A local high school held a two-day fundraiser selling lunches. The equations shown represent the amount of money the school coll

ected during the two days. {12x + 4y = 15232x + 12y = 420 In the equations, x represents the cost of a chicken lunch and y represents the cost of a vegetarian lunch. Which is the cost of the vegetarian lunch?

Answer:

  11

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equations appear to be ...

  • 12x +4y = 152
  • 32x +12y = 420

These can be solved for y using Cramer's rule:

  y = (152(32) -420(12))/(4(32) -12(12)) = -176/-16 = 11

The cost of the vegetarian lunch is 11.

_____

<em>Comment on Cramer's Rule</em>

For equations ...

  ax +by =c

  dx +ey = f

The solutions are ...

  x = (bf -ey)/(bd -ea)

  y = (cd -fa)/(bd -ea) . . . . note the denominators are the same expression

Once you memorize the pattern of products, this can be the simplest way to solve a pair of equations--especially if you only need one of the variable values.

The graph of an equation with a negative discriminant always has which characteristic?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The graph does not intercept the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

When the discriminant is positive, it means that in the quadratic equation, you <em>can</em> take the square root of this number and end up with two distinct solutions, one negative and one positive. The graph will intercept the x-axis twice.

When the discriminant is zero, it means that you won't be taking the square root of any number in the quadratic equation and you'll end up with two solutions that are equal, or just one distinct solution. The graph will intercept the x-axis once.

When the discriminant is negative, it means that the quadratic has no real solutions, meaning that it does not intercept the x-axis. It is impossible to take the square root of a negative number.

I hope this helps!

Find two consecutive whole numbers that the square root of 105 lies between
erastovalidia [21]

Answer: 10 and 11, also -11 and -10

Sqrt 100 is well known to be 10

Sqrt 121 is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Positive Sqrt is monotone increasing

So Sqrt 105 is between sqrt 100 and sqrt 121


Second answer

Sqrt 100 is less well known to also be -10

Negative sqrt is monotone decreasing

Sqrt 121 is also -11

Sqrt 105 is also between -121 and -100
