\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{lb}{amount}&\stackrel{lb}{price}&\stackrel{total}{price}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{6 per lb coffee}&x&6&6x\\
\textit{3.5 per lb coffee}&y&3.5&3.5y\\
-------&------&------&------\\
mixture&25&5.25&131.25
\end{array}

same as before, we add the 1st and 3rd columns, since the mixture is just the sum of the elements above it.

\bf \begin{cases}
x+y=25\implies \boxed{y}=25-x\\
6x+3.5y=131.25\\
----------\\
6x+3.5\left( \boxed{25-x} \right)=131.25
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
6x+87.5-3.5x=131.25\implies 2.5x=131.25-87.5
\\\\\\
2.5x=43.75\implies x=\cfrac{43.75}{2.5}\implies x=17.5

how many lbs will it be of the 3.50 per lb coffee?  well, y = 25 -x.

Find the missing dimension of the cylinder. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

97.7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by the equation

V=\pi r^2 h

where:

r is the radius of the cylinder

h is the height of the cylinder

V is the volume

In this problem, we know that the volume of the cylinder is

V=600,000 cm^3

Here we are not given the height; here, let's assume it is

h = 20 cm

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to find the missing dimension, which is the radius of the cylinder:

r=\sqrt{\frac{V}{\pi h}}=\sqrt{\frac{600,000}{\pi (20)}}=97.7 cm

Herr is a balance hanger diagram a circle has a mass of three grams and a square has a mass of two grams which is the mass of th
Naily [24]

The hanger diagram ideally should be in balance with all the shapes hung on it.

On the left side, it shows that the circles are 9 grams and the squares are 12 grams. The triangles are 2t grams. Therefore, on the left side we have,

9 + 12 + 2t

On the right side, it shows the circles are 6 grams and the squares are 6 grams, while the triangles are 5t grams. Therefore on the right side we have

6 + 6 + 5t.

For the hanger to be in balance, we should have

Given f(x) = 4x^4 find f^-1(x) Then state whether f^-1(x) is a function.
sdas [7]

Answer:

  • f^{-1}(x)=\pm\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{x}{4}}
  • f^{-1}(x) \quad\text{is not a function}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse function, solve for y:

x=f(y)\\\\x=4y^4\\\\\dfrac{x}{4}=y^4\\\\\pm\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{x}{4}}=y\\\\f^{-1}(x)=\pm\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{x}{4}}

f(x) is an even function, so f(-x) = f(x). Then the inverse relation is double-valued: for any given y, there can be either of two x-values that will give that result.

___

A function is single-valued. That means any given domain value maps to exactly one range value. The test of this is the "vertical line test." If a vertical line intersects the graph in more than one point, then that x-value maps to more than one y-value.

The horizontal line test is similar. It is used to determine whether a function has an inverse function. If a horizontal line intersects the graph in more than one place, the inverse relation is not a function.

__

Since the inverse relation for the given f(x) maps every x to two y-values, it is not a function. You can also tell this by the fact that f(x) is an even function, so does not pass the horizontal line test. When f(x) doesn't pass the horizontal line test, f^-1(x) cannot pass the vertical line test.

_____

The attached graph shows the inverse relation (called f₁(x)). It also shows a vertical line intersecting that graph in more than one place.
