Answer:

$1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

1 pound of carrot and 1.5 pounds of squash cost $7.00.

1c + 1.5s = 7 ----------------- [ 1 ]

4.5 pounds of carrot and 1.75 pound of squash cost $14.00.

4.5c + 1.75s = 14 ----------------- [ 2 ]

<u>[ 1 ] x 4.5:</u>

4.5c + 6.75s = 31.5 ----------------- [ 1a ]

<u>[1a] - [2]:</u>

5s = 17.5

s = $3.50

<u>Sub s = 3.5 into [ 1 ]:</u>

1c + 1.5 (3.5)  = 7

1c + 5.25 = 7

1c = $1.75

Find all real numbers z for which the equation (z-5)x^2-zx+5=0 only has one real solution. If you find more than one, then list
Nataliya [291]

Step-by-step explanation:

For the quadratic equation to have 1 repeated real solution, the discriminant b² - 4ac must be zero.

=> (-z)² - 4(z - 5)(5) = 0

=> z² - 20(z - 5) = 0

=> z² - 20z + 100 = 0

=> (z - 10)² = 0

Therefore z = 10.

Below are two different functions, f(x) and g(x). What can be determined about their slopes? f(x) Dawn writes 800 pages in 80 da
lilavasa [31]
Given function f(x) which is described by "<span>Dawn writes 800 pages in 80 days".

From this function we can notice that Dawn writes 0 pages in 0 days, (i.e. the initial point of the function is point (0, 0).

Recall that the slope, m, of a line passing through points:
(x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)
is given by
m= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Function f(x) passes through points (0, 0) and (80, 800).

Thus the slope of function f(x) is given by
m= \frac{800-0}{80-0} = \frac{800}{80} =10


Give function g(x), passing through points (2, -6) and (4, 12), the slope is given by
m= \frac{12-(-6)}{4-2} = \frac{12+6}{2} = \frac{18}{2} =9

It can be seen that the slope of f(x) and the slope of g(x) are close.

For what values of x is x2-36=5x true?<br> 0 -9 and 4<br> 04 and 9<br> 4 and -9<br> 09 and 4
ipn [44]

Answer:

x = - 4 and x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 36 = 5x ( subtract 5x from both sides )

x² - 5x - 36 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 36) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 5)

The factors are - 9 and + 4, since

- 9 × 4 = - 36 and - 9 + 4 = - 5, thus

(x - 9)(x + 4) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 9 = 0 ⇒ x = 9

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

Max travel 324 miles in six hours write the unit rate
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

54mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

= 54 miles per hour

Showing WorkThis is a fraction equal to

324 miles ÷ 6 hours

We want a unit rate where

1 is in the denominator,

so we divide top and bottom by 6

324 miles

÷ 6

6 hours

÷ 6

=

54 miles

1 hour

=

54 miles

hour

= 54 miles per hour
