Answer:

x  =  15 rupees by kg   ( price of tea)

y  =  3 rupees by kg   ( price of sugar)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let call " x " the price of kg of tea and " y " the price of kg of sugar,  in january of 1997,

then according to problem statement

2*x + 3*y  =  39    (1)

But in march prices increased  

tea by 25%  that means its price in march will be 1.25*x, and the price of sugar will be 1.20*y, finally buying the same quantities now cost 48.30 rupees, then

2* ( 1.25*x )  +  3 * ( 1.20*y) = 48.30  

2,50*x  +  3.60*y  = 48.30     (2)

Equations (1) and (2) are a two equation system, we need to solve for x and y

From equation  (1)  we have    y = ( 39 - 2*x ) / 3

Plugging that value in equation (2)

2,50*x  + 3.60* [ ( 39 - 2*x ) / 3]   =  48.30

2,50*x  + ( 140,40 - 7,20*x ) /3   = 48.30

7.50*x  + 140,40  - 7,20*x  =  144,90

0,30*x  =  4.50

x =  4.50/0.30

x =  15  rupees

and  y  =   ( 39 - 2*x ) / 3     ⇒  y  = ( 39 - 2*15 ) / 3

y  = ( 39 - 30 )/3

y  =  3 rupees

Answer: tea = 15 rupees  per kg

sugar= 3 rupees per kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equations with the information given:

<em>"Two kg of tea and 3 kg of sugar cost rupees 39 in january 1997": </em>

2 t + 3 s =39 (a)

Where:

  • t= price of 1 kg of tea
  • s = price of 1 kg of sugar

<em>"in march 1997 the price of the tea increased by 25% (1.25)and the price of the sugar increased by 20%(1.20) and the same quantity of tea and sugar cost rupees 48.30. "</em>

2(t1.25)+3(s1.2) = 48.30 (b)

  • <em>Solving for t in (b) </em>

2t =39-3s

t = (39 -3s)/2

t = 19.5-1.5s

  • <em>Replacing the value of t in (b) </em>

2 x ((19.5-1.5s)1.25)+ 3 ( 1.2s) =48.30

2x ( 24.375 -1.875s) +3.6s =48.30

48.75 -3.75s+3.6s= 48.30

48.75-48.30 = 3.75s-3.6s

0.45= 0.15s

0.45/0.15 =s

3 =s

  • <em>Replacing the value of s in (a) </em>

2 t + 3 (3) =39

2 t + 9 =39

2 t =39 -9

2 t =30

t = 30/2

t= 15

Prices in january:

tea = 15 rupees per kg

sugar= 3 rupees per kg

A flea weighs 8 decigrams, and an ant weighs 3 milligrams. How much more does a flea weigh than an ant?
Tasya [4]
It should be 7.97 decigrams, since you want to convert 3 milligrams to decigrams (0.03), it is asking "How much more" which means you subtract.  8 subtracted from 0.03 is 7.97.

Hope this helps :)

How do the values in Pascal’s triangle connect to the coefficients?
damaskus [11]

Explanation:

Each row in Pascal's triangle is a listing of the values of nCk = n!/(k!(n-k)!) for some fixed n and k in the range 0 to n. nCk is <em>the number of combinations of n things taken k at a time</em>.

If you consider what happens when you multiply out the product (a +b)^n, you can see where the coefficients nCk come from. For example, consider the cube ...

  (a +b)^3 = (a +b)(a +b)(a +b)

The highest-degree "a" term will be a^3, the result of multiplying together the first terms of each of the binomials.

The term a^b will have a coefficient that reflects the sum of all the ways you can get a^b by multiplying different combinations of the terms. Here they are ...

  • (a +_)(a +_)(_ +b) = a·a·b = a^2b
  • (a +_)(_ +b)(a +_) = a·b·a = a^2b
  • (_ +b)(a +_)(a +_) = b·a·a = a^2b

Adding these three products together gives 3a^2b, the second term of the expansion.

For this cubic, the third term of the expansion is the sum of the ways you can get ab^2. It is essentially what is shown above, but with "a" and "b" swapped. Hence, there are 3 combinations, and the total is 3ab^2.

Of course, there is only one way to get b^3.

So the expansion of the cube (a+b)^3 is ...

  (a +b)^3 = a^3 + 3a^2b +3ab^2 +b^3 . . . . . with coefficients 1, 3, 3, 1 matching the 4th row of Pascal's triangle.

__

In short, the values in Pascal's triangle are the values of the number of combinations of n things taken k at a time. The coefficients of a binomial expansion are also the number of combinations of n things taken k at a time. Each term of the expansion of (a+b)^n is of the form (nCk)·a^(n-k)·b^k for k =0 to n.

Does the graph at the right represent a linear function? Explain.
kondaur [170]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

This is not a linear function because it does not pass the vertical line test

A vertical line is not a function, it is a relation.
