Answer:

The total \frac{3}{8} lb flour is used to make brownies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x lb flour is used to make brownies.

She used 1/4 pound more flour to make cookies than to make brownies. So, the total flour is used to make cookies is

x+\frac{1}{4}

she used 1/8 lb less flour to make the bread then to make the cookies. So, the total flour is used to make bread is

x+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{8}

It is given that she used a half pound of flour to make bread.

x+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1}{2}

x+\frac{2-1}{8}=\frac{1}{2}

\frac{8x+1}{8}=\frac{1}{2}

8x+1=4

8x=3

x=\frac{3}{8}

Therefore total \frac{3}{8} lb flour is used to make brownies.

I need graph help plz ​
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

x-intercepts of the graph → x = 0, 6

Maximum value of the graph → f(x) = 120

Part B

Increasing in the interval → 0 ≤ x ≤ 3

Decreasing in the interval → 3 < x ≤ 6

As the price of goods increase in the interval [0, 3], profit increases.

But in the price interval of (3, 6] profit of the company decreases.

Part C

Average rate of change of a function 'f' in the interval of x = a and x = b is given by,

Average rate of change = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

Therefore, average rate of change of the function in the interval x = 1 and x = 3 will be,

Average rate of change = \frac{f(3)-f(1)}{3-1}

                                         = \frac{120-60}{3-1}

                                         = 30

What two numbers add to 9 and multiply to -70
Alborosie
X, y - the numbers

The numbers add to 9 and multiply to -70.
x+y=9 \\&#10;xy=-70 \\ \\&#10;y=9-x \\&#10;xy=-70 \\ \\&#10;\hbox{substitute 9-x for y in the second equation:} \\&#10;x(9-x)=-70 \\&#10;9x-x^2=-70 \\&#10;-x^2+9x+70=0 \\&#10;-x^2+14x-5x+70=0 \\&#10;-x(x-14)-5(x-14)=0 \\&#10;(-x-5)(x-14)=0 \\&#10;-x-5=0 \ \lor \ x-14=0 \\&#10;x=-5 \ \lor \ x=14 \\ \\&#10;y=9-x \\&#10;y=9-(-5) \ \lor \ y=9-14 \\&#10;y=14 \ \lor \ y=-5 \\ \\&#10;(x,y)=(-5,14) \hbox{ or } (x,y)=(14,-5)

The numbers are -5 and 14.
