A hardware store mixes paints in a ratio of three parts blue to five parts red to make two gallons of cabbage red . A ratio of s

even parts blue to one part red makes two gallons of eggplant purple . A gallon of cabbage red sells for ​$22 ​, and a gallon of eggplant purple sells for ​$26 . Find the cost of 1 quart of blue paint and the cost of 1 quart of red paint.

3b+5r=2 gallons of cabbage red
1r+7b=2gallons of egplant

1 gallon of cabbage sells for 22 (means 2 gallos is 44)
1 gallon of egplant is 26 (means 2 gallons is 52)

3b+5r=44
r+7b=52

r+7b=52
miinus 7b from both sides
r=52-7b
sub 52-7b for r in othe equestion
3b+5(52-7b)=44
3b+260-35b=44
-32b+260=44
minus 260 from both sides
-32b=-216
divide both sides by -32
b=6.75

r=52-7b
r=52-7(6.75)
r=52-47.25
r=4.75


3blue+5r=2gallons
5+3=8
8units=2gallons
 4units=1gallon
1unit=1quart

therefor

1 quart of blue paint is $6.75
1 quart of red paint is $4.75

Mandy told Bill that she has read 16 books this year and reads 2 books each month. Bill wants to catch up to Mandy. He tracks hi
Lostsunrise [7]
We need to write equation for both mandy and bill on how many books they read depending on how many months passed.

Mandy's equation:
16 + 2x

she starts with 16 read books and she reads 2 books each month which is in total 2*x where x is number of months

Bill's equation:
4x
because from table we can see he is reading 4 new books each month.

now we need to make those 2 equations equal to eachother and solve for x because we want to see after how many months both will read the same that is why we set them equal.

16 + 2x = 4x
16 = 2x
x = 8

That means that in december he will catch her (if i counted months correctly :) )

. Suppose that the signal x(t) = 2e −t/3 + e −t + 3e −t/2 is measured in the presence of noise distributed uniformly in the inte
galben [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponentially decaying signal is of the form x(t) = Ce^(-αt) in terms of an initial value C and a decay rate α > 0. The signal equals a fraction 1/e of its initial value after the characteristic time scale t = 1/α.

Given

x(t) = 2e^(-t/3) + e^(-t) + 3e^(-t/2)

The decay rates are: 1/3, 1, and 1/2.

The slowest decay rate α is the minimum of {1/3, 1, 1/2} = 1/3.

The corresponding time scale

is only 2/3 times larger than the next faster decay rate 1/2, so the decay rates are NOT well separated. The slowest component is larger than 0.5 as long as t < (ln3)/0.5 ≈ 2.2.

The other two components add

up to more than the value of the slowest component. We conclude that the component with slowest decay rate dominates measurements on any interval even in the presence of noise.

Ramesh says that based on the pattern 7^-5 =-16,807 which statement explains were her Ramesh is correct?
fiasKO [112]

Ramesh is not correct because as the exponents decrease, the previous value is divided by 7 .

<u>Explanation:</u>

An exponent refers to the number of times a number is multiplied by itself. For example, 2 to the 3rd (written like this: 23) means: 2 x 2 x 2 = 8. 23 is not the same as 2 x 3 = 6. Remember that a number raised to the power of 1 is itself.

Exponents are superscript numerals that let you know how many times you should multiply a number by itself. Some real world applications include understanding scientific scales like the pH scale or the Richter scale, using scientific notation to write very large or very small numbers and taking measurements.
