A department store sells yellow and purple shirts. Each yellow shirt is the same price. Each purple shirt is the same price. How

ever, the price of yellow shirts is different from the price of purple shirts.
On Monday, the store collected $165 selling 5 purple shirts and 7 yellow shirts.

On Tuesday, the store collected $213 selling 4 purple shirts and 11 yellow shirts.

What is the cost of each shirt? Graph the point that represents the cost of each shirt. The provided line on the graph represents Tuesday's sales.

Answer:

Each purple shirt costs $12

Each yellow shirt costs $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call:

x: purple shirt price (in dollars per shirt)

y: yellow shirt price (in dollars per shirt)

On Monday, the store collected $165 selling 5 purple shirts and 7 yellow shirts.  That is:

5*x + 7*y = 165   (eq. 1)

On Tuesday, the store collected $213 selling 4 purple shirts and 11 yellow shirts. That is:

4*x+11*y = 213    (eq. 2)

We can isolate y in equation 1, as follows:

7*y = 165 - 5*x

y = 165/7 - 5/7*x

and replace it in equation 2:

4*x+11*(165/7 - 5/7*x) = 213

4*x+ 1815/7 - 55/7*x = 213

-27/7*x = 213 - 1815/7

-27/7*x = -324/7

x = -324/-27 = 12

Then:

y = 165/7 - 5/7*12 = 15

If we graph the system of equations made by equations 1 and 2, we get the figure attached. The intersection of the two lines is the solution of the system.

Answer:

The Cost of  yellow shirts is $15 and the cost of purple shirt is $ 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost of one yellow shirt be x

and the cost of one purple shirt be y

On Monday

5x + 7y = 165--------------------(1)

On Tuesday

4x + 11y = 213----------------------(2)

To solve (1) and (2)

multiplying eq(1) with 4

20x + 28y = 660--------------------(3)

multiplying eq(2) with 5

20x + 55y = 1056-------------------(4)

Subtracting (3) from (4)

20x + 55y = 1056

20x + 28y = 660

(-)

-----------------------------------

0x  +27y = 405

-----------------------------------

y = \frac{405}{27}

y = 15

Substituting y value in eq(1)

5x + 7(15) = 165

5x + 105 =405

5x =405 -105

5x =300

x = \frac{300}{5}

x =60

NASA launches a rocket at t=0 seconds. Its height, in meters above sea-level, as a function of time is given by h(t)=-4.9t2+64t+
ryzh [129]

Using the vertex of the quadratic equation, it is found that:

The rocket will reach its peak height of 345 meters above sea level at 6.53 seconds.

<h3>What is the vertex of a quadratic equation?</h3>

A quadratic equation is modeled by:

y = ax^2 + bx + c

The vertex is given by:

(x_v, y_v)

In which:

x_v = -\frac{b}{2a}

y_v = -\frac{b^2 - 4ac}{4a}

Considering the coefficient a, we have that:

  • If a < 0, the vertex is a maximum point.
  • If a > 0, the vertex is a minimum point.

In this problem, the equation is given by:

h(t) = -4.9t² + 64t + 136.

The coefficients are a = -4.9 < 0, b = 64, c = 136, hence the instant of the maximum height is given by, in seconds:

t_v = -\frac{64}{2(-4.9)} = 6.53

In a certain year, there were 92 female officials in Congress, which is comprised of the House of Representatives and the Senate
crimeas [40]

Answer:

There are 78 female members of the House of Representatives and 14 female members of the Senate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h equal the amount of female members of the House of Representatives and s equal the amount of female members in the Senate.

Since the amount of female officials in Congress is 92, and is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate, we can represent this as the equation h+s=92

Since there are 64 more female members in the House of Representatives than female Senators, the senators would need 64 more female members to have the same amount as the House of Representatives. We can represent this as h=s+64.

Substituting, we get s+64+s=92, which simplifies to 2s+64=92. Subtracting 64 from both sides, we get 2s=28, which equals to s=14. There are 14 female senators. Substituting back into h+s=92, 14+s=92, and s=78. Therefore, there are 78 female members of the House of Representatives and 14 female members of the Senate.
