Answer:

The price of the cake is $24 and the price of the Pie is $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

<em>Represent price of Cake with C and Price of Pie with P</em>

C = 9 + P

Cakes sold = 8

Pies sold = 14

Total = \$402

Required

Determine C and P

To represent the cakes and pies sold, we have the following expression

8C + 14P = 402

Substitute 9 + P for C

8(9+P) + 14P = 402

Open the bracket

72 + 8P + 14P = 402

Collect Like Terms

8P + 14P = 402 - 72

22P= 330

Divide both sides by 22

P = \frac{330}{22}

P = 15

Recall that

C = 9 + P

C = 9 + 15

C = 24

<em>Hence, the price of the cake is $24 and the price of the Pie is $15</em>

Elsa tries to solve the following equation, and determines there is no solution. Is she correct? Explain.
Vlad [161]
Elsa's answer is incorrect since there is a solution of the given equation. In the given logarithmic problem, we need to simplify the problem by transposing log2(3x+5) in the opposite side. The equation will now be log2x-log2(3x+5)=4. Using properties of logarithm, we further simplify the problem into a new form log (2x/6x+10)=4.  Then transform the equation into base form 10^4=(2x/6x+10) and proceed in solving for x value which is equal to 1.667.

Starting at the origin, go five spaces up and three spaces to the left. Which point is plotted using these directions?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

(-3,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you start at the origin (0), going up 5 spaces will leave you at 5 for your y plot. Then, 3 spaces <em>left</em> leaves you at -3 for your x. However, when writing down plots, you write x before y. So, you are left with (-3,5) as your coordinate plot for the final answer.

These are expression written as a function of sine, cosine and tangent. The value of x from the given function is 4.29

Trigonometry expression

These are expression written as a function of sine, cosine and tangent.

Given

tanx² - 1/3 = 0

Add 1/3 to both sides

tanx² - 1/3 + 1/3 = 0 + 1/3

tanx² = 1/3

x² = arctan(1/3)

x² = 18.44

x =4.29

Hence the value of x from the given function is 4.29
