Answer: First option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pieces of candy = 252

Number of ounces jar is it = 14

We need to find the number of pieces of candy should be there in the jar per ounce.

So, it becomes

Number of pieces of candy per ounce is given by

$\dfrac{\text{Number of pieces of candy}}{\text{Quantity of jar}}\\\\=\dfrac{252}{14}\\\\=18$

Hence, there are 18 pieces of candy per ounce in the jar.

Therefore, First option is correct.

"Per" essentially means "divided by." To find pieces per ounce, divide pieces by ounces.

(252 pieces)/(14 ounces) = (252/14) pieces/ounce = 18 pieces/ounce

A hot tub pump circulates 4 cubic feet of water per minute. How many cubic inches of water does it circulate each minute?

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

48 Cubic Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

One foot, whether it be squared, cubed, or otherwise changed, will always equal twelve inches to the same power. So, 4 cubic feet is 48 cubic inches because 4*12=48

A flat circular plate has the shape of the region x squared plus y squared less than or equals 1x2+y2≤1. the plate, including t

You're looking for the extreme values of $x^2+3y^2+13x$ subject to the constraint $x^2+y^2\le1$ .

The target function has partial derivatives (set equal to 0)

$\dfrac{\partial(x^2+3y^2+13x)}{\partial x}=2x+13=0\implies x=-\dfrac{13}2$

$\dfrac{\partial(x^2+3y^2+13x)}{\partial y}=6y=0\implies y=0$

so there is only one critical point at $\left(-\dfrac{13}2,0\right)$ . But this point does not fall in the region $x^2+y^2\le1$ . There are no extreme values in the region of interest, so we check the boundary.

Parameterize the boundary of $x^2+y^2\le1$ by

$x=\cos u$

$y=\sin u$

with $0\le u$ . Then $t(x,y)$ can be considered a function of $u$ alone:

$t(x,y)=t(\cos u,\sin u)=T(u)$

$T(u)=\cos^2u+3\sin^2u+13\cos u$

$T(u)=3+13\cos u-2\cos^2u$

$T(u)$ has critical points where $T'(u)=0$ :

$T'(u)=-13\sin u+4\sin u\cos u=\sin u(4\cos u-13)=0$

$(1)\quad\sin u=0\implies u=0,u=\pi$

$(2)\quad4\cos u-13=0\implies\cos u=\dfrac{13}4$

but $|\cos u|\le1$ for all $u$ , so this case yields nothing important.

At these critical points, we have temperatures of

$T(0)=14$

$T(\pi)=-12$

so the plate is hottest at (1, 0) with a temperature of 14 (degrees?) and coldest at (-1, 0) with a temp of -12.

A deer population is estimated to be 4,350. The growth rate of the population is given by the equation y=4350(1.07) . What is th

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Analyzing the growth rate of 1.07:

If the growth rate is a number greater than 1, we have exponential growth; if the growth rate is a number greater than 0 but less than 1, we have exponential decay.

Our growth rate is actually growth. But the rate of growth is not 107%. The rate of growth means that we already had 100% of the population and that it is growing by 7% each year. 100% + 7% = 107%; as a decimal, 1.07

So the rate of growth is 7%
