X - Columbian coffee ( in pounds),
y - Brazilian coffee ( in pounds );
x + y = 100
8.85 x + 3.85 y = 6.55 ( x + y )
----------------------------------------
x = 100 - y
8.85 ( 100 - y ) + 3.85 y = 6.55 * 100
855 - 8.55 y + 3.85 y = 655
- 5 y = - 230
y = ( - 230 ) : ( - 5 )
y = 46
x = 100 - 46
x = 54
Answer: 54 pounds of Columbian coffee and 46 pounds of Brazilian coffee should be used.

Show that one zero of 8x230x27 is the square of the other.

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

8x2-30x+27 has one root (9/4) the square of the other (3/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

8x2+30x+27 = (2*x+3)*(4*x+9) => solution = {-3/2, -4/9}

One is not the square of the other because squares are positive.

8x2-30x+27 = (2*x-3)*(4*x-9) =>

solution = {3/2, 4/9} since (4/9 = (3/2)^2, therefore the preceding question is correct.

In 1960, the population of a town was 14 thousand people. Over the course of the next 50 years, the town grew at a rate of 30 pe

andre [41]

SOLUTIONS

Given: Assume y is the population

$\begin{gathered} t=0=1960,y=14030 \\ t=1=1961,y=14060 \\ so\text{ b = 14000} \\ so\text{ k = 30} \end{gathered}$

The town grow at the rate of 30 people per year.

$y=kt+14000$ $y=30t+14000$

(A) The population predicted to be in 2030 will be

$\begin{gathered} 2030-1960=70 \\ y=30k+14000 \\ y=30(70)+14000 \\ y=2100+14000 \\ y=16100people \end{gathered}$

(B) so when y = 15000, find t

$\begin{gathered} y=15000 \\ y=30t+14000 \\ 15000=30t+14000 \\ 15000-14000=30t \\ 1000=30t \\ t=\frac{1000}{30} \\ t\approx33 \\ t=1960+33 \\ t=1993 \end{gathered}$
