A hot dog is $1.50 by using

 6x+4y=13

-3x+4y=8.50

X=price of a hot dogy=price of a soft drinkWe can suggest the following system of equations:
6x+4y=133x+4y=8.50
We solve this system of equations by reduction method.  6x+4y=13-(3x+4y=8.5)------------------------   3x=4.5              ⇒x=4.5/3=1.5
Answer: the price of a hot dog will be $1.5.

If you want to know the price of a soft drink, you have to find "y".6x+4y=13
6(1.5)+4y=139+4y=134y=13-94y=4y=4/4y=1
The price of a soft drink is $1. 
Hope this helps! :)

A piece of wire of length L will be cut into two pieces, one piece to form a square and the other piece to form an equilateral t
inn [45]

Answer:

  (a)  square: L; triangle: 0.

  (b)  square: L·(-16+12√3)/11; triangle: L·(27-12√3)/11

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Strategy</u>: First we will write each area in terms of its perimeter. Then we will find the total area in terms of the amount devoted to the square. Differentiating will give a way to find the minimum total area.

__

In terms of its perimeter p, the area of a square is ...

  A_square = p^2/16

In terms of its perimeter p, the area of an equilateral triangle is ...

  A_triangle = p^2/(12√3)

Then the total area of the two figures whose total perimeter is L with "x" devoted to the square is ...

  A_total = x^2/16 + (L-x)^2/(12√3)

__

(a) We know when polygons are regular, the one with the most area for the least perimeter is the one with the most sides. Hence, the total area is maximized when all of the wire is devoted to the square.

__

(b) The derivative of A_total with respect to x is ...

  dA/dx = x/8 -(L-x)/(6√3)

This will be zero when ...

  x/8 = (L-x)/(6√3)

  x(6√3) = 8L -8x

  x(8 +6√3) = 8L

  x = L·8/(6√3 +8) = 8L(6√3 -8)/(64-108)

  x = L·(12√3 -16)/11

The total area is minimized when L·(12√3 -16)/11 is devoted to the square, and the balance is devoted to the triangle.

Susan is going to watch a movie in her collection she has 5 action movies 4comedies and 3 dramas she will randomly select one mo
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

9/12 or 75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first add the choices all up.

5+4+3= 12.

We have 12 movie choices in total.

Now, we know that we have 3 drama movie choices...so the chance we will choose drama is 3/12, but we are not finding that.  We want the chance she will NOT choose drama, so that would be 9/12.

*Since the chance she will choose drama is 3/12, the chance she will not choose is 9/12. 9+3 is 12, the total amout.*

(1+cos2x)/(1-cos2x) = cot^2x
sesenic [268]

We will turn the left side into the right side.

\dfrac{1 + \cos 2x}{1 - \cos2x} = \cot^2 x

Use the identity:

\cos 2x = \cos^2 x - \sin^2 x

\dfrac{1 + \cos^2 x - \sin^2 x}{1 - ( \cos^2 x - \sin^2 x)} = \cot^2 x

\dfrac{1 - \sin^2 x + \cos^2 x }{1 - \cos^2 x + \sin^2 x} = \cot^2 x

Now use the identity

\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1 solved for sin^2 x and for cos^2 x.

\dfrac{\cos^2 x + \cos^2 x }{\sin^2 x + \sin^2 x} = \cot^2 x

\dfrac{2\cos^2 x}{2\sin^2 x} = \cot^2 x

\dfrac{\cos^2 x}{\sin^2 x} = \cot^2 x

\cot^2 x = \cot^2 x
