Answer:

$1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

This can best be determined using a set of linear equations that are solved simultaneously.

This pair of linear equations may be solved simultaneously by using the elimination method. This will involve ensuring that the coefficient of one of the unknown variables is the same in both equations.

Let the cost of a cookie be c, cost of a doughnut be d and that of a box of doughnut hole be h then if cost of 4 cookies, 6 doughnuts, and 3 boxes of doughnut holes is $8.15, we have

4a + 6d + 3h = 8.15

and the cost of 2 cookies, 3 doughnuts, and 4 boxes of doughnuts holes is $7.20 then

2a + 3d + 4h = 7.20

Dividing the first by 2

2a + 3d + 1.5h = 4.075

subtracting from the second equation

2.5h = 3.125

h = 1.25

The cost of a box of doughnut holes is $1.25

Suppose f(x) = x^2 and
SpyIntel [72]

Given:

The two functions are:

f(x)=x^2

g(x)=\left(\dfrac{1}{3}x\right)^2

To find:

The statement that best compares the graph of g(x) with the graph of f(x).

Solution:

The horizontal stretch is defined as:

g(x)=f(kx)            ...(i)

If 0, the function f(x) is horizontally stretched by factor \dfrac{1}{k}.

If k>1, the function f(x) is horizontally compressed by factor \dfrac{1}{k}.

We have,

f(x)=x^2

g(x)=\left(\dfrac{1}{3}x\right)^2

Using these functions, we get

g(x)=f\left(\dfrac{1}{3}x\right)         ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

k=\dfrac{1}{3}

Since 0, the function f(x) is horizontally stretched by factor \dfrac{1}{\frac{1}{3}}=3.

Hence, the correct option is D.

Which formula can you use to find the radius (r)r if you know that C=2πr?
fgiga [73]
First of all, it is 2r\pi and it would be divide by 3.14 (pi) and then you should have the diameter. Then divide by 2 to find radius.

Write in standard form: y=2/3x+1
garri49 [273]
Standard form : Ax + By = C

y = 2/3x + 1
-2/3x + y = 1....multiply by -3
2x - 3y = -3 <=== standard form

What is the size of angle c?
lesantik [10]

Answer:

55°

Step-by-step explanation:

d = 180 - 80 = 100

100 + 130 + 90 + (180 - 85) + (180 - c)

= 540

595 - c = 540

c = 595 - 540

c = 55°
