Answer:

A pound of a JELLY BEANS cost $2.5

A pound of TRAIL MIX cost $1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we can draw out two equations and solve them simultaneously.

We should make some mild assumptions to make it easier:

Let Jelly beans be j

Let Trail mix be t

Therefore, we can extract these equations.

5j + 3t =$ 17 ...........i

2j + 12t = $ 23...…..ii

Let's Multiply equation (I) by 4 so that we can easily eliminate.

20j + 12t = $ 68..... iii

Let equation (iii) minus equation (ii)

18j + 0t = $45

18j = $45

j = $45/18

j = $2.5

A pound of a JELLY BEANS cost $2.5

Let's substitute j= $2.5 in EQUATION (I) so as to solve for TRAIL MIX.

5j + 3t =$ 17

5(2.5) + 3t = 17

12.5 + 3t = 17

3t = 17 - 12.5

3t = 4.5

t = $1.5

A pound of TRAIL MIX cost $1.5

The function f(t) = 4t2 − 8t + 6 shows the height from the ground f(t), in meters, of a roller coaster car at different times t.
gregori [183]

Answer:

The correct option is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of a parabola is

f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k            .... (1)

where a, h, and k are integers, and interpret the vertex of f(t). (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.

The given function is

f(x)=4t^2-8t+6

It can be written as

f(x)=4(t^2-2t)+6

If an expression is defined as x^2+bx, then we need to add (\frac{b}{2})^2 to make it perfect square.

In the expression t^2-2t the value of b is -2. So, we nned to add and subtract (\frac{-2}{2})^2 in the parenthesis.

f(x)=4(t^2-2t+1^2-1^2)+6

f(x)=4(t^2-2t+1)+4(-1)+6

f(x)=4(t-1)^2-4+6

f(x)=4(t-1)^2+2                .... (2)

The vertex form of the parabola is f(x)=4(t-1)^2+2.

From (1) and (2), we get h=1 and k=2. It means the vertex of the parabola is (1,2). Vertex of upward parabola is point of minima. So the  minimum height of the roller coaster is 2 meters from the ground.

Therefore the correct option is 3.

Travis made a business trip of
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

At 53 mph, he traveled for 1.5 hours

At 58 mph, he traveled for 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically;

distance = speed * time

let the time for the first part of the trip be x hours and the second part be y hours

Total hours is 3.5

So therefore;

x + y = 3.5 ••••••••(i)

Now let’s work with the rate

53 mph for x hours = 53 * x = 53x miles

58 mph for y hours = 58 * y = 58y miles

Adding both;

53x + 58y = 195.5 miles ••••••••(ii)

We have two equations to solve simultaneously

From i, x = 3.5 - y

insert into ii

53(3.5-y) + 58y = 195.5

185.5 - 53y + 58y = 195.5

5y = 195.5-185.5

5y = 10

y = 10/5

y = 2 hours

x = 3.5 - y

x = 3.5 - 2

x = 1.5 hours

There are 250 bricks used to build a wall that is 20 feet high. How many bricks will be used to build a wall that is 30 feet hig
Harrizon [31]
If there are 250 bricks in a 20 feet high wall, there should be 125 bricks in a 10 feet high wall.

So to get a 30 feet high wall, you need to multiple 125 bricks by 3.
