Answer:she used 99 pounds of type B coffee.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of type A coffee that she used.

Let y represent the number of pounds of type B coffee that she used.

Rita made 177 pounds of the blend. This means that

x + y = 177

Type A coffee costs Rita $5.70 per pound, and type B coffee costs $4.10 per pound. This month, the total cost of coffee that she made was $850.50. It means that

5.7x + 4.1y = 850.50 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 177 - y into equation 1, it becomes

5.7(177 - y) + 4.1y = 850.50

1008.9 - 5.7y + 4.1y = 850.5

- 5.7y + 4.1y = 850.5 - 1008.9

- 1.6y = - 158.4

y = - 158.4/ - 1.6

y = 99

Substituting y = 99 into x = 177 - y, it becomes

x = 177 - 99 = 78

Match the key features of the polynomial graph.
KiRa [710]

For the given graph local maximum (2.1,0.7), end behavior is positive infinity to negative infinity, local minimum (-2.7,-4.9), y interception (0,-1.5), and x interception will be at (2.1,0.7).

<h3>How to plot a graph?</h3>

A graph is a diagram that shows the fluctuation of one variable in relation to one or more other variables.

In order to plot the graph, we need to find out y's values corresponding to x's value

After that, we need to substitute the values of x's and y's into the coordinate geometry.

Given the graph with 1 maximum and 1 minimum and 1 x and y-intercept.

A key feature of the polynomial graph ;

Local maximum (2.1,0.7),

End behavior is positive infinity to negative infinity,

Local minimum (-2.7,-4.9),

y interception (0,-1.5),

x interception (2.1,0.7).

Hence "For the given graph local maximum (2.1,0.7), end behavior is positive infinity to negative infinity, local minimum (-2.7,-4.9), y interception (0,-1.5), and x interception will be at (2.1,0.7)".

In a freshman class of 80 students,22 students take Consumer Education,20 students take French,and 4 students take both.Which eq
MAXImum [283]
<h3>Answer: Choice C</h3>

P = 11/40 + 1/4 - 1/20

=========================================================

Explanation:

The formula we use is

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

In this case,

  • P(A) = 22/80 = 11/40 = probability of picking someone from consumer education
  • P(B) = 20/80 = 1/4 = probability of picking someone taking French
  • P(A and B) = 4/80 = 1/20 = probability of picking someone taking both classes

So,

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

P(A or B) = 11/40 + 1/4 - 1/20

which is why choice C is the answer

----------------

Note: P(A and B) = 1/20 which is nonzero, so events A and B are not mutually exclusive.

Eliza started her savings account with $100. Each month she deposits $25 into her account. Write the function that describes the
Stells [14]
Okay, since she started with $100, then that would be a constant. So the function would start off with f(x)=?+100. Okay, now since she is depositing $25 PER month, then the 'x' varibale would be per month. So the function would be f(x)=25x+100. Now since you want to know the rate of change, just insert the x value as the month. For example, you want to know how much money she has on the 4th month, so you would substitute 4 with x --> f(x)=25(4)+100, which is f(x)=200
