Answer:

The price of one jar of dipping sauce is $2.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the price of one bag of chip

y ----> the price of one jar of dipping sauce

we know that

<em>Corinne</em>

$5x+4y=21.82$ ----> equation A

<em>Ginger</em>

$4x+3y=16.86$ ----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (1.98,2.98)

see the attached figure

therefore

The price of one bag of chip is $1.98

The price of one jar of dipping sauce is $2.98

A^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 2(a − b − c) − 3. (1) Calculate the value of 2a − 3b + 4c.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

$2a - 3b + 4c = 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 2(a - b - c) - 3$

Required

Determine $2a - 3b + 4c$

$a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 2(a - b - c) - 3$

Open bracket

$a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 2a - 2b - 2c - 3$

Equate the equation to 0

$a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - 2a + 2b + 2c + 3 = 0$

Express 3 as 1 + 1 + 1

$a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - 2a + 2b + 2c + 1 + 1 + 1 = 0$

Collect like terms

$a^2 - 2a + 1 + b^2 + 2b + 1 + c^2 + 2c + 1 = 0$

Group each terms

$(a^2 - 2a + 1) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

Factorize (starting with the first bracket)

$(a^2 - a -a + 1) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$(a(a - 1) -1(a - 1)) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1) (a - 1)) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + (b^2 + b+b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + (b(b + 1)+1(b + 1)) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)(b + 1)) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + (c^2 + c+c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + (c(c + 1)+1(c + 1)) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + ((c + 1)(c + 1)) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + ((c + 1)^2) = 0$

Express 0 as 0 + 0 + 0

$(a - 1)^2 + (b + 1)^2 + (c + 1)^2 = 0 + 0+ 0$

By comparison

$(a - 1)^2 = 0$

$(b + 1)^2 = 0$

$(c + 1)^2 = 0$

Solving for $(a - 1)^2 = 0$

Take square root of both sides

$a - 1 = 0$

Add 1 to both sides

$a - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1$

$a = 1$

Solving for $(b + 1)^2 = 0$

Take square root of both sides

$b + 1 = 0$

Subtract 1 from both sides

$b + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1$

$b = -1$

Solving for $(c + 1)^2 = 0$

Take square root of both sides

$c + 1 = 0$

Subtract 1 from both sides

$c + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1$

$c = -1$

Substitute the values of a, b and c in $2a - 3b + 4c$

$2a - 3b + 4c = 2(1) - 3(-1) + 4(-1)$

$2a - 3b + 4c = 2 +3 -4$

$2a - 3b + 4c = 1$
