Answer: Jenna sold 280 and Becca sold 105 boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 3x be the number of cookies Becca sold.

Then, the number of cookies Jenna sold = 8x

Since Combined, they sold a total of 385 boxes of cookies.

So, 3x+8x=385

\Rightarrow\ 11x=385\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{385}{11}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=35

So, Jenna sold 8(35) = 280 boxes

and Becca sold 3(35)=  105 boxes

Hence, Jenna sold 280 and Becca sold 105 boxes.

B. Increasing the tolls implies that there must be adjustment in the automated tolling machines and this would incur cost on the authority, this contract would be executed by private contractors.

The function f(t)= 5 tan 2 t, does not have an amplitude and has a period of π.
trasher [3.6K]

ANSWER

False

EXPLANATION

The tangent function has no amplitude because it is not bounded.

The given tangent function is

f(t) = 5 \tan(2t)

This is of the form

f(t)=a tan(bt)

The period is given by

T =  \frac{\pi}{ |b| }

T =  \frac{\pi}{ |2| }  =  \frac{\pi}{2}

The first statement is true but the second is false.

Hence the whole statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

write pythagorean theorem x^{2} + x^{2} = 10^2

2x^2 = 100

divide 2 both side:

x^{2} = 50

\sqrt{x^2} = \sqrt{50}

x = \sqrt{50}

x = 7.07106781

round to nearest tenth:

x = 7.1
