Alexa is comparing the cost of lobster at two different restaurants. One restaurant called 'Lobster Foods' charges $18 for the l

obster meal, plus $7 per kilogram of her choice of lobster. On the other hand, at 'Megan's Lobster' she would have to pay $8 per kilogram for the lobster, plus $17 for the meal. Alexa theorized that the cost of the dinner at both restaurants could cost the same amount if the lobster had a certain weight. What is the weight of the lobster? How much would Alexa pay for her dinner?

Answer:

The weight of the lobster is 1 kilogram.

Alexa will pay $25 for her dinner.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the amount of kilograms of lobster K and then formulate equations based on the problem information:

The price in Lobster Foods is L = 18 + 7*K

The price in Megan's Lobster is M = 17 + 8*K

To know how much kilograms of lobster will make both prices be the same, we just need to equate both equations:

L = M

18 + 7*K = 17 + 8*K

8*K - 7*K = 18 - 17

K = 1

The weight of the lobster is 1 kilogram, and Alexa will pay 18 + 7*1 = $25 for the dinner.

The length of the hypotenuse of a 30-60-90 triangle is 28 m. Find the length of the side opposite the 30 angle
____ [38]
The answer is 14 m

<span>In a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the hypotenuse (c) is twice the length of the shorter leg (a) which is the opposite to the 30 angle:
</span>

c = 2a


We have c = 28 m

So: 28 = 2a

      a = 28 / 2 

     a = 14 m

The input of each of these functions is always an angle, and as you learned in the previous sections, these angles can take on any real number value. Therefore the sine and cosine function have the same domain, the set of all real numbers, \begin{align*}R\end{align*}
