5 noble fir and 3 douglas fir = $ 420

12 noble fir and 9 douglas fir = $ 1080

Let noble fir be n,  and douglas fir be d.

5n + 3d = 420               ..............(i)

12n + 9d = 1080           ...............(ii)

Multiply equation (i)  by 3.

3*(5n + 3d) = 3*(420)

15n + 9d = 1260        .............(iii)

Equation (ii)  minus (iii)

(12n + 9d) - (15n + 9d) =  1080 - 1260

12n - 15n  + 9d - 9d = -180

-3n = -180

n = -180/-3 = 60

Substitute the value of n in (i)    5n + 3d = 420 

5*(60) + 3d = 420

300 + 3d  = 420
 
3d =  420 - 300 = 120

3d = 120

d = 120/3 = 40

Therefore Noble fir tree cost $60 while Douglas fir tree cost $40

Answer:

x >= -7  ................(1a)

x >= 3   ...............(2a1)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) =  \sqrt{x+7}-\sqrt{x^2+2x-15}  .............(0)

find the domain.

To find the (real) domain, we need to ensure that each term remains a real number.

which means the following conditions must be met

x+7 >= 0  .....................(1)

AND

x^2+2x-15 >= 0 ..........(2)

To satisfy (1),  x >= -7  .....................(1a) by transposition of (1)

To satisfy (2), we need first to find the roots of (2)

factor (2)

(x+5)(x-3) >= 0

This implis

(x+5) >= 0 AND (x-3) >= 0.....................(2a)

OR

(x+5) <= 0 AND (x-3) <= 0 ...................(2b)

(2a) is satisfied with x >= 3   ...............(2a1)

(2b) is satisfied with x <= -5 ................(2b1)

Combine the conditions (1a), (2a1), and (2b1),

x >= -7  ................(1a)

AND

(

x >= 3   ...............(2a1)

OR

x <= -5 ................(2b1)

)

which expands to

(1a) and (2a1)   OR  (1a) and (2b1)

( x >= -7 and x >= 3 )  OR ( x >= -7 and x <= -5 )

Simplifying, we have

x >= 3  OR ( -7 <= x <= -5 )

Referring to attached figure, the domain is indicated in dark (purple), the red-brown and white regions satisfiy only one of the two conditions.
