Answer:

An apple costs £0.25

A banana costs £0.34

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be apples and b be bananas.

10a+5b=4.2

8a+10b=5.4

Solve for a:

10a+5b=4.2

<em>Subtract 5b from both sides</em>

10a=4.2-5b

<em>Subtract 4.2 from both sides</em>

10a-4.2= -5b

<em>Multiply both sides by -1</em>

-10a+4.2=5b

8a+10b=5.4

<em>Subtract 10b from both sides</em>

8a=5.4-10b

<em>Subtract 5.4 from both sides</em>

8a-5.4= -10b

<em>Multiply both sides by -1</em>

-8a+5.4= 10b

<em>Divide both sides by 2</em>

-4a+2.7=5b

<u>Combine equations:</u>

-4a+2.7= -10a+4.2

<em>Add 10a to both sides</em>

6a+2.7=4.2

<em>Subtract 2.7 from both sides</em>

6a=1.5

<em>Divide both sides by 6</em>

a=0.25

An apple costs £0.25

Solve for b:

10a+5b=4.2

<em>Subtract 10a from both sides</em>

5b= -10a+4.2

<em>Subtract 4.2 from both sides</em>

5b-4.2= -10a

<em>Multiply both sides by -1</em>

-5b+4.2=10a

8a+10b=5.4

<em>Subtract 8a from both sides</em>

10b= -8a+5.4

<em>Subtract 5.4 from both sides</em>

10b-5.4= -8a

<em>Divide both sides by 4</em>

2.5b-1.35= -2a

Multiply both sides by 5

12.5b-6.75= -10a

<em>Multiply both sides by -1</em>

-12.5b+6.75=10a

<u>Combine equations:</u>

-12.5b+6.75= -5b+4.2

<em>Add 12.5b to both sides</em>

6.75=7.5b+4.2

<em>Subtract 4.2 from both sides</em>

2.55=7.5b

7.5b=2.55

<em>Divide both sides by 7.5</em>

b=0.34

A banana costs £0.34

If you would like to check and see if it is true, (I already checked, it is) you can use the formulas I gave at the start of the explanation.

10a+5b=4.2

8a+10b=5.4

a=0.25

b=0.34

Math:
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

a) x_{1} = \frac{\pi}{3}\pm 2\pi \cdot i, \forall i \in \mathbb{N}_{O}, x_{2} = \frac{5\pi}{6}\pm 2\pi\cdot i, \forall i \in \mathbb{N}_{O}, b) x_{1} = \frac{\pi}{3}\pm 2\pi \cdot i, \forall i \in \mathbb{N}_{O}, x_{2} = \frac{5\pi}{3}\pm 2\pi\cdot i, \forall i \in \mathbb{N}_{O}

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The equation must be rearranged into a form with one fundamental trigonometric function first:

\sqrt{3}\cdot \csc x - 2 = 0

\sqrt{3} \cdot \left(\frac{1}{\sin x} \right) - 2 = 0

\sqrt{3} - 2\cdot \sin x = 0

\sin x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

x = \sin^{-1} \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

Value of x is contained in the following sets of solutions:

x_{1} = \frac{\pi}{3}\pm 2\pi \cdot i, \forall i \in \mathbb{N}_{O}

x_{2} = \frac{5\pi}{6}\pm 2\pi\cdot i, \forall i \in \mathbb{N}_{O}

b) The equation must be simplified first:

\cos x + 1 = - \cos x

2\cdot \cos x = -1

\cos x = -\frac{1}{2}

x = \cos^{-1} \left(-\frac{1}{2} \right)

Value of x is contained in the following sets of solutions:

x_{1} = \frac{\pi}{3}\pm 2\pi \cdot i, \forall i \in \mathbb{N}_{O}

x_{2} = \frac{5\pi}{3}\pm 2\pi\cdot i, \forall i \in \mathbb{N}_{O}

10. How many three-topping pizzas can be ordered from the list of toppings below? Did you calculate the number of permutations o
Nimfa-mama [501]

Step-by-step explanation:

Total numbers of pizza toppings = 12

Number of three topping pizzas can be ordered are:

P^{n}_{k}=\frac{n!}{(n-k)!}

where = n = number of elements

k = number of elements choosen

n= 12 , k = 3

\frac{12!}{(12-3)!} =\frac{12\times 11\times 10\times 9!}{9!}= 1,320

We calculated the number of permutations. We made this choice because in permutation order of element matters but in combination its not.
