Let l, t, b represent the numbers of lions, tigers, bears, respectively.

2l +3t +3b = 156 . . . . . . . 156 meals per day are supplied
l +t = 3b . . . . . . . . . . . . . . there are 3 times as many great cats as bears
l +t +b = 68 . . . . . . . . . . . there are a total of 68 animals

_____
The last 2 equations tell you
.. 4b = 68
.. b = 17
Subtracting 3 times the last equation from the first gives
.. -l = -48
There are 48 lions, 3 tigers, and 17 bears.

Let L = number of lions
Let T = number of tigers
Let B = number of bears

If one lion eats 2 meals per day, then L number of lions eat 2L meals per day.
Tigers eat 3T meals per day, and bears eat 3B meals per day.

In one day, all animals combined ate 156 meals.

That gives us our first equation.

2L + 3T + 3B = 156

The lions and tigers are considered great cats. The bears are not cats.
There are 3 times as many great cats as bears.
This gives us our second equation.

L + T = 3B

In all there are 68 animals in the zoo.
From here we get our third equation.

L + T + B = 68

Our system of equations is:

2L + 3T + 3B = 156
L + T = 3B
L + T + B = 68

Now we solve the system of equations.

Subtract the second equation from the third equation.

B = -3B + 68

4B = 68

B = 17

Substitute B = 17 into the first and second equations.

2L + 3T + 3B = 156

2L + 3T + 3(17) = 156

2L + 3T + 51 = 156

2L + 3T = 105      New Equation A

L + T = 3B

L + T = 3(17)

L + T = 51   Equation B

Equations A and B have only two variables, so we can solve them as a system of two equations in two unknowns.

2L + 3T = 105
L + T = 51

Rewrite equation A. Multiply Equation B by -2 and write underneath Equation A. Then add the equations.

       2L + 3T = 105
+    -2L - 2T = -102
-------------------------
                T = 3

Now use B = 17 and T = 3 in the original third equation to solve for L.

L + T + B = 68

L + 3 + 17 = 68

L + 20 = 68

L = 48

Answer: There are 48 lions, 3 tigers, and 17 bears

Check:
"Lions eat 2 meals per day, tigers and bears eat 3 meals each per day."
Number of meals:
2 * 48 + 3 * 3 + 3 * 17 = 96 + 9 + 51 = 156

"There are 3 times as many great cats in the zoo as bears."
48 + 3 = 51, and 51 is 3 times 17

"There are 68 animals in the zoo."
48 + 3 + 17 = 68

All statements are satisfied by our solution, so the answer above is correct.

Which of the following functions best represents the graph?
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

f(x)=x^3+x^2-4x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph, the x-intercepts are;

x=-2

x=-1

x=2

These are root of the polynomial function represented by the given graph.

By the remainder theorem;

f(-2)=0,f(-1)=0,f(2)=0

According to the factor theorem, if (x-a) is a factor of f(x), then f(a)=0

This implies that;

(x+2),(x+1),(x-2) are factors of the required function.

Hence; f(x)=(x+1)(x-2)(x+2)

We expand using difference of two squares to obtain;

f(x)=(x+1)(x^2-4)

We expand using the distributive property to get;

f(x)=x^3-4x+x^2-4

Rewrite in standard form to obtain;

f(x)=x^3+x^2-4x-4

Let B be the basis of P3 consisting of the Hermite polynomials in Exercise 21, and let p.t / D 7 ! 12t ! 8t 2 C 12t 3. Find the
Anastasy [175]

To calculate the relative vector of B we have to:

P_B=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3\\3\\-2\\3/2\end{array}\right]

The coordenates of:

p(t)= 12t^3-8t^2-12t+7, with respect to B satisfy:

C_1(1)+C_2(2t)+C_3(-2+4t^2)+C_4(-12t+8t^3)= 7-12t-8t^2+12t^3

Equating coefficients of like powers of t produces the system of equation:

\left \{ {C_1-2C_3=7} \atop {2C_2-12C_4=-12} \right. \\\left \{ {{4C_3=-8} \atop {8C_4=12}} \right.

After solving this system, we have to:

C_1=3\\C_2= 3\\C_3= -2\\C_4= \frac{3}{2}

And the result is:

P_B=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3\\3\\-2\\3/2\end{array}\right]

11x+6y=-48 slope intercept
lesya [120]

Answer:

y = -11/6x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Solve for y</u>

11x + 6y = -48

11x + 6y - 11x = -48 - 11x

6y / 6 = (-48 - 11x) / 6

y = -8 - 11/6x

Answer:  y = -11/6x - 8
