💡First, I need to determine the common difference ( d ) and the first term ( a_1 ) of the arithmetic sequence ( {a_n} ).Given:[begin{cases}a_2 = 6 a_5 = 15end{cases}]Using the formula for the ( n )-th term of an arithmetic sequence:[a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d]For ( a_2 ):[a_1 + d = 6 quad text{(1)}]For ( a_5 ):[a_1 + 4d = 15 quad text{(2)}]Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2):[(a_1 + 4d) - (a_1 + d) = 15 - 6 3d = 9 d = 3]Substituting ( d = 3 ) back into equation (1):[a_1 + 3 = 6 a_1 = 3]Now, the general term of the sequence ( {a_n} ) is:[a_n = 3 + (n-1) times 3 = 3n]Next, define ( b_n = a_{2n} ):[b_n = a_{2n} = 3 times 2n = 6n]The sequence ( {b_n} ) is also an arithmetic sequence with the first term ( b_1 = 6 ) and common difference ( 6 ).To find the sum of the first 5 terms of ( {b_n} ):[S_5 = frac{5}{2} times [2 times 6 + (5-1) times 6] = frac{5}{2} times [12 + 24] = frac{5}{2} times 36 = 90]

💡First, I need to determine how many small boxes are inside the large box. Each small box contains 25 chocolate bars, and the large box contains a total of 525 chocolate bars.To find the number of small boxes, I will divide the total number of chocolate bars by the number of chocolate bars in each small box.So, I will divide 525 by 25.This calculation will give me the total number of small boxes in the large box.

💡Okay, so I have this problem where I need to determine the intervals of ( x ) for which the expression ( (x+3)(x-1) ) is positive. The options are given as A, B, C, and D. Let me try to figure this out step by step.First, I remember that when dealing with expressions like this, especially quadratic ones, it's helpful to find the roots because they divide the number line into intervals where the expression might change its sign. So, I should probably start by finding the roots of the expression ( (x+3)(x-1) ).To find the roots, I set the expression equal to zero:[(x + 3)(x - 1) = 0]This gives me two solutions:[x + 3 = 0 quad Rightarrow quad x = -3]and[x - 1 = 0 quad Rightarrow quad x = 1]So, the roots are ( x = -3 ) and ( x = 1 ). These points divide the real number line into three intervals:1. ( (-infty, -3) )2. ( (-3, 1) )3. ( (1, infty) )Now, I need to test each interval to see whether the expression ( (x+3)(x-1) ) is positive or negative in that interval. I'll pick a test point from each interval and plug it into the expression.**First interval: ( (-infty, -3) )**Let's choose ( x = -4 ).[(-4 + 3)(-4 - 1) = (-1)(-5) = 5]Since 5 is positive, the expression is positive in this interval.**Second interval: ( (-3, 1) )**Let's choose ( x = 0 ).[(0 + 3)(0 - 1) = (3)(-1) = -3]Since -3 is negative, the expression is negative in this interval.**Third interval: ( (1, infty) )**Let's choose ( x = 2 ).[(2 + 3)(2 - 1) = (5)(1) = 5]Since 5 is positive, the expression is positive in this interval.So, from this analysis, the expression ( (x+3)(x-1) ) is positive in the intervals ( (-infty, -3) ) and ( (1, infty) ).Wait a minute, but looking at the answer choices, they don't have -3 and 1 as the critical points. Instead, they have ( frac{1 - sqrt{13}}{2} ) and ( frac{1 + sqrt{13}}{2} ). Hmm, that's different. Did I make a mistake?Let me double-check. The expression is ( (x+3)(x-1) ). If I expand this, it becomes:[x^2 + 2x - 3]Wait, no, that's not correct. Let me do the multiplication again:[(x + 3)(x - 1) = x(x - 1) + 3(x - 1) = x^2 - x + 3x - 3 = x^2 + 2x - 3]Hmm, so the quadratic is ( x^2 + 2x - 3 ). But when I set it equal to zero, I get:[x^2 + 2x - 3 = 0]Using the quadratic formula:[x = frac{-2 pm sqrt{(2)^2 - 4(1)(-3)}}{2(1)} = frac{-2 pm sqrt{4 + 12}}{2} = frac{-2 pm sqrt{16}}{2} = frac{-2 pm 4}{2}]So, the roots are:[x = frac{-2 + 4}{2} = 1 quad text{and} quad x = frac{-2 - 4}{2} = -3]Wait, so my initial roots were correct. So why do the answer choices have different roots? Maybe I misread the problem. Let me check again.The problem says: Determine the intervals of ( x ) for which the expression ( (x+3)(x-1) ) is positive. The options are:A. ( left( frac{1 - sqrt{13}}{2}, frac{1 + sqrt{13}}{2} right) )B. ( left( -infty, frac{1 - sqrt{13}}{2} right) cup left( frac{1 + sqrt{13}}{2}, infty right) )C. ( left[ frac{1 - sqrt{13}}{2}, frac{1 + sqrt{13}}{2} right] )D. ( mathbb{R} )Hmm, so the roots in the options are ( frac{1 pm sqrt{13}}{2} ), which are approximately ( frac{1 - 3.6055}{2} approx -1.3027 ) and ( frac{1 + 3.6055}{2} approx 2.3027 ). But in my calculation, the roots are -3 and 1. That's a big difference.Wait, maybe I misread the expression. Let me check again: it's ( (x+3)(x-1) ). So, if I expand that, it's ( x^2 + 2x - 3 ). But the roots I found are correct: -3 and 1.But the answer choices have roots at approximately -1.3027 and 2.3027. That suggests that maybe the expression is different. Maybe it's ( (x+3)(x-1) ) but squared or something else? Or perhaps it's a different expression.Wait, let me check the problem again. It says: Determine the intervals of ( x ) for which the expression ( (x+3)(x-1) ) is positive. So, it's definitely ( (x+3)(x-1) ).But then why do the answer choices have different roots? Maybe I made a mistake in expanding. Let me try again.