Beth and Sarah are selling candy for a school fundraiser. Customers can buy small boxes of candy and large boxes of candy. Beth

sold 9 small boxes of candy and 10 large boxes of candy for a total of $297. Sarah sold 8 small boxes of candy and 5 large boxes of candy for a total of $194.
What is the cost of one small box of candy, and what is the cost of one large box of candy?

Hint: Solve a system of two equations using the elimination method.

Answer:

Cost of small box = $13

Cost of large box = $18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of small box of candy = $s

And the cost of large candy box = $b

Beth sold 9 small and 10 large boxes of candies for $297.

9s + 10b = 297 -----(1)

Sarah sold 8 small and 5 large boxes of candies for $194.

8s + 5b = 194 -------(2)

Multiply equation (2) by 2 then subtract equation (1) from (2).

2(8s + 5b) - (9s + 10b) = (2×194) - 297

16s + 10b - 9s - 10b = 388 - 297

7s = 91 ⇒ s = $13

From equation (2),

(8×13) + 5b = 194

104 + 5b = 194

5b = 90

b = $18

1. ) Consider the function f(x)=5−7x2,−5≤x≤1
Marat540 [252]
1.) The interval of the value of x is from -5 to 1, inclusive. Remember that what is asked is the absolute value, thus the sign does not matter even if you have to subtract x from 5. Thus, the maximum value would be obtained if the x is smaller, which is 1. The minimum value is obtained when x=-5.

Absolute maximum value: x = - 5
f(-5) = ║5 - 7(-5)^2║ = ║-170║=170


Absolute minimum value: x = 1
f(1) = ║5 - 7(1)^2║ = ║-2║= 2

2.) The Mean Value Theorem (MVT) applies to functions that are continuous and differentiable on the closed and open interval of a to b, respectively. Since the function is a quadratic function, MVT can be applied. Then, this means that there is a value of c which is between a and b. This could be determined using this formula according to MVT:

f'(c)= \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

The differentiated form would be f'(x) = -2x. Then,

-2c =  \frac{(4- 0^{2} )-(4- (-1)^{2}) }{0--1}=1

c=- \frac{1}{2}

Thus, x = -1, x = -1/2, and x=0 all lie in the function 4-x^2.

Given the graph of y=f(x), shown as a red dashed curve, drag the movable blue point to obtain the graph of y=f(x−4)+3.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

See graph in attachment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of y=f(x) is a parabola that has its vertex at the origin.

The equation of the transformed graph is

y=f(x-4)+3

The vertex of this transformed function is

(4,3)

Drag the blue graph up so that the vertex will now be at (4,3).

Determine the volume of the parallelepiped with one vertex at the origin and the three vertices adjacent to it at (2, â1, â1), (
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question

Find the volume of the parallelepiped with one vertex at the origin and adjacent vertices at (1, 0, -3), (1, 2, 4), and (5, 1, 0).

Solution

We find the volume of the parallelepiped by making a 3 × 3 column matrix whose columns are the corresponding coordinates of the vertices of the parallelepiped.

So, (1, 0, -3), (1, 2, 4)  and (5, 1, 0)

A = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&5\\0&2&1\\-3&4&0\end{array}\right]

The determinant of A is the volume of the parallelepiped. So,

detA = 1(2 × 0 - 4 × 1) - 1(0 × 0 - (-3) × 1) + 5(0 × 4 - (-3) × 2)

= 1(0 - 4) - 1(0 + 3) + 5(0 + 6)

= 1(-4) - 1(3) + 5(6)

= -4 - 3 + 30

= 23

So the volume of the parallelepiped is 23

The table shows how many books the students in Bergdalsskolan list during the summer. There were 48 students who list 4 books. a
Juliette [100K]

Step 1:

First, find the total number of students.

Let the total number of students = m

Step 2:

Find the total number of students using the percentage of 4 books.

48 students listed 4 books with a percentage of 16%

\begin{gathered} 48\text{ = 16\% of m} \\ 48\text{ = }\frac{16}{100}\text{   }\times\text{  m} \\ 48\text{ = }\frac{16m}{100} \\ \text{Cross multiply} \\ 16m\text{ = 48  }\times\text{  100} \\ 16m\text{ = 4800} \\ \text{m = }\frac{4800}{16} \\ \text{m = 300} \end{gathered}

Hence, there are 300 students.

a)

\begin{gathered} \text{Number of students that had 1 book = 24\% of 300} \\ =\text{ }\frac{24}{100}\text{  }\times\text{  300} \\ =\text{ }\frac{7200}{100} \\ =\text{ 72  students} \end{gathered}

72 students had 1 book.

b) What percentage more read 2 books than 4 books?

percentage that read 2 books = 36%

percentage that read 4 books = 16%

36 - 16 = 20%

There are 20% students that read 2 books than 4 books.
