Part A.
Before you can write any sort of expression, you need to define variables. "grapes g" is not a definition, so the exercise seems meaningless as written. It seems the intent is to ...
let g, b, p represent the numbers of pounds of grapes, bananas, and pears, respectively.
Then, the total cost of some weight of fruit is
2.19g + 0.59b + 1.49p
Part B.
For g=3, b=3, p=2, the expression evaluates to
2.19*3 +0.59*3 +1.49*2 = 11.32
The total cost of 3 pounds of grapes, 3 pounds of bananas, and 2 pounds of pears is ...
$11.32
Answer:
x=7, x= -2
Step-by-step explanation:
- Start by putting the whole equation to one side: x2-5x=14 ----> x2-5x-14=0
- Next, factor the equation: x,x -7,2 ----> (x-7)(x+2)=0
- Now, solve both equations: x-7=0....x=7 AND x+2=0.....x= -2
- Plug both in to make sure that they are correct....both are correct
Check the picture below.
now, keep in mind that ship B is going at 20kph, thus from noon to 4pm, is 4 hours, so it has travelled by then 20 * 4 or 80 kilometers, thus b = 80.
whilst the ship B is moving north, the distance "a" is not really changing, and thus is a constant, that matters because the derivative of a constant is 0.
8 - 15 means subtract the positive number 15 from 8.
8 - 15 = 8 + (-15) = -7
8 - (-15) means subtract the negative number -15 from 8.
Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number.
8 - (-15) = 8 + 15 = 23
8 - 15 = -7, and 8 - (-15) = 23. The expressions mean different operations and have different answers.
A segment? ????? Not so sure about that one
