Answer:

pounds of walnut bought = 150 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let weight of walnut be x and weight of pecans be y

x + y = 250 ---------------------------Eqn1

4x + 6y = 1200--------------------Eqn 2

Solving both equations simultaneously

From eqn1 x= 250 - y, substitute x=50-y into Eqn2

4(250-y) + 6y = 1200

2y = 200

y = 100

x = 250 - 100 = 150

Hence pounds of walnut bought = 150 pounds

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y denote the number of walnut and pecan respectively.

Mass of walnut and pecan:

x + y = 250 pounds

y = $6/pound

x = $4/pound

Cost of walnut and pecan:

4x + 6y = $1200

Solving both equations simultaneously,

x = 250 - y

4(250 - y) + 6y = 1200

2y = 1200 - 1000

y = 200/2

= 100 pounds

x = 250 - 100

= 150 pounds

150 pounds of walnut was purchased.

For each function, do the following: a) state the name of the function, b) identify the independent and dependent variable, c) i
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Given the function in the question

f(x) = |x-3| + 2

a) state the name of the function

  Absolute value function

  since it is similar to f(x) = |x|

b) identify the independent and dependent variable  

x = independent variable (input variable)

f(x) or y = dependent variable  (output variable)

The variable which we assign the value we call the independent variable,    and the other variable is the dependent variable, since it value depends on  the independent variable.

c) identify the rule

A function is an equation that has only one answer for y for every x.

d) evaluate the function

given x = -5

 f(-5) = |-5 - 3| + 2

        = |-8| + 2

        = 8 +2

        = 10

X=<br> Length=<br> Width=<br> WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST + 5 star
babymother [125]

Answer:

x = 20

Length = 20ft

Width = 12ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 240

x^2 - 8x = 240

x^2 - 8x - 240 = 0

x^2 - 20x + 12x - 240 = 0

x(x-20) + 12(x-20) = 0

(x+12)(x-20) = 0

x = 20

x = -12 (which we discard since x is a length)

So the dimensions are 20ft and 20-8 = 12ft

If the right side of the equation dy dx = f(x, y) can be expressed as a function of the ratio y/x only, then the equation is sai
melomori [17]

Answer:

 y = x*sqrt(Cx - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

                                  dy / dx = (x^2 + 5y^2) / 2xy

Find:

Solve the given ODE by using appropriate substitution.

Solution:

- Rewrite the given ODE:

                               dy/dx = 0.5(x/y) + 2.5(y/x)

- use substitution y = x*v(x)

                               dy/dx = v + x*dv/dx

- Combine the two equations:

                                v + x*dv/dx = 0.5*(1/v) + 2.5*v

                                x*dv/dx = 0.5*(1/v) + 1.5*v

                                x*dv/dx = (v^2 + 1) / 2v

-Separate variables:

                                 (2v.dv / (v^2 + 1) = dx / x  

- Integrate both sides:

                                 Ln (v^2 + 1) = Ln(x) + C

                                 v^2 + 1 = Cx

                                 v = sqrt(Cx - 1)

- Back substitution:

                                (y/x) = sqrt(Cx - 1)

                               y = x*sqrt(Cx - 1)

An airplane left Miami, FL. At the same time another plane left Santiago, Chile. The two planes flew toward each other at rates
Nina [5.8K]
Since we know that LCM of both 625&575 is 14375, we must find the hours it took for both planes to arrive at this same destination.

Plane 1(625): Took 23 hours to arrive.

Plane 2(575): Took 25 hours to arrive.

Therefore, the answer should be from 23-25 hours to arrive or if looking for middle number, 24 hours exactly.

Hope this helps.

Can someone help me with these functions
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Function 1:

The starting point is (0,0.5)

As x increases, y increases

Function 2:

The starting point is (0,3)

As x increases, y decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the starting point, we need to plug in x=0.

y=0.5+3(0)\\\\y=0.5

y=3(0.5)^0\\\\y=3(1)\\\\y=3

As we plug in increasing numbers into function#1, the y-value increases

As we plug in increasing numbers into function #2, the y-value is decreasing
