Answer:

$2.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Let price of 1 bag of chips be x

Let price of 1 jar of dipping sauce be y

From the 1st statement, we can write:

5x + 4y = 21.82

From the 2nd statement, we can write:

4x + 3y = 16.86

We will multiply 1st equation by 4 and 2nd equation by -5 to get:

4(5x + 4y = 21.82) = 20x + 16 y = 87.28

-5(4x + 3y = 16.86) = -20x -15y = -84.30

Adding, we get:

20x + 16 y = 87.28

-20x -15y = -84.30

-----------------------------

y = 2.98

This is price of 1 jar of dipping sauce - $2.98

Explain the special pattern for sketching a parabola
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

the parabola can be written as:

f(x) = y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

first step.

find the vertex at:

x  = -b/2a

the vertex will be the point (-b/2a, f(-b/2a))

now, if a is positive, then the arms of the parabola go up, if a is negative, the arms of the parabola go down.

The next step is to see if we have real roots by using the Bhaskara's equation:

x =  \frac{-b +-\sqrt{b^2 -4ac} }{2a}

Now, draw the vertex, after that draw the values of the roots in the x-axis, and now conect the points with the general draw of the parabola.

If you do not have any real roots, you can feed into the parabola some different values of x around the vertex

for example at:

x =  (-b/2a) + 1 and x =  (-b/2a) - 1

those two values should give the same value of y, and now you can connect the vertex with those two points.

If you want a more exact drawing, you can add more points (like x =  (-b/2a) + 3 and x =  (-b/2a) - 3) and connect them, as more points you add, the best sketch you will have.
