Hello there, my fellow human being!
So, the chicken costs $8 and the duck costs $5, here's why.

Let's say x is the cost of a chicken while y is the cost of a duck.
We can make two linear equations using the information above.
Last month, he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550: 50x + 30y= 550
This month, he sold 44 chicken and 36 ducks for $532: 44x + 36y = 532

50x/10 + 30y/10 = 440/10
44x/4 + 36y/4 = 532/4

5x + 3y = 44
11x + 9y = 133

So, now that we have our answer simplified, we have to use elimination to solve this system of equations. But, first we need to make sure that at least one of our variables is able to be canceled out.
Let's multiply this equation by -3.
(5x + 3y = 44) * -3.

-15x-9y=-165.

11x + 9y = 133
-15x - 9y = -165
______________
-4x/4 = -32/4
x = 8
11x + 9y = 133
11(8) + 9y = 133
88 + 9y = 133
-88 -88
________________
9y/9 = 45/9
y = 5.

Which of the following functions generates the sequence 0, 2, 4, 6, ...?
boyakko [2]

Answer:

F(n) = 2n – 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence 0, 2, 4, 6

First, let us determine if the sequence is arithmetic progression (A.P) or geometric progression (G.P)

This is illustrated:

Let us calculate the common difference (d)

Common difference (d) = 2nd term – first term

Common difference (d) = 3rd term – 2nd term

=> 2 – 0 = 2

=> 4 – 2 = 2

The common difference (d) = 2.

Common ratio (r) = 2nd term /1st term

Common ratio (r) = 3rd term /2nd term

=> 2/0 = undefined

=> 4/2 = 2

There is no common ratio.

Since we have a common difference, therefore the sequence is arithmetic progression.

Now, let us obtain an expression for the sequence.

This can be obtained by using the arithmetic progression formula as shown below:

F(n) = a + (n – 1)d

a is the first term

n is the number of term

d is the common difference.

The sequence 0, 2, 4, 6

The first term (a) = 0

Common difference (d) = 2

F(n) = a + (n – 1)d

F(n) = 0 + (n – 1)2

F(n) = 2n – 2

Which ordered pair solves the system of equations?
Serggg [28]

Answer:

(1;1)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. if y=2x-1, then it is possible to substitute 2x-1 into the 2d equation:

5x-4(2x-1)=1, ⇒ 5x-8x+4=1, ⇔ -3x=-3, ⇔ x= 1;

2. if x=1, then y=2x-1=2-1= 1.

3. the required pair is (1;1)

If h(x) = f[g(x)], use the table of values for f, g, f ′ and g ′ to find the value of h ′(1).
777dan777 [17]
Hey there :)

h ( x ) = f [ g ( x ) ]

To find h ' ( x ) 
We do → f ' [ g ( x ) ] × g ' ( x ) 
This is called the chain rule

Given;
g ( 1 ) = 2  →  f ' ( 2 ) = 5
g ' ( 1 ) = 6

Apply the formula
h ' ( 1 ) = f ' [ g ( 1 ) ] × g ' ( 1 )
           = f ' ( 2 ) × 6
           = 5 × 6
h ' ( 1 ) = 30
