Answer:

The number of pounds of cashew is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P represent the peanut

Let C represent the cashew nut.

From question, we were told that Elijah brought a total of 16 pounds of peanuts and cashew nuts. This can be written as:

P + C = 16 (1)

The total cost = $49.50

Cost per peanut = $2.75

Cost per cashew = $3.25

The above can be represented as:

49.50 = 2.75P + 3.25C. (2)

From equation 1,

P + C = 16

P = 16 — C

Substitute the value of P into equation 2:

49.50 = 2.75P + 3.25C.

49.50 = 2.75(16 — C) + 3.25C

49.50 = 44 — 2.75C + 3.25C

49.50 = 44 + 0.5C

Collect like terms

49.50 — 44 = 0.5C

5.5 = 0.5C

Divide both side by 0.5

C = 5.5/0.5

C = 11

Therefore, the number of pounds of cashew is 11

Which best describes the meaning of the statement if A then B
Oliga [24]

Answer:

a => b   \equiv   ( \neg a   \ \lor   \ b )

Step-by-step explanation:

You can understand the statement from many perspectives, but in terms of proposition logic it is best to understand it as   "negation of a" or "  b" in mathematical terms is written like this

a => b   \equiv   ( \neg a   \ \lor   \ b )

You can show that they are logically equivalent because they have the same truth table.

Test the set of polynomials for linear independence. If it is linearly dependent, express one of the polynomials as a linear com
aliina [53]

Answer:

The set of polynomial  is Linearly Independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - {f(x) =7 + x, g(x) = 7 +x^2, h(x)=7 - x + x^2} in P^2

To find - Test the set of polynomials for linear independence.

Definition used -

A set of n vectors of length n is linearly independent if the matrix with these vectors as columns has a non-zero determinant.

The set is dependent if the determinant is zero.

Solution -

Given that,

f(x) =7 + x,

g(x) = 7 +x^2,

h(x)=7 - x + x^2

Now,

We can also write them as

f(x) = 7 + 1.x + 0.x²

g(x) = 7 + 0.x + 1.x²

h(x) = 7 - 1.x + 1.x²

Now,

The coefficient matrix becomes

A = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}7&1&0\\7&0&1\\7&-1&1\end{array}\right]

Now,

Det(A) = 7(0 + 1) - 1(7 - 7) + 0

           = 7(1) - 1(0)

           = 7 - 0 = 7

⇒Det(A) = 7 ≠ 0

As the determinant is non- zero ,

So, The set of polynomial  is Linearly Independent.
