The number of servings of pasta were in the dish Lois made is 31.67.

Number of servings of pasta were in the dish Lois made = Number of cups of pasta Lois made / A serving of the pasta

= 6 1/3 ÷ 0.2

= 19/3 ÷ 0.2

= 19/3 × 1/0.2

= (19×1) / (3 × 0.2)

The largest integers of the numbers is 406.

The sum of five consecutive positive integers is 2020.

Therefore,

let

the first positive integer = x

Hence,

x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4 = 2020

5x + 10 = 2020

5x = 2020 - 10

5x = 2010

x = 2010 / 5

x = 402

largest integer = 402 + 4 = 406

Therefore, the largest integers of the numbers is 406.

The two possible positions of point P are:

(3, -5) and (0.6, 5.8)

We know that point P lies on the line:

y = 4 - 3*x

And that the distance between P and the origin is √34, then if the coordinates of point P are (x, y), we have that:

[tex]\sqrt{34} = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}[/tex]

Now, we can replace "y" in the distance equation by the linear equation, and also remove the square roots:

[tex]34 = x^2 + (4 - 3x)^2[/tex]

Now we can solve the quadratic equation for x:

[tex]34 = x^2 + 9x^2 + 16 - 24x\\\\10x^2 - 24x - 18 = 0\\\\[/tex]

The solutions are:

[tex]x = \frac{24 \pm \sqrt{(-24)^2 - 4*10*(-18)} }{2*10} \\\\x = \frac{24 \pm36}{20}[/tex]

So the two solutions are:

x = (24 + 36)/20 = 3

x = (24 - 36)/20 = -0.6

To get the points, we need to evaluate y on these values:

y = 4 - 3*3 = -5   So we have P = (3, -5)

y = 4 - 3*(-0.6) = 2.2 So we have the point (0.6, 5.8)

Answer: 2 and 3, or 3 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

a + b = 5 so a = 5 - b

Substitute a = 5 - b into ab = 6; (5 - b)b =  6

5b - [tex]b^{2}[/tex] = 6

[tex]b^{2}[/tex] - 5b + 6 = 0

(b - 2)(b - 3) = 0

So b is either 2 or 3

The factored form of the given trinomial is (x -7)(x +1)

From the question, we are to factor the given trinomials

The given trinomial is

x² + 6x - 7

The trinomial is a quadratic expression. The trinomial/ quadratic expression can be factored as a product of two binomial. When factored, the trinomial will take the form (x + a)(x + b)

Where are a and b are integers.

Factoring the trinomial

x² + 6x - 7

To factor the trinomial, we will find two numbers such that when added, we get the middle term; and when these numbers are multiplied we get the constant term.

The numbers that satisfy this condition are +1x and -7x

x² +x -7x - 7

x (x + 1) -7(x +1)

(x -7)(x +1)

The inverse function of f(x) = 1/2x + 1/4 is f-1(x) = 2x - 1/2

The function is given as:

f(x) = 1/2x + 1/4

Rewrite the function as

y = 1/2x + 1/4

Swap the positions of x and y

x = 1/2y + 1/4

Multiply through by 4

4x = 2y + 1

Subtract 1 from both sides

2y = 4x - 1

Divide by 2

y = 2x - 1/2

Rewrite as an inverse function

f-1(x) = 2x - 1/2

Hence, the inverse function of f(x) = 1/2x + 1/4 is f-1(x) = 2x - 1/2

Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

-18+24 = -2(x+6) Distribute and simplify

6 = -2x-12 Add 12 to both sides

18 = -2x Divide by -2 on both sides

-9 = x Here's your answer

Hope this helps! :D

First, do -2 times x. that is -2x.  Next, do -2 times +6. That should be -12. The last steps are in order, add 18 on both sides. it should be -18+18 and -12+18. now you have 24 on the left and -2x and +6. -6 on both sides. 6-6 and 24-6. now you have 18 and -2x. so get rid of the -2x by doing -2x/-2 and on the left side 18/-2. So the answer should be -9=x.

¹³C₈ + ¹³C₉ as a single term from Pascal's Triangle is ¹⁴C₉

Pascal's triangle is a triangle written in such a way that it forms the coefficients of a binomial expansion. The coefficients of the terms are gotten through combination.

Combination is the number of ways r in which n objects can be selected. It is given by ⁿCₓ = n!/x!(n - x)!

Step-by-step explanation:

       Since the shaded area is above the line, we will use either > or ≥ for our inequality.

       Next, since this is a solid line we will use the ≥ symbol for our inequality. This means the answer is the first option.

By the use of the completing the square method, the maximum height is 3 ±√29/4 + 9 m.

The maximum height has been modeled by the use of the equation f(x)= -4x^2 +24x -29. Now we know that f(x)= h so we can write;

h = -4x^2 +24x -29

Now we have;

0 = -4x^2 +24x -29

-4x^2 +24x -29= 0

x^2 - 6x = -29/4

(x - 3)^2 = -29/4 + 3^2

Answer: 12x squared + 2x + 96

Step-by-step explanation: We first simplify the parentheses. 8x2 = 16 - 4x - 8 = 16-8-4x = 8-4x. 2x2 = 4 +3x+2 = 4+2+3x = 6+3x. So, we are left with (16-4x)(6+3x).  We rearrange the problem so it looks like this: (-4x + 16)(3x + 6). -4x(3x+6)  + 16(3x+6). Now we just multiply. And, we get 12 x squared + 2x + 96

A quantity of 84 shingles are required to cover the surface area of 336 square feet of the first roof.

A quantity of 110 shingles are required to cover the surface area of 220 square feet of the second root.

In this question we must determine both the surface area and the number of shingles to cover two roof configurations as well. In the first case, we calculate the surface area, which is the sum of the area of rectangles:

A = 2 · (8 ft) · (12 ft) + 2 · (6 ft) · (12 ft)

A = 336 ft²

And the number of shingles required to cover the root is:

n = (336 ft²) / (4 ft²)

n = 84

A quantity of 84 shingles are required to cover the surface area of 336 square feet of the first roof.

In the second, we only need to cover the very top surface. The area and the number of shingles are, respectively:

A = 2 · (5 ft) · (22 ft)

A = 220 ft²

n = (220 ft²) / (2 ft²)

Step-by-step explanation:

Both lines in the given system of inequalities are linear equations.

Slope-intercept form of a linear equation:  y = mx + b

(where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept)

Positive slope (m):  as x increases, y increases.

Negative slope (-m):  as x increases, y decreases.

When graphing inequalities:

The inequality represented by the blue line has a positive slope and shading below the line.

⇒ y ≤ mx + b

From inspection of the graph, its y-intercept is 2.

⇒ y ≤ mx + 2

The inequality represented by the yellow line has a negative slope and shading above the line.

⇒ y ≥ -mx + b

From inspection of the graph, it's y-intercept is zero.
