Answer: 6 cups of ketchup per cup of mustard

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The recipe calls for 3 cups of ketchup for every $\dfrac12$ cup of mustard.

That means , for $\dfrac12$ cup of mustard. we need 3 cups of ketchup.

By using proportions, if we multiply 2 on both sides ,we get

for $\dfrac12\times 2$ cup of mustard. we need $3\times 2$ cups of ketchup.

⇒ for $1$ cup of mustard. we need $6$ cups of ketchup.

Hence, the required rate = 6 cups of ketchup per cup of mustard

Answer:

5th term of sequence = -18

nth term of the sequence = -5n + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference between successive and previous term of the output,

$T_{2}-T_{1}$ = -3 - 2

= -5

Similarly, $T_{3}-T_{2}=-8-(-3)$

= -5

There is a common difference 'd' = (-5)

Therefore, the sequence formed will be an arithmetic sequence.

First term of the sequence 'a' = 2

Explicit formula of an arithmetic sequence, $T_{n}$ = a + (n - 1)d [n = input value]

$T_{n}$ = 2 + (n - 1)(-5)

= 2 - 5n + 5

= -5n + 7

5th term of this sequence,

$T_{5}=2+(5-1)(-5)$

= 2 - 20

= -18

Therefore, 5th term of sequence = -18

nth term of the sequence = -5n + 7

Samuel was riding in the back seat of the station wagon on the way home after a long and tiring day at the

ki77a [65]

Answer: One fourth of the entire trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial distance is D.

" He fell asleep halfway home."

Then he fells asleep when the distance between his actual position and his house was half of D, or:

D/2.

"He didn't wake up until he still had half as far to go as he had already

gone while asleep."

So he wakes up when his actual position is a fourth of the initial distance:

(D/2)/2 = D/4.

Then if the entire trip has a distance D, and he was sleeping between:

D/2 - D/4 = 2D/4 - D/4 = D/4.

in a trip of a distance D, he was asleep a distance of D/4.

Then, returning to the question:

How much of the entire trip home was Samuel asleep?

This is equal to the quotient between the distance that he travels asleep and the total distance:

r = (D/4)/D = 1/4.

Then he was asleep in 1/4 of the entire trip.

Given the general identity tan X =sin X/cos X , which equation relating the acute angles, A and C, of a right ∆ABC is true?

irakobra [83]

First, note that $m\angle A+m\angle C=90^{\circ}.$ Then

$m\angle A=90^{\circ}-m\angle C \text{ and } m\angle C=90^{\circ}-m\angle A.$

Consider all options:

A.

$\tan A=\dfrac{\sin A}{\sin C}$

By the definition,

$\tan A=\dfrac{BC}{AB},\\ \\\sin A=\dfrac{BC}{AC},\\ \\\sin C=\dfrac{AB}{AC}.$

Now

$\dfrac{\sin A}{\sin C}=\dfrac{\dfrac{BC}{AC}}{\dfrac{AB}{AC}}=\dfrac{BC}{AB}=\tan A.$

Option A is true.

B.

$\cos A=\dfrac{\tan (90^{\circ}-A)}{\sin (90^{\circ}-C)}.$

By the definition,

$\cos A=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\tan (90^{\circ}-A)=\dfrac{\sin(90^{\circ}-A)}{\cos(90^{\circ}-A)}=\dfrac{\sin C}{\cos C}=\dfrac{\dfrac{AB}{AC}}{\dfrac{BC}{AC}}=\dfrac{AB}{BC},\\ \\\sin (90^{\circ}-C)=\sin A=\dfrac{BC}{AC}.$

Then

$\dfrac{\tan (90^{\circ}-A)}{\sin (90^{\circ}-C)}=\dfrac{\dfrac{AB}{BC}}{\dfrac{BC}{AC}}=\dfrac{AB\cdot AC}{BC^2}\neq \dfrac{AB}{AC}.$

Option B is false.

3.

$\sin C = \dfrac{\cos A}{\tan C}.$

By the definition,

$\sin C=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\cos A=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\tan C=\dfrac{AB}{BC}.$

Now

$\dfrac{\cos A}{\tan C}=\dfrac{\dfrac{AB}{AC}}{\dfrac{AB}{BC}}=\dfrac{BC}{AC}\neq \sin C.$

Option C is false.

D.

$\cos A=\tan C.$

By the definition,

$\cos A=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\tan C=\dfrac{AB}{BC}.$

As you can see $\cos A\neq \tan C$ and option D is not true.

E.

$\sin C = \dfrac{\cos(90^{\circ}-C)}{\tan A}.$

By the definition,

$\sin C=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\cos (90^{\circ}-C)=\cos A=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\tan A=\dfrac{BC}{AB}.$

Then

$\dfrac{\cos(90^{\circ}-C)}{\tan A}=\dfrac{\dfrac{AB}{AC}}{\dfrac{BC}{AB}}=\dfrac{AB^2}{AC\cdot BC}\neq \sin C.$

This option is false.

A manufacturer of banana chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 449 gram setting. It is

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

We accetp H₀

Step-by-step explanation:

Information:

Normal distribution

Population mean = μ₀ = 449

Population standard deviation σ unknown

Sample size n = 23 n < 30 we use t-student test

so n = 23 degree of fredom df = n - 1 df = 23- 1 df = 22

Sample mean μ = 448

Sample standard deviation s = 20

Significance level α = 0,05

1.-Hypothesis Test

Null hypothesis H₀ μ₀ = 449

Alternative hypothesis Hₐ μ₀ ≠ 449

Problem statement ask for determine decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis. For rejecting the null hypothesis we have to get an statistic parameter wich implies that μ is bigger or smaller than μ₀

2.-Significance level α = 0,05 ; as we have a two tail test

α/2 = 0,025

Then from t - student table for df = 22 and 0,025 (two tail-test)

t(c) = ± 2.074

3.- Compute t(s)

t(s) = ( μ - μ₀ ) / s /√n

plugging in values

t(s) = (448 - 449) / 20 /√23 ⇒ t(s) = - 1*√23 /20

t(s) = - 0.2398

4.-Compare t(c) and t(s)

t(s) < t(c) - 0.2398 < - 2.074

Therefore t(s) in inside acceptance region. We accept H₀
