X - pounds of the M&M`s;
y - pounds of the peanuts
x + y = 30
3 x + 2 y = 74
----------------------
y = 30 - x
3 x + 2 ( 30 - x ) = 74
3 x + 60 - 2 x = 74
x = 74 - 60
x = 14
Answer:
They bought 14 pounds of M&M`s.

What is the following quotient? 5/√11-√3
kati45 [8]

ANSWER

\frac{5( \sqrt{11}  +  \sqrt{3} )} {8}

EXPLANATION

The given rational function is

\frac{5}{ \sqrt{11} -  \sqrt{3}}

We need to rationalize the denominator by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of

\sqrt{11}  -  \sqrt{3}

which is

\sqrt{11}   +  \sqrt{3}

When we rationalize we obtain:

\frac{5( \sqrt{11}  +  \sqrt{3} )}{(\sqrt{11}  - \sqrt{3} )( \sqrt{11}  +  \sqrt{3} )}

The denominator is now a difference of two squares:

(a - b)(a + b) =  {a}^{2}  -  {b}^{2}

We apply this property to get

\frac{5( \sqrt{11}  +  \sqrt{3} )}{( \sqrt{11}) ^{2}    -  ( \sqrt{3}) ^{2}  )}

\frac{5( \sqrt{11}  +  \sqrt{3} )}{11   -  3}

This simplifies to

\frac{5( \sqrt{11}  +  \sqrt{3} )} {8}

Or

\frac{5 }  {8}\sqrt{11}  + \frac{5 }  {8}\sqrt{3}

2sin^2 2x=2<br><br> In the domain [0, 2pi)
djverab [1.8K]
Please type this as 2(sin 2x)^2=2      <span>2sin^2 2x=2 is confusing.

Reducing this expression:  (sin 2x)^2 = 1

Taking the sqrt of both sides, sin 2x = plus or minus 1

If sin 2x = 1, then 2x must be pi/2 or 3pi/2, and so x must be pi/4 or 3pi/4.

Now you do this for sin 2x = -1.</span>

Answer:

The correct choice is the third answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The arrow on top of the letters means that they would be parallel.  If you look closely at the diagram, you can see that both QR and TU go in the same direction and will never intersect.

Suppose ΔXYZ is given, and you want to construct ΔABC so that the triangles are congruent. Which constructions would guarantee t
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

A: constructing ΔABC so that AB ≅ XY, BC ≅ YZ, and CA ≅ ZX

C: constructing ΔABC so that AB ≅ XY, CA ≅ ZX, and ∠A ≅ ∠X

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the ways of constructing a triangle

- There are 3 ways to construct a triangle

# You must have length of one side and measures of two angles which

  are the endpoint of the side

# You must have a length of two sides and the measure of the including

  angle between the two sides

# You must have the length of the 3 sides

* Lets solve the problem

∵ Δ XYZ ≅ Δ ABC

∴ XY = AB , YZ = BC , ZX = CA

∴ m∠ X = m∠ A , m∠ Y = m∠ B , m∠ Z = m∠ C

- To construct Δ ABC You can use:

# The length of the 3 sides

∵ AB ≅ XY , BC ≅ YZ , CA ≅ ZX

∴ constructing ΔABC so that AB ≅ XY, BC ≅ YZ, and CA ≅ ZX ⇒ A

# The length of two sides and the measure of the including angle

∵ AB ≅ XY , CA = ZX

∵ The including angles between the sides are ∠A and ∠X

∴ constructing ΔABC so that AB ≅ XY, CA ≅ ZX, and ∠A ≅ ∠X ⇒ C

# The length of one side and the measures of two angles which are

   the endpoints of the side

∵ CA ≅ ZX

∵ The end points are C , A and Z , X

∴ constructing ΔABC so that CA ≅ ZX, ∠A ≅ ∠X, and ∠C ≅ ∠Z

- But this answer not in the choices

∴ The answer is A and C
