Answer:shirt = $22.5

skirt= $8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let shirt be x and skirt be y

4x + 9y = 168.75--------1

3x + 12y = 172.5---------2

Using elimination method

Multiply eqn 1 by 3 and eqn 2 by 4

12x + 27y= 506.25

12x + 48y = 690

Subtracting

-21y = -183.75

y = $8.75

Put in eqn 1

4x + 9×8.75 = 168.75

4x = 168.75 - 78.75

4x = 90

x = $22.5

URGENT! What is the equation of this graph? It is a cosine graph whose equation will fit into terms of y=acos(b(x-c))+d
IgorC [24]

Answer:

y=-5cos(pi/8(x+2))-21

Step-by-step explanation:

y=acos(b(x-c))+d

Let's find the max and then the min first. We are aiming to find the amplitude, a, which is the half the distance from the max to the min.

Max is y=-16

Min is y=-26

a=(-16--26)/2=-8--13=5

a could also tell us if y=cos(x) has been reflected about the x-axis if it is -5, which it looks like it has considering cos(0)=1 not -1.

I'm looking at the point (-2,-26) which is the lowest point of our curve and comparing it to our high point of (0,1) on y=cos(x).

So far we have, y=-5cos(b(x-c))+d.

Let's look at d, vertical shift. The average of our max and min is (-26+-16)/2=-13-8=-21.

So our vertical shift is d=-21.

So now equation is y=-5cos(b(x-c))+-21.

Now since we are using (-2,-26) as our (0,1) point on y=cos(x) then c=-2.

So now equation is y=-5cos(b(x--2))+-21

Now we are going to plug in a point haven't mentioned to find b. So looking at graph I will use (6,-16).

-16=-5cos(b(6--2))+-21

Add 21 on both sides:

5=-5cos(b(6--2))

Divide both sides by -5:

-1=cos(b(6--2))

Simplify inside:

-1=cos(b8)

Multiplication is commutative:

-1=cos(8b)

8b=pi * cos(pi)=-1

b=pi/8

The equation is

y=-5cos(pi/8(x--2))+-21

Simplify:

y=-5cos(pi/8(x+2))-21

Kiana wants to write equations in the form y = mx + b for the lines passing through
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

'Substitute the slope and the coordinates of point P(-3,2) in y = mx + b and then solve for b in each equation'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kiana wants to write equations in the form y = mx + b for the lines passing through point P that are parallel and perpendicular to line q.  

This equation is in the slope-intercept form where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

First, she finds the slope of line q and the slope of line s to be – 2. Point P is located at (-3,2).

Therefore, the step that can be used to find the y-intercept is 'substitute the slope and the coordinates of point P(-3,2) in y = mx + b and then solve for b in each equation'. (Answer)
