Carol sold 1/4 as many magazines as Tom. If together they sold 35 magazines, how many did each sell?

1 answer:

3 0

C=carol
t=tom

carol sold 1/4 of tom
c=1/4t
c=t/4

together they sold 35
c+t=35
subsitute t/4 for c
t/4+t=35
multiply both sides by 4
t+4t=140
5t=140
divide both sides by 5
t=28

sub back

c=t/4
c=28/4
c=7

carol sold 7
tom sold 28

What does x and y equal

GaryK [48]

Answer:

x=5, y=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

we can find the answer by plugging in x=3y+14 to the second equation

5(3y+14)-2y=31

simplify

15y+70-2y=31

13y=-39

y=-3

now, plug in this to the initial equation x=3y+14

x=3(-3)+14

x=-9+14

x=5

If a simple harmonic motion is described by x = 3 cos(πt), starting from t = 0 s, what is the first occurrence of a value of t f

poizon [28]

Answer:

The first occurence of t for which x = 0 is t = 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The harmonic motion is described by the following equation.

$x(t) = 3\cos{\pi t}$

What is the first occurrence of a value of t for which x = 0?

This is t when $x(t) = 0$ . So

$x(t) = 3\cos{\pi t}$

$3\cos{\pi t} = 0$

$\cos{\pi t} = \frac{0}{3}$

$\cos{\pi t} = 0$

The inverse of the cosine is the arcosine. So we apply the arcosine function to both sides of the equality.

$\arccos{\cos{\pi t}} = \arccos{0}$

$\pi t = \frac{\pi}{2}$

$t = \frac{\pi}{2 \pi}$

$t = \frac{1}{2}$

$t = 0.5$

The first occurence of t for which x = 0 is t = 0.5.
