Answer: the cost of a tent is $45

the cost of a sleeping bag is $35

the cost of a camp stool is $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of a tent.

Let y represent the cost of a sleeping bag.

Let z represent the cost of a camp stool.

A customer buys a​ tent, 3 sleeping​ bags, and 4 camp stools for ​$170. It means that

x + 3y + 4z = 170- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

The price of the tent is 9 times the cost of a camp stool. It means that

x = 9z

The cost of a sleeping bag is ​$30 more than the cost of a camp stool. It means that

y = z + 30

Substituting x = 9z and y = z + 30 into equation 1, it becomes

9z + 3(z + 30) + 4z = 170

9z + 3z + 90 + 4z = 170

9z + 3z + 4z = 170 - 90

16z = 80

z = 80/16

z = 5

y = z + 30 = 5 + 30

y = 35

x = 9z = 9 × 5

x = 45

Answer:

Cost of camp stool is $5 , cost of tent is $45 and cost of sleeping bag is $35

Step-by-step explanation:

Customer buys 1 tent,3 sleeping bags and 4 camp stools.

Let the cost of the camp stool = \[x\]

Then the price of the tent = \[9*x\]

Cost of the sleeping bag = \[x+30\]

The total cost of the items purchased by him is $170

\[=> 9x + 4x + 3(x+30) = 170\]

\[=> 9x + 4x + 3x+90 = 170\]

\[=> 16x = 80\]

\[=> x = 5\]

So cost of camp stool is $5 , cost of tent is $45 and cost of sleeping bag is $35.

stiks02 [169]

The function of the object height is an illustration of a projectile motion

The object will never hit the ground

<h3>How to determine when the object hits the ground?</h3>

The function is given as:

h=16t^2+80t+96.

When the object hits the ground, h = 0

So, we have:

16t^2+80t+96 = 0

Divide through by 16

t^2+5t+6 = 0

Expand

t^2 + 3t + 2t + 6 = 0

Factorize

t(t + 3) + 2(t + 3) = 0

Factor out t + 3

(t + 2)(t + 3) = 0

Solve for t

t = -2 or t = -3

The time (t) cannot be negative.

Hence, the object will never hit the ground

The discriminant explains how many solutions the quadratic function has. It is found using this formula:

b^2-4ac

Using the formula, there are three rules. Let's say the discriminant=d:
d<0 - No solution ø
d=0 -ONLY 1 solution
d>0 -2 solutions

In the following graph, there are no solutions as the graph does not hit the x-axis at any point. Thereafter, the discriminant MUST be less than zero. Let's view the options check which one agrees with our answer.

A - Discriminant is greater than 0, which means two solutions. This is WRONG.
B - Discriminant is less than 0, which means no solutions. CORRECT!
C- Discriminant is equal to 0, which means one solution. WRONG!

Your answer is B.
