Weight of one large bead is 1.5 grams and weight of one small bead is 8.75 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Weight of one large bead = x

Weight of one small bead = y

According to given statement;

12x+8y=88     Eqn 1

5x+2y=25      Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 2 by 4

4(5x+2y=25)\\20x+8y=100\ \ \ Eqn\ 3\\

Subtracting Eqn 1 from Eqn 3

(20x+8y)-(12x+8y)=100-88\\20x+8y-12x-8y=12\\8x=12

Dividing both sides by 8

\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{12}{8}\\x=1.5

Putting x=1.5 in Eqn 1

12(1.5)+8y=88\\18+8y=88\\8y=88-18\\8y=70

Dividing both sides by 8

\frac{8y}{8}=\frac{70}{8}\\y=8.75

Weight of one large bead is 1.5 grams and weight of one small bead is 8.75 grams.

The point given is on the terminal side of an angle theta. Find the exact values of the six trig functions of theta.. (-3,2)
Dima020 [189]
We can use SOH, CAH and TOA, but first we must find the length of a hypotenuse:
h =\sqrt{(-3) ^{2}+2^{2} } =  \sqrt{9+4}= \sqrt{13}
sin (theta)= 2/√13
cos ( theta) = -3/√13
tan (theta) = -2/3
cot (theta ) = -3/2
sec (theta) = 1/cos(theta ) = -√13/3
csc(theta ) = 1/ sin (theta) = √13/2

Given the function f(x)=-2x^2+4x-7, find f(-4)
jeka57 [31]
Let's begin by evaluating f(x) using the value of 3:    f(x) = 2x2 - 4x - 4 (original function)    f(3) = 2(3)2 - 4(3) - 4 (plugging in 3 for x)    f(3) = 2 (computed result) Now let's evaluate g(x) using the value of 3:    g(x) = 4x - 7 (original function)    g(x) = 4(3) - 7 (plugging in 3 for x)    g(x) = 5 (computed result) Finally, we'll sum our results:    (f + g)(3) = 2 + 3 (add f(3) and g(3))    <span>(f + g)(3) = 5 (final answer)</span>
