A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. A delivery of 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes has a t

otal weight of 131 kilograms. A delivery of 2 large boxes and 6 small boxes has a total weight of 116 kilograms. How much does each type of box weigh?

Answer:

  • large: 18.25 kg
  • small: 13.25 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphical solution works nicely for this.

___

The relevant equations are (for large box weight x and small box weight y in kilograms) ...

  • 5x +3y = 131
  • 2x +6y = 116

__

A system of linear equations can be solved by a variety of methods. In most cases, a graphing calculator can give a quick and easy solution.

Here, we'll also use <em>Cramer's rule</em> for the solution. It gives the answers with combinations of the coefficients and constants substantially equivalent to solution by "elimination."

  x = (3·116 -6·131)/(3·2 -6·5) = -438/-24 = 18.25

  y = (131·2 -116·5)/-24 = -318/-24 = 13.25

Then the answers are ...

  • the large box weighs 18.25 kg
  • the small box weighs 13.25 kg

_____

Since all the numbers in these equations are different, you can see the pattern of multiplication and subtraction that we used to get the solution. That same pattern can be applied to any linear system of 2 equations in 2 unknowns.

Answer:

The weight of large and small box are 18.25 kg and 13.25 kg respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weight of large and small box are x and y respectively.

It is given that a delivery of 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes has a total weight of 131 kilograms.

5x+3y=131                .... (1)

A delivery of 2 large boxes and 6 small boxes has a total weight of 116 kilograms.

2x+6y=116                .... (2)

On solving (1) and (2) using graphing calculator, we get

x=18.25

y=13.25

Therefore the weight of large and small box are 18.25 kg and 13.25 kg respectively.

inside each set and subsets .write at least 5 example of each kind of number. integers , whole ,rational ,natural ,irrational​
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Integers: is the set of all the numbers that can be created by adding ones or subtracting ones a given number of times to zero.

for example:

4 = 0 + 1 + 1+ 1 +1  is an integer.

-3 = 0 - 1 - 1- 1 is an integer.

0 is also an integer, you add ones zero times.

Then 5 examples of integers can be:

-10, -5, 0, 4, 18

Whole numbers: this set is the set of the positive integers and the zero.

Then 5 examples are:

0, 1, 4, 6, 173

Rational: All the numbers that can be written as a quotient of two integers.

5 examples are:

2/2, 7/3, 4/16, 100/10, -500/1048

Natural: Is the set of the positive integers.

5 examples are:

1, 4, 6, 120, 47

Irrational: Are numbers that have infinite digits after the decimal point, such that there is no pattern in those digits. The squareroots of prime numbers are always irrational numbers.

5 examples are:

pi, √2, √3, √5, √13

where pi = 3.141592653...

Is the relation between the perimeter of a circle and its diameter.

perimeter = diameter*pi.

Consider this function.
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

3. Since the range of the original function is limited to y> 6, the domain of the inverse function is x ≥ 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a function is the range of its inverse, and vice versa. The only answer choice that expresses this relationship is choice 3.

__

Comment on the answer choice:

The slope of the function is undefined at x=4, so restricting the function domain to the portion with positive slope means the domain restriction of the function is x > 4. That also means the range restriction of the function is y > 6. The domain restriction of the inverse function is the same: x > 6, not x ≥ 6. The answer choice has an error.
