There are two jars of sweets.

Mathematics

First, we model two equations that satisfy the problem. Let x be the number of sweets in the first jar, and y the number of sweets in the second jar.
First equation:
(x-20)/1 = (y+20)/2 
or
(x-20)/(y+20) = 1/2

Second equation:
[(x-20)+60]/3 = [(y+20)-60]/1
or 
(x+40) = 3(y-40)

Expressing the first equation in terms of y, we have:
y = 2x - 60

Plugging it in to the second equation:
(x+40) = 3[(2x-60) - 40]
5x = 340
x = 68

y = 2(68)-60 = 76

The first jar originally had 68 sweets and the second jar originally had 76 sweets.

Graph the functions and identify the domain and range. y=-1.5x^2
erma4kov [3.2K]
You can give random values such as <span> (1,2.5) (2,9) (-1,2.5) (-2,9) and it is a parabola. You'll see that the range is (-infinte, 0] and the domain is (-infinit, infinite). </span>I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.

Consider the compound inequality x &lt; 4 and x&gt;a. If a=4 and the compounding word were "or" instead of "and",what would the
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

We have:

x < 4 AND x > a.

if a = 4 and we use an "or" instead of the "and" we have:

x < 4 or x > 4.

This is:

"x is larger than 4 or smaller than 4."

Then the solution of this is all the real numbers except the value x = 4.

The set of solutions can be written as:

{xI x ∈ R  \ [4]}

Where this reads:

"x belongs to the set of the reals minus the number 4".

Or we also could write it as:

x ∈ (-∞, 4) ∪ (4, ∞)

Where we have two open ends in the "4" side, so the value x = 4 does not belong to that set.

Brainliest <br> Please do one of the above<br> (I would appreciate if you did more then one)
Temka [501]

Answer:

a) 52.5 ft. b)40.1ft c)12.5ft d) 72.6

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The height of the lighthouse is 84ft, and the angle of elevation is 58 degrees.

tan58=84/x

find x by dividing 84 by tan58, and you get 52.5ft.

b) do the same thing, except 131 is in the base of the right triangle shape. That being said, do tan17=x/131.

multiply 131 by tan17, and you get x=40.1 feet.

c) This question wants you to find the length of the slide, (basically the hypotenuse).

given the angle to be 46, do sin46=9/x

since sin is opp/hyp

9/sin46= 12.5ft

d) Find the angle of elevation by using inverse tan given the base to be 5, and the height to be 16ft.

tan^-1=(16/5)=theta

x=72.6 hope this helps!
