A fruit stand has to decide what to charge for their produce. They need \$10$10dollar sign, 10 for 4 apples and 4 oranges. They

also need $12 for 6 apples and 6 oranges. We put this information into a system of linear equations.
Can we find a unique price for an apple and an orange?

Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

The prices are inconsistent, so there is no unique price that can be set for either an apple or an orange that will give the total prices indicated.

__

The first relation can be written as ...

  $10 = 4A +4O

  $10 = 4(A +O) . . . . factor out 4

  $2.50 = A +O . . . . divide by 4

The second relation can be written as ...

  $12 = 6A +6O

  $12 = 6(A +O) . . . . factor out 6

  $2 = A +O . . . . . . . divide by 6

These two relations give different prices for 1 apple and 1 orange. There is no price that can be set for either fruit that will give this result.

No unique prices can be assigned.

If f(x) = 3x and g(x) = 3x + 1 + 6. Describe the transformations from f(x) to g(x).
d1i1m1o1n [39]
The parent function for quadratic equations is as followed:

y=a(bx-h)+k

where a and b represent vertical and horizontal stretches, respectively, h is the horizontal shift, and k is the vertical shift.

So going from (3x)^2 to (3x+1)^2+6,

We are shifting 1 to the left and 6 up.

The horizontal shift is in the negative direction because in the equation, h=-1 because:

(x-(-1))^2=(x+1)^2

The answer is A.

For each line, state its slope and its y-intercept. 6y-2x=15
JulsSmile [24]
Again same here, isolate the y variable to get it in y=mx+b form

6y=2x+15 divide by 6 to isolate the y and your equation is...

y=1/3x+15/6. Or 15/6 can be simplified to 5/2.

An open box is made from an 8 by ten-inch rectangular piece of cardboard by cutting squares from each corner and folding up the
natka813 [3]

Please find the attachment.

Let x represent the side length of the squares.

We have been given that an open box is made from an 8 by ten-inch rectangular piece of cardboard by cutting squares from each corner and folding up the sides. We are asked to find the volume of the box.

The side of box will be 8-x-x=8-2x and 10-x-x=10-2x.

The height of the box will be x.

The volume of box will be area of base times height.

\text{Volume of box}=(8-2x)(10-2x)\cdot x

Now we will use FOIL to simplify our expression.

\text{Volume of box}=(80-16x-20x+4x^2)\cdot x

\text{Volume of box}=(80-36x+4x^2)\cdot x

Now we will distribute x.

\text{Volume of box}=80x-36x^2+4x^3

V(x)=80x-36x^2+4x^3

Therefore, the volume of the box would be V(x)=80x-36x^2+4x^3.
