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]

Which value of x is in the domain of f(t) = squared x - 7
zloy xaker [14]

Given:

The given function is:

f(x)=\sqrt{x-7}

To find:

The value of x that is in the domain.

Solution:

Domain is the set of input values.

We have,

f(x)=\sqrt{x-7}

We know that the square root is defined for non negative values. So,

x-7\geq 0

x\geq 0+7

x\geq 7

Thus, the domain of the given function is all real number that are greater than or equal to 7.

In the given options 0, -3, 6 are less than 7 but 8 in option A is the only value that is greater than 7. So, x=8 is in the domain of the given function.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Which of the following methods would be the easiest to use to solve x2 + 5x – 6 = 0?
EastWind [94]
For me personally, the easiest way to do this is by isolating the x² term, and finding the square root of both sides. The hardest way (well actually, the longest way) would be to use the quadratic formula. It just complicates things unnecessarily.
