram. out of the 50 boys surveyed there were 40 bo

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer: There are 20 girls who preferred insta.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of students who were surveyed = 100

Number of boys who preferred insta among 50 boys = 40

Number of girls who preferred snpchat among 50 girls = 30

We need to find the number of girls who preferred insta.

So, Number of girls who preferred insta = Total number of girls - Number of girls who preferred snpchat.

$\implies 50-30\\\\=20$

Hence, there are 20 girls who preferred insta.
