Answer:

Potato price = $1.5 / pound ; Carrot price = $1.75 / pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Let price of carrot per pound = c

Let price of potatoes per pound = p

Given :

2c + 3p  = 8   (eqtn A)

4c + 4p = 13 (eqtn B)

Multiplying eqtn A by 2 ;

4c + 6p = 16

4c = 16 - 6p (eqtn Y)

By eqtn B ;

4c = 13 - 4p (eqtn Z)

By eqtn Y & Z ;

16 - 6p = 13 - 4p

16 - 13 = - 4p + 6p

3 = 2p

p = 3 /2

p = 1.5 [Potato price]

Putting p value in eqtn A

2c + 3 (1.5) = 8

2c + 4.5 = 8

2c = 8 - 4.5

2c = 3.5

c = 3.5 / 2

c = 1.75 [Carrot Price]

consider the exponential function g(x)=100 x (2). which of the following situations could be modeled by the function?
daser333 [38]
The initial value of 100 that doubles over each interval.
without the answer choices, I can only describe it and give you an example of the graph. 
I'm assuming the function is 100*(2)^x because if it is as listed it would be a quadratic function with a vertical stretch of 100.

I=increase P=population

solve k

d=23,000

t=2000

d=2.3e^

divide both sides by 2
