Jelly beans - $0.98 per pound
chocolate drops - $0.67 per pounds
Terri's bag = 2.1 pounds and $1.56

p = represents the pounds jelly beans.
c = represents the pounds in chocolate drops

p + c  = 2.1
0.98p + 0.67c = 1.56

c = 2.1 - p  ; number of pounds of chocolate drops

0.98p + 0.67(2.1 - p) = 1.56
0.98p + 1.41 - 0.67p = 1.56
0.98p - 0.67p = 1.56 - 1.41
0.31p = 0.15
p = 0.15/0.31
p = 0.48 pounds of jelly beans

c = 2.1 - 0.48
c = 1.62 pounds of chocolate drops.

A 13?-foot board is cut into two pieces. The longer piece is 7.5 feet longer than the shorter piece. What is the length of each?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The smaller board would be 2.75 feet and the longer one would be 10.25 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, assume the shorter board is equal to x. Next, we would know that the longer board would be equal to x + 7.5. Using these two assumptions, we can add the lengths together, set equal to 13 and then solve for x.

x + (x + 7.5) = 13

2x + 7.5 = 13

2x = 5.5

x = 2.75

Now that we have the length of the shorter board, we can add 7.5 to it to get the larger one.

2.75 + 7.5 = 10.25

-5(x - 1) greater than -40
sergey [27]

Answer:

x < 9  

Step-by-step explanation:

Writing this entirely with symbols, we get:

-5(x - 1) > -40

We must solve for x.  

Carrying out the multiplication, we get:

-5x + 5 > -40, or

-5x > -45

Dividing both sides by -5 isolates x:

x < 9  

Note that when working with an inequality such as this one, dividing both sides by a negative number requires changing the direction of the inequality symbol.

If f(x) = x3 and g(x) = (x + 1)3, which is the graph of g(x)?
ale4655 [162]
As you can see below, in red is <span>g(x) = (x + 1)^3 and in blue is f(x)=x^3. Adding 1 to x moves the graph to the left by 1. 

Hope this was the answer you were looking for and I hope you have a great day!

Suppose that f is a sine function ... look at the picture
Triss [41]

Answer:

f(3π/4) = -π

A = π

b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the function follows the form: f(x) = A sin(bx), then f(0) = 0. Given that the period is π, then at x = π/4 the function reaches a maimum, at x = π/2, f(x) = 0, and at x = 3π/4, f(x) reaches a minimum, which have to be π*(-1) = -π

Given the general equation: f(x) = A sin(bx), its period is calculated as:

period = 2π/b

which is equal to π, then:

2π/b = π

b = 2

Replacing x = π/4 into the equation of the function, we get:

A sin(2(π/4)) = π

A sin(π/2) = π

A = π
