notice that the denominator can be factored into (x-3)(x+3).

Now you can cross out (x - 3) from the numerator and denomiantor resulting in a simplified fraction of $\frac{1}{x+3}$

Plug the limit value (which is 3) into the simplified fraction.

Answer: $\frac{1}{6}$

Answer: white = $13, double = $14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let white chocolate chip dough = x

Let double chocolate chip dough = y

Mary: 3x + 2y = 67

Darryl: -(3x + 4y = 95)

-2y = -28

÷-2 ÷-2

y = 14

3x + 2y = 67

3x + 2(14) = 67

3x + 28 = 67

-28 -28

3x = 39

÷3 ÷3

x = 13

A 2-liter bottle of juice costs $2.80. A box containing six 1/2 liter bottles sells for $3.90. Which option has a higher cost pe

muminat

Answer:

A. 2-liter bottle;$1.40

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find out which option has the higher cost per liter. To do this we must find out how much each option would be if it was a liter.

1st set up each equation
2-liter = $2.80 we can divide by 2 on both sides of the equal sign and we get 1 liter = $1.40.
6(1/2) liter bottles = $3.90 this becomes 3 liters = $3.90 then we divide by 3 on both sides of the equal sign and we get $1.30

2nd we compare
$1.40(2 liter bottle) > $1.30 (6 1/2 liter bottles)

The frequency table was made using a box containing slips of paper. Each slip of paper was numbered 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4.

inna [77]

In order to make a frequency plot first we need to find the proportion of each outcome.

Total number of results = 15+20+5+5+5 = 50

Frequency of 0 = 15
Proportion of 0 = 15/50 = 0.3

Frequency of 1 = 20
Proportion of 0 = 20/50 = 0.4

Frequency of 2 = 5
Proportion of 2 = 5/50 = 0.1

Frequency of 3 = 5
Proportion of 3 = 5/50 = 0.1

Frequency of 4 = 5
Proportion of 4 = 5/50 = 0.1

Now we need to plot the data on a frequency plot. The x-axis shows the outcomes from 0 to 4 and y-axis shows the frequency of each outcomes. The frequency plot is shown in the figure attached with.

so, let's keep in mind that

$\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$

so let's make a quick table of those solutions, say A, B, C solutions with x,y,z liters of acid, with an acidity of 0.25, 0.40 and 0.60 respectively.

$\bf \begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{solution}{quantity}&\stackrel{\textit{\% of }}{amount}&\stackrel{\textit{liters of }}{amount}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ A&x&0.25&0.25x\\ B&y&0.40&0.4y\\ C&z&0.60&0.6z\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ mixture&78&0.45&35.1 \end{array} \\\\\\ \begin{cases} x+y+z=78\\ 0.25x+0.4y+0.6z=35.1 \end{cases}$

we know she's using "z" liters and those are 3 times as much as "y" liters, so z = 3y.

$\bf \begin{cases} x+y+3y=78\\ x+4y=78\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ 0.25x+0.4y+0.6(3y)=35.1\\ 0.25x+0.4y=1.8y=35.1\\ 0.25x+2.2y=35.1 \end{cases}\implies \begin{cases} x+4y=78\\\\ 0.25x+2.2y=35.1 \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ x+4y=78\implies \boxed{x}=78-4y \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{using substitution on the 2nd equation}}{0.25\left( \boxed{78-4y} \right)+2.2y=35.1}\implies 19.5-y+2.2y=35.1$

$\bf 1.2y=15.6\implies y=\cfrac{15.6}{1.2}\implies \blacktriangleright y=13 \blacktriangleleft \\\\\\ x=78-4y\implies x=78-4(13)\implies \blacktriangleright x=26 \blacktriangleleft \\\\\\ z=3y\implies z=3(13)\implies \blacktriangleright z=39 \blacktriangleleft \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill \stackrel{25\%}{26}\qquad \stackrel{40\%}{13}\qquad \stackrel{60\%}{39}~\hfill$

Write the equation for the function graphed below.

avanturin [10]

Given the vertex of the parabola at point (2, -3):

The quadratic function in vertex form is:

f(x) = (x - 2)^2 - 3

where the vertex (h, k) is the minimum point = (2, -3).
