Answer: the bill for a glass of apple juice is $0.7 and the bill for a salad is $1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the bill for a glass of apple juice.

Let y represent the bill for a salad.

The bill for five glasses of apple juice and four salads is $9.50. It means that

5x + 4y = 9.5 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

The bill for four glasses of apple juice and five salads is $10.30. This means that

4x + 5y = 10.30- - - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 4 and equation 2 by 5, it becomes

20x + 16y = 38

20x + 25y = 51.5

Subtracting, it becomes

- 9y = - 13.5

y = - 13.5/-9

y = 1.5

Substituting y = 1.5 into equation 1, it becomes

5x + 4 × 1.5 = 9.5

5x + 6 = 9.5

5x = 9.5 - 6 = 3.5

x = 3.5/5 = 0.7

A rectangular auditorium seats 1302 people. The number of seats in each row exceeds the number of rows by 11. Find the number of
sveticcg [70]
Number of seats = 42

Seats per row x row = 1302
s x r = 1302

rows + 11 = seats per row
r + 11 = s

s x r = 1302
(r + 11) x r = 1302
r^2 + 11r = 1302
r^2 + 11r - 1302 = 0
(r + 42) x (r - 31) = 0
r = -43 or 31

Cannot have negative rows so the number of rows is 31, and the number of seats per row is 31 + 11 = 42

Check: 31 x 42 = 1302 :)

Try to sketch by hand the curve of intersection of the parabolic cylinder y = x2 and the top half of the ellipsoid x2 + 7y2 + 7z
vovikov84 [41]

Plug y=x^2 into the equation of the ellipsoid:

x^2+7(x^2)^2+7z^2=49

Complete the square:

7x^4+x^2=7\left(x^4+\dfrac{x^2}7+\dfrac1{14^2}-\dfrac1{14^2}\right)=7\left(x^2+\dfrac1{14}\right)^2+\dfrac1{28}

Then the intersection is such that

7\left(x^2+\dfrac1{14}\right)^2+7z^2=\dfrac{1371}{28}

\left(x^2+\dfrac1{14}\right)^2+z^2=\dfrac{1371}{196}

which resembles the equation of a circle, and suggests a parameterization is polar-like coordinates. Let

x(t)^2+\dfrac1{14}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1371}{196}}\cos t\implies x(t)=\pm\sqrt{\sqrt{\dfrac{1371}{196}}\cos t-\dfrac1{14}}

y(t)=x(t)^2=\sqrt{\dfrac{1371}{196}}\cos t-\dfrac1{14}

z=\sqrt{\dfrac{1371}{196}}\sin t

(Attached is a plot of the two surfaces and the intersection; red for the positive root x(t), blue for the negative)

What is the range of this data set? {14, 25, 61, 18, 30, 32, 28, 45, 21} 47 28 7 I don't know.
kati45 [8]

The range of the dataset = 47

What is the range of a dataset?

The range of a set of data is the difference between the greatest number and least number

The given data set is:

{14, 25, 61, 18, 30, 32, 28, 45, 21}

The greatest number = 61

The least number = 14

The range of the dataset = Greatest Number - Least Number

The range of the dataset = 61  -  14

The range of the dataset = 47

Can someone help me and explain how you did it?
Feliz [49]

Answer:

slope: -3/5

y-intercept: (0, 4)

slope-intercept form: y = -3/5x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Finding the slope</u></h3>

To find the slope of this line, you would take two points from the table and substitute their coordinates into the slope formula.

Slope formula: \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

I'm going to use the points (0, 4) and (5, 1). You can really use any point from the table. Substitute these points into the formula to find the slope.

(0, 4), (5, 1) → \frac{1-4}{5-0} \rightarrow \frac{-3}{5}

This means the slope of the line is -3/5.

<h3><u>Finding the y-intercept</u></h3>

The y-intercept will always have the value of x be 0 (so the point is solely on the y-axis), so by looking at the table we can see that the y-intercept is at (0, 4).

<h3><u>Finding the slope-intercept form</u></h3>

Since we have the slope and a point of the line, we must use point-slope form to find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form. Substitute in the point (0, 4) --you could use any point from the table-- and the slope -3/5 into the point-slope form equation.

point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1) --you'll be substituting the point coordinates and slope into y1, x1, and m.

y - (4) = -3/5(x - (0))

Simplify.

y - 4 = -3/5x

Add 4 to both sides.

y = -3/5x + 4 is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form (you have both the slope and the y-intercept in this form).