( (x + 3)(x - 1) = x^2 - x + 3x - 3 = x^2 + 2x - 3 ). That seems correct.Wait, but if the quadratic is ( x^2 + 2x - 3 ), then the roots are indeed -3 and 1. So, the expression is positive outside the interval (-3, 1), which would be ( (-infty, -3) cup (1, infty) ).But none of the answer choices have -3 and 1. Instead, they have ( frac{1 pm sqrt{13}}{2} ). So, perhaps there's a typo in the problem, or I'm misunderstanding something.Wait, maybe the expression is not ( (x+3)(x-1) ) but something else. Let me check the original problem again.It says: Determine the intervals of ( x ) for which the expression ( (x+3)(x-1) ) is positive. So, it's definitely ( (x+3)(x-1) ).Wait, unless the expression is ( (x + frac{3}{2})(x - frac{1}{2}) ), but that's not what's written. Hmm.Alternatively, maybe the expression is ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) but in the problem, it's written as ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ), but perhaps it's supposed to be ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) with some coefficient or something else.Wait, maybe I need to consider the expression ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) and set it greater than zero, so ( (x + 3)(x - 1) > 0 ). The critical points are -3 and 1, as I found.So, the solution should be ( x < -3 ) or ( x > 1 ), which is ( (-infty, -3) cup (1, infty) ).But the answer choices don't have -3 and 1. Instead, they have ( frac{1 pm sqrt{13}}{2} ). Let me calculate those values:( sqrt{13} approx 3.6055 )So, ( frac{1 - sqrt{13}}{2} approx frac{1 - 3.6055}{2} approx frac{-2.6055}{2} approx -1.3027 )And ( frac{1 + sqrt{13}}{2} approx frac{1 + 3.6055}{2} approx frac{4.6055}{2} approx 2.3027 )So, the answer choices are suggesting that the critical points are approximately -1.3027 and 2.3027, which are different from -3 and 1.This is confusing. Maybe I need to re-express the quadratic equation differently. Let me see.Wait, if the quadratic is ( x^2 + 2x - 3 ), then the roots are -3 and 1. But if the quadratic were ( x^2 - 2x - 3 ), the roots would be different. Let me check:( x^2 - 2x - 3 = 0 )Using quadratic formula:( x = frac{2 pm sqrt{4 + 12}}{2} = frac{2 pm sqrt{16}}{2} = frac{2 pm 4}{2} )So, ( x = 3 ) or ( x = -1 ). Still not matching the answer choices.Wait, maybe the quadratic is ( x^2 - x - 3 ). Let me check:( x^2 - x - 3 = 0 )Quadratic formula:( x = frac{1 pm sqrt{1 + 12}}{2} = frac{1 pm sqrt{13}}{2} )Ah, there we go! So, if the quadratic is ( x^2 - x - 3 ), then the roots are ( frac{1 pm sqrt{13}}{2} ), which matches the answer choices.But wait, the original expression is ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ), which expands to ( x^2 + 2x - 3 ), not ( x^2 - x - 3 ). So, there's a discrepancy here.Is it possible that the problem was written incorrectly? Or perhaps I misread the expression. Let me check again.The problem says: Determine the intervals of ( x ) for which the expression ( (x+3)(x-1) ) is positive.So, it's definitely ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ), which is ( x^2 + 2x - 3 ).But the answer choices are based on ( x^2 - x - 3 ). So, perhaps there's a typo in the problem, or maybe I'm misunderstanding the expression.Alternatively, maybe the expression is ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) but in the problem, it's written as ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ), but perhaps it's supposed to be ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) with some coefficient or something else.Wait, another thought: maybe the expression is ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) but in the problem, it's written as ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ), but perhaps it's supposed to be ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) with a negative sign, like ( -(x + 3)(x - 1) ). Let me check:If the expression were ( -(x + 3)(x - 1) ), then it would be ( -x^2 - 2x + 3 ), which is a downward opening parabola. The roots would still be -3 and 1, but the intervals where it's positive would be between -3 and 1.But that still doesn't match the answer choices.Alternatively, maybe the expression is ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) but in the problem, it's written as ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ), but perhaps it's supposed to be ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) with a coefficient, like ( 2(x + 3)(x - 1) ). But that would just scale the expression, not change the roots.Wait, perhaps the expression is ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) but in the problem, it's written as ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ), but perhaps it's supposed to be ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) with a different sign, like ( (x + 3)(1 - x) ). Let me check:( (x + 3)(1 - x) = -(x + 3)(x - 1) = -x^2 - 2x + 3 ), which is the same as before.Still, the roots are -3 and 1.I'm stuck here. The answer choices don't align with the expression given. Maybe I need to consider that the expression is ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) but in the problem, it's written as ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ), but perhaps it's supposed to be ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) with a different coefficient or something else.Alternatively, maybe the expression is ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) but in the problem, it's written as ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ), but perhaps it's supposed to be ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) with a different sign, like ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) is negative.Wait, but the problem says "positive," so that wouldn't make sense.Alternatively, maybe the expression is ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) but in the problem, it's written as ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ), but perhaps it's supposed to be ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) with a different variable, like ( y ), but that's not the case.Wait, another thought: maybe the expression is ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) but in the problem, it's written as ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ), but perhaps it's supposed to be ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) with a different exponent, like squared. Let me check:If the expression were ( (x + 3)^2(x - 1)^2 ), then it's always non-negative, but that's not the case here.Alternatively, maybe it's ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) but in the problem, it's written as ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ), but perhaps it's supposed to be ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) with a different sign, like ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) is negative.Wait, but the problem says "positive," so that wouldn't make sense.I'm really confused here. The expression given is ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ), which expands to ( x^2 + 2x - 3 ), with roots at -3 and 1. The answer choices are based on roots at ( frac{1 pm sqrt{13}}{2} ), which are approximately -1.3027 and 2.3027.So, unless there's a typo in the problem, I think the answer choices are incorrect. But since I have to choose from the given options, maybe I need to reconsider.Wait, perhaps the expression is ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) but in the problem, it's written as ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ), but perhaps it's supposed to be ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ) with a different coefficient, like ( 2(x + 3)(x - 1) ).

However, since I have to choose from the given options, I'll proceed with the assumption that the expression might have been different, perhaps ( x^2 - x - 3 ), which would give the roots in the answer choices.So, if the expression were ( x^2 - x - 3 ), then the roots are ( frac{1 pm sqrt{13}}{2} ), which are approximately -1.3027 and 2.3027. Then, the expression is positive outside the interval between these roots, so ( (-infty, frac{1 - sqrt{13}}{2}) cup (frac{1 + sqrt{13}}{2}, infty) ), which is option B.But I'm not entirely sure because the original expression is ( (x + 3)(x - 1) ), which doesn't match. However, given the answer choices, I think option B is the intended answer.

