Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a system of equations. The 2 equations are:

4c + 2p = 16

2c + 3p = 12

Let's get rid of the p's first. Do this by multiplying the first equation by -3 and the second equation by 2 to get a new system that looks like this:

-12x - 6p = -48

4c + 6p = 24

Now add to get

-8c = -24 and

c = 3

That means that chocolate is $3 per pound. Now sub that back in to either one of the original equations to get the price for peanuts:

4(3) + 2p = 16 and

12 + 2p = 16 and

2p = 4 so

p = 2

The price for peanuts is $2 per pound.

Graph the function y=<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7Bx%7D%20-2-5" id="TexFormula1" title="\sqrt{x} -2-5" alt="\sqrt{

Rashid [163]

Answer:

(3, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct equation is:

$y=\sqrt{x-2}-5$

From the list of given points, we have to identify which point lies on the graph. This can be done by using the value of x-coordinates from the given points and see if they result in the corresponding y-coordinate:

For point (1, 4)

$y=\sqrt{1-2}-5=\sqrt{-1}-5$ , This is not equal to 4, so it does not lie on the graph of given function.

For point (3, -4)

$y=\sqrt{3-2}-5=\sqrt{1}-5=-4$ , The answer ans corresponding y-coordinate are the same. This means, (3, -4) point lies on the graph of given function.

Likewise, checking for 3rd and 4th point we find out that they do not lie on the graph.

So the correct answer is (3, -4)

Suppose ABC is a right triangle with sides a, b, and c and right angle at C. Find the unknown side length using the Pythagorean

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

a = $\sqrt{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.:

<em>Suppose ABC is a right triangle with sides a, b, and c and right angle at C. Find the unknown side length using the Pythagorean theorem and then find the values of the six trigonometric functions for angle B. when b=3 and c=4</em>.

My answer:

We will Pythagoras theorem, which states that the sum of squares of two legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse of right triangle. Because the question says that ABC is a right triangle.

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

Given that: b=3 and c=4

$a^2+3^2=4^2a^2+9=16a^2+9-9=16-9a^2=7$

so a = $\sqrt{7}$

We know that tangent relates opposite side of a right triangle with adjacent side.

$\text{tan}(B)=\frac{a}{b}\\\text{tan}(B)=\frac{\sqrt{7}}{3}$

Which of the following best defines an angle?

scoray [572]

Answer:

Third option

Step-by-step explanation:

The first definition is not as broad as it should be, therefore, while an angle does meet that criteria, it's not a general definition, hence, it is incorrect. The second one is incorrect as well because a parabola has a vertex, and it is certainly not an angle. This definition is not specific enough, so it will be eliminated. The last one is again, too specific. The third one is the best answer because it is broad enough while still being specific.
