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]

-1/2(-3y+10) i need help combining like terms to create a equivelent expression
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

1.5y - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

I used the distributive approach and distributed -1/2 to the -3y and 10.

(If you try this and it's incorrect, you may just need to distribute -1/2 to the 10, creating -3y - 5.)

Show all work to identify the asymptotes and state the end behavior of the function f(x)=5x/x-25
Nina [5.8K]

Using the asymptote concept, it is found that:

  • The vertical asymptote is of x = 25.
  • The horizontal asymptote is of y = 5.
  • Considering the horizontal asymptote, it is found that the end behavior of the function is that it tends to y = 5 to the left and to the right of the graph.

<h3>What are the asymptotes of a function f(x)?</h3>

  • The vertical asymptotes are the values of x which are outside the domain, which in a fraction are the zeroes of the denominator.
  • The horizontal asymptote is the value of f(x) as x goes to infinity, as long as this value is different of infinity.

In this problem, the function is:

f(x) = \frac{5x}{x - 25}

Considering the denominator, the vertical asymptote is:

x - 25 = 0 -> x = 25.

The horizontal asymptote is found as follows:

y = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{5x}{x - 25} = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{5x}{x} = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} 5 = 5

Hence the end behavior of the function is that it tends to y = 5 to the left and to the right of the graph.
