Answer:

  4 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the pounds of bananas Mrs. Davis bought. The weight of strawberries would be (7-b) and their cost would be 4×0.50 = 2.00 per pound. Her total purchase was ...

  0.50b + 2.00(7 -b) = 8.00

  -1.50b +14 = 8 . . . . simplify

  6 = 1.50b . . . . . . add 1.50b -8

  4 = b . . . . . . . . divide by 1.50

Mrs. Davis bought 4 pounds of bananas.

A hydro company is laying down power lines in the ground. They have two sections of cable so far that are 325.0 m and 430.0 m lo
Hoochie [10]

The length of extra cable that is required to connect the two pieces of existing cable is equal to 182 meters.

<h3>How to determine the length of extra cable?</h3>

In order to determine the length of extra cable that is required to connect the two pieces of existing cable, we would apply the law of cosine as follows:

B² = A² + C² - 2(A)(C)cosB

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

B² = 325.0² + 430.0² - 2(325.0)(430.0)cos23

B² = 105,625 + 184,900 - 279,500(0.9205)

B² = 290,525 - 257,279.75

B² = 33,245.25

B = √33,245.25

B = 182.33 ≈ 182 meters.

Are negative slopes steeper than positive slopes
olchik [2.2K]
A higher positive slope means a steeper upward tilt to the curve, which you can see at higher output levels. A negative slope that is larger in absolute value (that is, more negative) means a steeper downward tilt to the line.
