Answer:

  • chocolate: 6 pounds
  • jelly: 4 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of chocolate in the mix. Then the total price of 10 pounds of mix is ...

  10x +5(10 -x) = 80

  5x +50 = 80

  5x = 30

  x = 6 . . . . . . . . pounds of chocolate

  10 -x = 4 . . . . . pounds of jelly candy

6 pounds of chocolate and 4 pounds of jelly should be used to make the mixture.

1) El ritmo cardíaco de un gato ( en latidos por minuto) es función lineal de su temperatura corporal (en grados Celsius). En co

Answer:

y=10x-170

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be modeled by a linear function, where we have two points (37°C, 200) and (32°C, 150).

Notice that the temperature is the independent variable, because the heartbeat of the cat won't change the temperature, it works in the opposite way.

First, let's find the constant ratio of change.

m=\frac{150-200}{32-37}=\frac{-50}{-5}=10

This means the hearbeat of the car changes 10 pulses per minute each 1 celsius degree.

Now, we use the point slope formula to find the equation

y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )\\y-150=10(x-32)\\y=10x-320+150\\y=10x-170

Theerefore, the function that represents this situation is

y=10x-170

Where x represents temperature and y represents hearbeats.

Given:

The cost of each carnival ticket is $5.

To find:

The equation, table of values and graph for the given problem.

Solution:

Let x be the number of tickets and y be the total money spent on tickets.

Cost of one ticket = $5

Cost of x tickets = $5x

So, total cost is

y=5x

The required equation is y=5x.

At x=1,

y=5(1)

y=5

At x=2,

y=5(2)

y=10

At x=3,

y=5(3)

y=15

The required table of values is

x       y

1        5

2      10

3      15

So, the required table of values is table A.

From the above table, it is clear that the graph passes through the point (1,5), (2,10) and (3,15). The graph B passes through these points.

So, the required graph is graph B.

Since the required answers are y=5x, table A, graph B, therefore the correct option is B.
