Mike and his friends bought cheese wafers for $2 per packet and chocolate wafers for $1 per packet at a carnival. They spent a t

otal of $25 to buy a total of 20 packets of wafers of the two varieties.
Part A: Write a system of equations that can be solved to find the number of packets of cheese wafers and the number of packets of chocolate wafers that Mike and his friends bought at the carnival. Define the variables used in the equations. (5 points)

Part B: How many packets of chocolate wafers and cheese wafers did they buy? Explain how you got the answer and why you selected a particular method to get the answer. (5 points)

A. 2x+y=25; x+y=20
x represents cheese wafers and y represents chocolate wafers.

B. I will choose elimination since there is y and y. I can multiply one equation by -1 to get y and -y, which cancels out.
2x+y=25
-x-y=-20

Add equations
x=5

Plug x in
5+y=20
y=15

Final answer: 5 cheese wafers, 15 chocolate wafers

The third term in an arithmetic sequence is 10 and the fifth term is 26.If the first term is a1,which is an equation for the nth
dexar [7]
Just plug in 3 for n and then 5 for n to see if an turns out to be 10 and 26.

n=3:
A) an = 8*3+10 = 34
B) an = 8*3 - 14 = 10  OK
C) an = 16*3+10 = 58
D) an = 16*3 - 38 = 10 OK

n=5:
B) an = 8*5-14 = 26 OK
D) an = 16*5 - 38 = 42

So the answer is B

Find the​ P-value for the indicated hypothesis test with the given standardized test​ statistic, z. Decide whether to reject H0
Leviafan [203]

Answer: We do not reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • When the p-value is greater than the significance level , then we do not reject the null hypothesis or if p-value is smaller than the significance level , then we reject the null hypothesis.

Given : Test statistic : z = -2.28

Significance level : \alpha=0.02

By using the standard normal distribution table ,

The p-value corresponds to the given test statistic ( two tailed ):-

2P(Z>|z|)=2P(Z>2.28)=0.0226

Since the p-value is greater than the significance level of 0.02.

Then , we do not reject the null hypothesis.

How would you do number 12 and 15?
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

x_1=x_2=-\dfrac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

For the quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c=0 the discriminant is defined as

D=b^2-4ac

and the quadratic formula for the roots gives us two roots:

x_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt{D}}{2a}

and

x_2=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt{D}}{2a}

For the equation 9x^2 +12x+4=0 use quadratic formula to find roots:

D=12^2-4\cdot 9\cdot 4=144-144=0

So,

x_1=x_2=\dfrac{-12\pm \sqrt{0}}{2\cdot 9}=-\dfrac{12}{18}=-\dfrac{2}{3}
