Let us assume that cost of each granola bar be $x and that of a cup of yogurt be $y  
From person A's purchase, we get  
12x + 7y = 15.5; equation A  
And from person B's purchase, 
6x + 11y = 11.5; equation B  
Let us multiply equation B by 2 and subtracting equation A from it, we will get  
12x + 22y - 12x - 7y = 23 - 15.5,  
=> 15y = 7.5 
or, y = 0.5  
Substituting value of y in equation A, we can find x  
12x + 7*0.5 = 15.5 
=> x = (15.5 - 3.5)/12 
or, x = 1  
Therefore, cost of granola bar is $1, and that of yogurt is $0.5

Determine whether the following statements are true and give an explanation or counterexample.
Furkat [3]

Answer:

A) When using the shell​ method, the axis of the cylindrical shells is parallel to the axis of revolution. True.

The Shell method is a technique used to find the volume of a solid of revolution. Here, we take thin shells with axis coinciding with the axis about which the region whose volume is to be found, is revolved.

B) If a region is revolved about the​ y-axis, then the shell method must be used. False.

This method can be used with any axis of rotation.

C) If a region is revolved about the​ x-axis, then in principle it is possible to use the​ disk/washer method and integrate with respect to x or the shell method and integrate with respect to y. True.

The washer method uses thin disks with infinite width but the shell method uses thin concentric shells with infinite width about the axis of revolution. So, the statement is true.

Lilian says that 25% of a number will always be less than 75% of any other number. Complete one inequality to support Lillian's
rjkz [21]
She is incorrect cause if we take the number 20 and take 25% of it it equals 5 so now 20 is only 15. They if we take 75% away from 20 is equals 15 so then we only have 5 from 20 left. Therefore she’s incorrect because 75% leaves 5/20 and 25% leaves 15/20. Hope that makes sense.

If a polynomial function f(x)has root -2 + square root 8 and 9 what must be a factor of f(x)
Rasek [7]

Answer:

(x+2-\sqrt{9}) , (x-2+\sqrt{9}) ,(x-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that f(x) is a polynomial function.

This implies that f(x) has x terms of positive integral degrees and also rational coefficients only.

Since an irrational root is given a root of f(x), we find that its conjugate also should be a root of f(x)

i.e. If -2+\sqrt{8} is a root, then -2-\sqrt{8} is also a root.

(Because this only when multiplied will make coefficients rational)

So the factors of f(x) should be atleast

(x+2-\sqrt{9}) , (x-2+\sqrt{9}) ,(x-9)

There can be other factors also but this is compulsory
