Good evening

Answer:

<em>a) the cost of one apple is €</em><em>0.9</em>

<em>b) the cost of one pineapple is €</em><em>5.4</em>

<em>c) the cost of two pineapples and six apples is €</em><em>16.2</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider P the price of a pineapple

               A the price of an apple

A pineapple costs six times as much as an apple means P = 6A

Mum paid €7.20 for one pineapple and two apples means P + 2A = 7.20

then

6A + 2A = 7.20

then

8A = 7.20

then

A = €0.9  

Since P = 6A then P = 6×(0.9) = €5.4

the cost of two pineapples and six apples

= 2P + 6A

= 2P + P

= 3P

= 3×(5.4)

= €16.2

HELp meh with this question it very hard
Dovator [93]

Answer:

  • AB = 7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Use the law of cosines to find the side AB:</u>

  • AB = \sqrt{(x + 3)^2+x^2-2x(x+3)cos (60)} =
  • \sqrt{x^2+6x+9+x^2-x^2-3x}  = \sqrt{x^2+3x+9}

<u>Use the Heron's area formula next:</u>

  • A = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s-b)(s-c)}, where s- semi perimeter
  • s = 1/2[x + x + 3 + \sqrt{x^2+3x+9}) = 1/2 (2x + 3 + \sqrt{x^2+3x+9})
  • s - a = 1/2 (2x + 3 + \sqrt{x^2+3x+9} - 2x - 6) = 1/2 (\sqrt{x^2+3x+9 } - 3)
  • s - b = 1/2 (2x + 3 + \sqrt{x^2+3x+9} - 2x) = 1/2 (\sqrt{x^2+3x+9} + 3)
  • s - c = 1/2 (2x + 3 + \sqrt{x^2+3x+9} - 2\sqrt{x^2+3x+9}) = 1/2 (2x + 3 - \sqrt{x^2+3x+9})

<u>Now</u>

  • (s - a)(s - b) = 1/4 [(x²+3x+9) - 9] = 1/4 (x² + 3x)
  • s(s - c) = 1/4 [(2x + 3)² - (x² + 3x + 9)] = 1/4 (3x²+ 9x) = 3/4(x² + 3x)

<u>Next</u>

  • A² = 3/16(x² + 3x)(x² + 3x)
  • 300 = 3/16(x² + 3x)²
  • 1600 = (x² + 3x)²
  • x² + 3x = 40

<u>Substitute this into the first equation:</u>

  • AB = \sqrt{40 + 9} = 7 cm

Explain how to find simple interest
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Simple interest is calculated by multiplying the daily interest rate by the principal, by the number of days that elapse between payments.

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal x rate x time = interest.

$100 x .05 x 1 = $5 simple interest for one year.

$100 x .05 x 3 = $15 simple interest for three years.
