Answer:

The cost for each pound of trail mix is $ 1.75 and each pound of jelly beans is $ 2.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let each pound of trail mix cost x dollars and each pound of jelly beans cost y dollars.

Given:

7 pounds of trail mix and 9 pounds of jelly beans cost $ 37.

So, 7x+9y=37--------------- 1

Also, 5 pounds of trail mix and 3 pounds of jelly beans cost $ 17.

So, 5x +3y=17--------------- 2

Multiplying equation 2 by -3, we get

(5x +3y=17)\times -3\\-15x-9y=-51-------- 3

Now, adding equations 1 and 3, we get

7x+9y-15x-9y=37-51\\7x-15x=-14\\-8x=-14\\x=\frac{-14}{-8}=\$1.75

Now, plug in x=1.75 in equation 1 and solve for y.

7(1.75)+9y=37\\12.25+9y=37\\9y=37-12.25\\9y=24.75\\y=\frac{24.75}{9}\\ y=\$2.75

Therefore, the cost for each pound of trail mix is $ 1.75 and each pound of jelly beans is $ 2.75.

Answer:

:)

Step-by-step explanation:

For simplicity I will substitue x for β.

1-sin(2x)=(cosx-sinx)^2\\1-2sin(x)cos(x)=cos^2x-2sin(x)cos(x)+sin^2x\\1=cos^2(x)+sin^2(x)\\1=1

In the first step I used the identity

sin(2x)=2sin(x)cos(x)

And I factored out (cosx-sinx)^2

Then it's just simple algebra to cancel till the 3rd step where we used another identity derived from the Pythagorean Theorem.

cos^2(x)+sin^2(x)=1

That's it!

How are the real solutions of a quadratic equation related to the graph of the quadratic function?
Anika [276]
The solutions you get when you solve the formula are the corresponding y coordinates to your x value. So say a point on your graph is (2,3). The first number is x and the second is y. (x,y). The number you plug into your function is x,or in this case: 2. The solution to the equation when the x value is plugged in is y, or 3. Therefore, giving you a point on your graph.
