Mrs. Aiken bought some peaches at $1.49 per pound and some blueberries at $1.99 per pound to use in fruit salad she is making fo

r an exciting math party at her house. She paid $20.38 for a total of 12 pounds of the two kinds of fruit. How many pounds of peaches did she buy?

P= peaches B=Blueberries
$1.49 p + $1.99 b = $20.38
p + b = 12 lbs.
Take p + b = 12 subtract p from both sides. b= 12-p
Now substitute b = 12 -p for b in $1.49 p + $1.99 b = $20.38
Looks like this $1.49 p + $1.99 ( 12-p ) = $20.38
Distribute $1.99 * 12 = 23.88
Distribute $1.99 * p = $1.99p
$1.49 p + $23.88 - $1.99p =$20.38
Combine $1.49 p - $1.99p = -0.50
-$0.50p + $23.88 = $20.38
Subtract $23.88 on both sides.
-$0.50p = -$3.50
Divide both sides by -$0.50
peaches= 7 lbs

How are rational functions similar to linear, quadratic, or exponential functions? How are they different? When are these simila
jeyben [28]

Answer:

See explanation below for further details.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational consist of two real numbers such that:

\frac{a}{b} =c

If c is a polynomial with a certain grade, then, both the numerator and the denominator must be also polynomials and the grade of the numerator must be greater than denominator.

If c is linear function, that is, a first order polynomial, then a must be a (n+1)-th polynomial and b must be a n-th polynomial.

Example:

If a = x^{2} and b = x, then:

c = \frac{x^{2}}{x}

c = x

If c is a quadratic function, that is, a second order polynomial, then a must be a (n+1)-th polynomial and b must be a n-th polynomial.

Example

If a = 3\cdot x^{3} and b = x, then:

c = \frac{3\cdot x^{3}}{x}

c = 3\cdot x^{2}

But if c is an exponential, both the numerator and the denominator must be therefore exponential function and grade of each exponential function must different to the other.

Example

If a = 10^{2x} and b = 3\cdot 10^x, then:

c = \frac{10^{2\cdot x}}{3\cdot 10^{x}}

c = \frac{1}{3}\cdot 10^{2\cdot x -x}

c = \frac{1}{3}\cdot 10^x

Otherwise, c would be equal to a constant function, that is, a polynomial with a grade 0.

If a = 5\cdot e^{x} and b = -3\cdot e^{x}, then:

Example

c = \frac{5\cdot e^{x}}{-3\cdot e^{x}}

c = -\frac{5}{3}

It is worth to add that exponential functions can be a linear combination of single exponential function, similar to polynomials.

Example

5\cdot a^2\cdot x -9

Perimeter is 24.

Length is 4 greater than the width.

Let's use 'x' for width

we can write this as x+4   +   x+4    +    x    +    x

x+4 being the width+4     and    x being the width

There are 4 sides to a rectangle so you are adding 4 values

Two length and two widths

so  we can then combine  the two lengths to make 2x+8

and then combine the two widths to make 2x

Then put it together.       2x+2x+8= 4x+8

4x+8=24

Subtract 8 from both sides

4x=16

divide both sides by 4

x=4

The width is 4.
