The cost of 1 apple is 50 cents and cost of 1 banana is 35 cents and cost of 1 orange is 25 cents

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "a" be the cost of 1 apple

Let "b" be the cost of 1 banana

Let "r" be the cost of 1 orange

<em><u>Given that Apple costs the same as 2 oranges</u></em>

cost of 1 apple = 2 (cost of 1 orange)

a = 2r -------- eqn 1

<em><u>Together, an orange and a banana cost 10 cents more than an apple</u></em>

cost of 1 orange + cost of 1 banana = 10 + cost of 1 apple

r + b = 10 + a --------- eqn 2

<em><u>Two oranges cost 15 cents more that a banana</u></em>

cost of 2 orange = 15 + cost of 1 banana

2r = 15 + b ----- eqn 3

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1, eqn 2 and eqn 3</u></em>

From eqn 1 and eqn 3, substitute eqn 1 in eqn 3

a = b + 15 --- eqn 4

<em><u>Substitute eqn 4 in eqn 2</u></em>

r + b = 10 + b + 15

r = 10 + 15

<h3>r = 25</h3>

<em><u>Substitute r = 25 in eqn 3</u></em>

2(25) = 15 + b

50 - 15 = b

<h3>b = 35</h3>

<em><u>Substitute b = 35 in eqn 4</u></em>

a = 35 + 15

<h3>a = 50</h3>

Thus cost of one apple is 50 cents and cost of 1 banana is 35 cents and cost of 1 orange is 25 cents

Which function is non-linear ​
allsm [11]

Answer:

The answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is C because if you graph all of these points the only one that isn't linear is C. All the other ones are strait lines.

I hope this helps :))

Let f be a functions of degree 4 whose coefficients are real numbers: two of its zeros are - 3 and 4 - i. Explain why one of the
kvasek [131]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following theorem, if f is a polynomial with real coefficients, we can factor it completely in factors of the degree at most 2.

Consider first a polynomial of degree two, hence it is a polynomial of the form ax^2+bx+c. The cuadratic formula tells us that the solutions are of the form

x = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}.

Note that square root, over the reals, tells us that the are only real solutions if b^2-4ac \geq 0. If that is not the case, say it's negative, the solution are complex. Then, the solutions are of the form

x = \frac{-b \pm i \sqrt[]{4ac-b^2}}{2a}. NOte that this means that if we have a complex number of the form a+bi that is a solution, then the number a-bi (who is called the complex conjugate) is also a solution.

Recall that when we have a polynomial f(x) whose a zero is the number c, then we can factor f as follows f(x) = (x-c) * p(x) where p(x) is another polynomial of lesser degree .

So far, we know that -3 and 4-i are zeros of the function f. Note that we are missing two zeros. But, since complex numbers are zeros of polynomial only by pairs (that is the number and its conjugate are zeros), then, we must have that one of the missing 2 zeros is a real number. We have 4-i as a zero, then, its complex conjugate must be also a zero, i.e 4+i is a zero.