💡Okay, so I have this problem here: the sum of two numbers is 15, and their product is 36. I need to find the smaller number. Hmm, let me think about how to approach this.First, I remember that when dealing with two numbers and their sum and product, it often helps to set up some equations. Let me call the two numbers x and y. So, according to the problem, I can write two equations:1. x + y = 152. xy = 36Alright, so I have a system of equations here. I need to solve for x and y. Since I have two equations and two variables, I should be able to find the values of x and y.Looking at the first equation, x + y = 15, I can solve for one of the variables in terms of the other. Let me solve for y. If I subtract x from both sides, I get:y = 15 - xOkay, so now I have y expressed in terms of x. That means I can substitute this expression into the second equation, which is xy = 36. Let me do that.So, substituting y = 15 - x into xy = 36 gives:x(15 - x) = 36Let me expand this equation:15x - x² = 36Hmm, this looks like a quadratic equation. I can rearrange it to the standard quadratic form, which is ax² + bx + c = 0. So, let's move all terms to one side:-x² + 15x - 36 = 0Wait, usually, we like the coefficient of x² to be positive, so I'll multiply the entire equation by -1 to make it positive:x² - 15x + 36 = 0Alright, now I have a quadratic equation: x² - 15x + 36 = 0. I need to solve for x. I can use the quadratic formula, which is:x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)] / (2a)In this equation, a = 1, b = -15, and c = 36. Plugging these values into the quadratic formula:x = [-(-15) ± √((-15)² - 4*1*36)] / (2*1)x = [15 ± √(225 - 144)] / 2x = [15 ± √81] / 2x = [15 ± 9] / 2So, this gives me two possible solutions for x:x = (15 + 9)/2 = 24/2 = 12x = (15 - 9)/2 = 6/2 = 3Therefore, the two numbers are 12 and 3. Since the problem asks for the smaller number, the answer should be 3.Wait, let me double-check to make sure I didn't make any mistakes. If x = 12, then y = 15 - 12 = 3. And indeed, 12 * 3 = 36, which matches the product given. Similarly, if x = 3, then y = 15 - 3 = 12, and 3 * 12 = 36. So both solutions satisfy the original equations.I think that's correct. The smaller number is 3.

💡Okay, so I have this problem where there are 7 patients in a hospital, and they need to be assigned to 3 doctors. The patients are named Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey, and the doctors are Huey, Dewey, and Louie. The goal is to figure out how many ways we can assign each patient to exactly one doctor, with the condition that each doctor ends up with at least one patient. Alright, let me break this down. First, I think about the total number of ways to assign the patients to the doctors without any restrictions. Since each patient can go to any of the three doctors, it's like each patient has 3 choices. So for 7 patients, that would be 3 multiplied by itself 7 times, which is 3^7. Let me calculate that: 3^7 is 2187. So, there are 2187 total ways to assign the patients without any restrictions.But wait, the problem says each doctor must have at least one patient. That means we can't have a situation where all patients are assigned to just one or two doctors. So, I need to subtract those cases where one or more doctors end up with no patients.This sounds like a classic inclusion-exclusion problem. Inclusion-exclusion helps us count the number of elements in a union of overlapping sets by including and excluding the intersections appropriately. So, in this case, we'll need to subtract the cases where one doctor has no patients, then add back in the cases where two doctors have no patients (since we subtracted them twice), and so on.Let's start by calculating the number of assignments where at least one doctor has no patients. There are 3 doctors, so there are 3 ways to choose which doctor has no patients. If one doctor has no patients, then all 7 patients must be assigned to the remaining 2 doctors. For each such case, each patient has 2 choices, so the number of assignments is 2^7, which is 128. But wait, this includes the cases where all patients are assigned to just one of the two doctors, which we don't want because we need each doctor to have at least one patient. So, for each pair of doctors, we need to subtract the cases where all patients go to one doctor. There are 2 such cases for each pair (all to the first doctor or all to the second doctor). So, for each pair, the number of valid assignments is 2^7 - 2 = 128 - 2 = 126.Since there are 3 pairs of doctors (Huey and Dewey, Huey and Louie, Dewey and Louie), the total number of assignments where exactly two doctors have patients is 3 * 126 = 378.But wait, I think I might have messed up here. The inclusion-exclusion