<span>Let P be the cost per pound of peanuts. Let M be the cost per pound of M&M's. We can set up two equations to solve this question. (1) 8P + 5M = 55.27 (2) 6P + 4M = 42.70 Let's multiply equation (1) by 3. Let's multiply equation (2) by 4. (1) 24P + 15M = 165.81 (2) 24P + 16M = 170.80 Let's subtract equation (1) from equation (2). M = 4.99 Let's put M = 4.99 in equation (2) to find P. 6P + 4(4.99) = 42.70 6P = 42.70 - 19.96 6P = 22.74 P = 22.74 / 6 P = 3.79 The cost per pound of peanuts is $3.79 The cost per pound of M&M's is $4.99</span>

The length plus the width of a rectangle is 10. Let x represent the length. The equation for the area y of the
yuradex [85]

Answer:

length of rectangle = 5

width of rectangle = 5

Area of rectangle = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the length of the rectangle is "x", and the value of the area is given by the product of the length "x" times the width "10-x", indeed, the area "y" of the rectangle is given by the equation:

y=x\,(10-x)=10x-x^2

Now, they tell us that the area of the rectangle is such that coincides with the maximum (vertex) of the parabola this quadratic expression represents. So in order to find the dimensions of the rectangle and therefore its area, we find the x-coordinate for the vertex, and from it, the y-coordinate of the vertex, which is the rectangle's actual area.

Recall that the formula for the x of the vertex of a quadratic of the form :

y=ax^2+bx+c

is given by the formula:

x_{vertex}=-\frac{b}{2\,a}

which in our case gives:

x_{vertex}=-\frac{b}{2\,a}\\x_{vertex}=-\frac{10}{2\,(-1)}\\x_{vertex}=5

Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 5, and its width (10-x) is also 5.

The area of the rectangle is therefore the product of these two values: 5 * 5 = 25

Which should coincide with the value we obtain when we replace x by 5 in the area formula:

y=10x-x^2\\y=50-(5)^2\\y=50-25\\y=25

Which equation correctly describes the relationship between the measures of the angle and arcs formed by the intersecting secant
marishachu [46]
Angle m∠1 if formed by a tangent and  secant intersecting outside of circle. The intercepted arcs are arc LK and arc JK.
Thus;
Angle formed by Tangent and secant 
=1/2(DIFFERENCE of Intercepted Arcs)
m∠1=1/2(mJK-LK)

Answer: m∠1=1/2(mJK-KL)
