Answer:

The price of the kilogram of cookies is $ 1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Call x the price of the kilogram of candy and call y the price of kilogram of cookies

Then we know that

0.600x + 1.5y = 4.62

We also know that the price of kilogram of cookies is 1.40 dollars cheaper than the kilogram of candy

So

y = x-1.40

We solve this equation for x and then we substitute it in the first equation.

x = y + 1.40

0.60 (y +1.40) + 1.5y = 4.62\\\\0.60y + 1.5y = 4.62 - 0.84\\\\2.1y = 3.78

y = \$1.8

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle of the triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles

11x+2 = 6x+2 + 40

Combine like terms

11x+2 = 6x+42

Subtract 6x from each side

11x+2-6x = 6x+42-6x

5x+2 = 42

Subtract 2 from each side

5x+2-2 = 42-2

5x = 40

Divide each side by 5

5x/5 = 40/5

x = 8

100 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE SHOW STEPS TO ALL PARTS
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part A: the x-intercepts are -3/2 and 5/2 </u>

  • 4x^{2} - 7x - 15 -----> (2x + 3) (2x - 5)

2x + 3 = 0 --------> 2x = -3 ----------> x = \frac{-3}{2}

2x - 5 = 0 ---------> 2x = 5 -----------> x = \frac{5}{2}

<u>Part B: the parabola is a minimum, the vertex is (7/8,-289/16) </u>

f(x)=ax^2+bx+c

if a>0, then the parabola opens up and the vertex is a minimum

a<0 then the parabola opens down and the vertex is a max

  • a = 4, it is a minimum

the x value of  the vertex in f(x)=ax^2+bx+c= is -b/(2a)

the y value of the vertex is f(-b/(2a))  

f(x) = 4x^{2} - 7x - 15

a = 4

b = -7

-b/2a=-(7)/(2*4)=7/8

f(7/8) = 4(7/8)^{2} - 7(7/8) - 15

f(7/8) = 49/16 - 49/8 - 15

f(7/8) = -289/16

  • the vertex is (7/8,-289/16)

<u>Part C: </u>

  1. the vertex is minimum and the graph goes through the x intercepts
  2. plug in x values to get the y value (EX: choose 0 for x, and you'll get -15 for y, so you would plot the point at (0, -15). you could plug in 1 for x, and get -18 for y, plotting the point (1, -18) )

Type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words.
alexdok [17]

Answer: n = 6 or you can do n = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

solve for n and then the left hand side factors

into a product with for terms then multiply both sides by -2  then split into two equations after add 6 to both sides and subtract 6 from both sides.

A potato was launched in the air using a potato gun. The function for the situation was h(t)=-16t^2 +100t+10, where t was the ti
Goshia [24]

Answer:

The height equation is:

h(t)=-16t^2 +100t+10

A) To find the maximum height, we must find the time where the velocity is 0, so we must derive it with respect to the time.

v(t) = -2*16*t + 100 = 0

       t = 100/(2*16) = 3.125s

Now we put this time in our height equation:

h(3.125s) = -16*3.125^2 + 100*3.125 + 10 = 166.25 ft.

B) The lowest heigth of the potato will be h = 0ft, when the potato hits the ground.

C) the lowest time that works for that function is t = 0s, when the potato is fired by the gun.

D) the maximum time can be finded when the potato hits the ground, afther that point the equation does not work anymore, let's find it,

h(t) = 0 = -16t^2 +100t+10

we can solve it using Bhaskara's equation:

t = \frac{-100 +- \sqrt{100^2 +4*16*10} }{-2*16} = \frac{-100 +- 103.2}{-32}

So the two solutions are:

t = 6.3s

t = -0.1s

We need to chose the positive time, as we already discused that the minimum time that works for the equation is t = 0s.

so here the answer is t = 6.3s

E) the domain is  0s ≤ t ≤ 6.3s

The range is 0ft ≤ h ≤ 166.25 ft.