principle says that we need to subtract the cases where one doctor has no patients, but when we subtract these cases, we also subtract the cases where two doctors have no patients multiple times, so we need to add them back in. However, in this problem, the cases where two doctors have no patients are the cases where all patients are assigned to one doctor. There are 3 such cases (all to Huey, all to Dewey, all to Louie). So, we need to subtract these 3 cases as well.Putting it all together, the total number of valid assignments is the total number of assignments without restrictions minus the number of assignments where at least one doctor has no patients plus the number of assignments where two doctors have no patients. Wait, no, inclusion-exclusion works by subtracting the single overlaps and adding back the double overlaps. So, the formula should be:Total valid assignments = Total assignments - Assignments with at least one doctor having no patients + Assignments with at least two doctors having no patients.But actually, in inclusion-exclusion, it's:Total valid = Total - (sum of single exclusions) + (sum of double exclusions) - (sum of triple exclusions) + ... In this case, the single exclusions are the cases where one doctor has no patients, which we calculated as 3 * (2^7 - 2) = 378. The double exclusions are the cases where two doctors have no patients, which is 3 * 1 = 3 (since assigning all patients to one doctor means the other two have none). There are no triple exclusions because we can't have all three doctors with no patients.So, applying inclusion-exclusion:Total valid = 3^7 - 3 * (2^7 - 2) + 3 * 1Let me compute each part:3^7 = 21873 * (2^7 - 2) = 3 * (128 - 2) = 3 * 126 = 3783 * 1 = 3So, Total valid = 2187 - 378 + 3 = 2187 - 378 is 1809, plus 3 is 1812.Wait, that doesn't seem right because I think I might have misapplied the inclusion-exclusion formula. Let me double-check.Actually, the inclusion-exclusion formula for surjective functions (which this problem is about, since we want each doctor to have at least one patient) is given by:Number of surjective functions = Σ_{k=0}^{n} (-1)^k * C(n, k) * (n - k)^mWhere n is the number of codomains (doctors, which is 3) and m is the number of elements in the domain (patients, which is 7).So, plugging in the values:Number of surjective functions = C(3,0)*(3)^7 - C(3,1)*(2)^7 + C(3,2)*(1)^7 - C(3,3)*(0)^7Calculating each term:C(3,0)*(3)^7 = 1*2187 = 2187C(3,1)*(2)^7 = 3*128 = 384C(3,2)*(1)^7 = 3*1 = 3C(3,3)*(0)^7 = 1*0 = 0So, the formula becomes:2187 - 384 + 3 - 0 = 2187 - 384 is 1803, plus 3 is 1806.Ah, there we go. So, the correct number of valid assignments is 1806.I think I made a mistake earlier when I tried to apply inclusion-exclusion by subtracting the single exclusions and then adding back the double exclusions. The correct approach is to use the inclusion-exclusion formula for surjective functions, which alternates signs and uses combinations.So, to summarize:1. Calculate the total number of assignments without restrictions: 3^7 = 2187.2. Subtract the number of assignments where at least one doctor has no patients. This is calculated by C(3,1)*(2^7) = 3*128 = 384.3. Add back the number of assignments where at least two doctors have no patients. This is calculated by C(3,2)*(1^7) = 3*1 = 3.4. Subtract the number of assignments where all three doctors have no patients, which is 0.So, the final calculation is 2187 - 384 + 3 = 1806.Therefore, the number of ways to assign the 7 patients to the 3 doctors such that each doctor gets at least one patient is 1806.

💡First, I need to determine the cost of the individual food items for the meals Mr. Parker buys.For the 2 burger meals (for his wife and himself):- 2 burgers at 5 each = 10- 2 french fries at 3 each = 6- 2 soft drinks at 3 each = 6Total for 2 burger meals if bought individually = 10 + 6 + 6 = 22The cost of the 2 burger meals as a special meal deal is 9.50 each, so:2 burger meals at 9.50 each = 19For the 2 kids' meals:- 2 kids' burgers at 3 each = 6- 2 kids' juice boxes at 2 each = 4Let's denote the cost of kid's french fries as F dollars.Total for 2 kids' meals if bought individually = 6 + 2F + 4 = 10 + 2FThe cost of the 2 kids' meals as a meal deal is 5 each, so:2 kids' meals at 5 each = 10Now, I'll calculate the total savings by buying the 6 meals as meal deals:Total cost if bought individually = 22 (adult meals) + 10 + 2F (kids' meals)Total cost for meal deals = 19 (adult meals) + 10 (kids' meals)Mr. Parker saves 10 by buying the meal deals, so:Total cost if bought individually - Total cost for meal deals = Savings(22 + 10 + 2F) - (19 + 10) = 1032 + 2F - 29 = 102F + 3 = 102F = 10 - 32F = 7F = 7 / 2F = 3.50Therefore, the cost of kid's french fries is 3.50.
