Answer:

Amount of lemon juice, sugar and water required will be = 0.375 cups, 0.75 cups and 3 cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Malanie is making lemonade and finds a recipe that requires lemon juice, sugar and water in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 8.

She juices 2 lemons to obtain 6 tablespoons of lemon juice.

∵ 16 tablespoons = 1 cup

∴ 1 tablespoon = $\frac{1}{16}$ cup

∴ 6 tablespoon = $\frac{6}{16}$ cup = 0.375 cups

Since ratio between lemon and sugar is 1 : 2

So amount of sugar required = 0.375×2 = 0.75 cups

Ratio between lemon and water is 1 : 8

So amount of water required = 0.375×8 = 3 cups

Therefore, amount of lemon juice, sugar and water required = 0.375 cups, 0.75 cups sugar and 3 cups respectively.

Trevor is analyzing a circle, y2 + x2 = 100, and a linear function g(x). Will they intersect?

lakkis [162]

Given a circle described by the equation:
$y^2+x^2=100$
and a function g(x) given by the table
$\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ |c |c |c }
 x & g(x) \\
 -1 & -22 \\
 0 & -20 \\
1 & -18 
\end{tabular}
\end{center}$

The function g(x) describes a straight line with the equation:
$\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ \\ \frac{y-(-22)}{x-(-1)} = \frac{-20-(-22)}{0-(-1)} \\ \\ \frac{y+22}{x+1} = \frac{-20+22}{0+1} = \frac{2}{1} \\ \\ y+22=2(x+1)=2x+2 \\ \\ y=2x-20$

To check if the circle and the line intersects, we substitute the equation of the line into the equation of the circle to see if we have a real solution.
i.e.
$y^2+x^2=100 \\ \\ (2x-20)^2+x^2=100 \\ \\ 4x^2-80x+400+x^2=100 \\ \\ 5x^2-80x+300=0 \\ \\ x^2-16x+60=0 \\ \\ (x-6)(x-10)=0 \\ \\ x-6=0 \ or \ x-10=0 \\ \\ x=6 \ or \ x=10$

When x = 6, y = 2(6) - 20 = 12 - 20 = -8 and when x = 10, y = 2(10) - 20 = 20 - 20 = 0

Therefore, the circle and the line intersect at the points (6, -8) and (10, 0).

Cheese sticks that were previously priced at "10 for $1" are now "2 for $1". Find each percent change.

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The percent decrease in the number of cheese sticks you can buy for $1 is 80%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Cheese sticks that were previously priced at "10 for $1" are now "2 for $1".

To find : The percent decrease in the number of cheese sticks you can buy for $1 ?

Solution :

The formula used to find percent decrease is given by,

$\%\text{ change}=\frac{\text{Amount of change}}{\text{Original amount }}\times 100$

The price change from 10 to 2,

$\%\text{ change}=\frac{10-2}{10}\times 100$

$\%\text{ change}=\frac{8}{10}\times 100$

$\%\text{ change}=80\%$

The percent decrease in the number of cheese sticks you can buy for $1 is 80%.

Suppose you roll a pair of honest dice. If you roll a total of 7 you win $22, if you roll a total of 11 you win $66, if you roll

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The expected payoff for this game is -$1.22.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a pair of honest dice is rolled.

Possible outcomes for a dice = 1,2,3,4,5,6

Two dices are rolled then the total number of outcomes = 6 × 6 = 36.

$\{(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),\\(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),\\(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)\}$

The possible ways of getting a total of 7,

{ (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1) }

Number of favorable outcomes = 7

Formula for probability:

$Probability=\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

So, the possibility of getting a total of 7 = $\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}$

The possible ways of getting a total of 11,

{(5,6), (6,5)}

So, the probability of getting a total of 11 = $\frac{2}{36}$ = $\frac{1}{18}$

Now, other possible rolls = 36 - 6 - 2 = 36 - 8 = 28,

So, the probability of getting the sum of numbers other than 7 or 11 = $\frac{28}{36}$ = $\frac{7}{9}$

Since, for the sum of 7, $ 22 will earn, for the sum of 11, $ 66 will earn while for any other total loss is $11,

Hence, the expected value for this game is

$\frac{1}{6}\times 22+\frac{1}{18}\times 66-\frac{7}{9}\times 11$

$\frac{11}{3}+\frac{11}{3}-\frac{77}{9}$

$\frac{22}{3}-\frac{77}{9}$

$\frac{66-77}{9}$

$-\frac{11}{9}$

$-1.22$

Therefore the expected payoff for this game is -$1.22.

Determine the distance between point (x1, y1) and point (x2, y2), and assign the result to pointsdistance. the calculation is: d

taurus [48]

For this case what you should know is that the distance between two points can be thought of as a line. To find the length of this line, you can use the formula:
d: √ [(x2 - x1) ^ 2 + (y2 - y1) ^ 2]
Example,
for points (1.0, 2.0) and (1.0, 5.0):
d: √ [(1 - 1) ^ 2 + (5 - 2) ^ 2]
d: 3.0
Answer:
the distance between point (x1, y1) and point (x2, y2) is:
d: √ [(x2 - x1) ^ 2 + (y2 - y1) ^ 2]
