An employee at an organic food store is assembling gift baskets for a display. Using wicker baskets, the employee assembled 2 sm

all baskets and 4 large baskets, using a total of 60 pieces of fruit. Using wire baskets, the employee assembled 2 small baskets and 10 large baskets, using a total of 132 pieces of fruit. Assuming that each small basket includes the same amount of fruit, as does every large basket, how many pieces are in each?
The small baskets each include______pieces and the large ones each include_____pieces.

$Let \: x, y \: (x,y>0) \: be \: the \: number \: of \: fruits \: the \: small \: and \: large \: baskets \: hold \: respectively \\ We \: have \: a \: system \: of \: equations:2x + 4y = 60 \: \wedge \: 2x + 10y = 132 \\ \Leftrightarrow x = 6 \: \wedge \: y = 12 \\ \Rightarrow The \: small \: baskets \: each \: include \: 6 \: fruits \\ \Rightarrow The \: large \: baskets \: each \: include \: 12 \: fruits$

The local minima of $f\left(x\right)=\ \frac{\left(2x+3\right)^2\left(x\ -2\right)^5}{x^3\left(x-5\right)^2}$ are (x, f(x)) = (-1.5, 0) and (7.980, 609.174)

<h3>How to determine the local minima?</h3>

The function is given as:

$f\left(x\right)=\ \frac{\left(2x+3\right)^2\left(x\ -2\right)^5}{x^3\left(x-5\right)^2}$

See attachment for the graph of the function f(x)

From the attached graph, we have the following minima:

Minimum = (-1.5, 0)

Minimum = (7.980, 609.174)

The above means that, the local minima are

(x, f(x)) = (-1.5, 0) and (7.980, 609.174)

Help this is really hard

Answer:

x = 18, y = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 7 + a = 180 (linear pair)

But, a = 6x + 7 (alternate interior angles)

=> 4x - 7 + 6x + 7 = 180

=> 10x = 180

=> x = 18

Now, 3y - 20 = 6x + 7 (vertically opposite angles)

=> 3y - 20 = 6(18) + 7

=> 3y = 108 + 7 + 20

=> 3y = 135

=> y = 45

Hope it helps :)

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (5,8) and ( 11, 8)?

LenaWriter [7]

(5, 8) and (11, 8)

(y - yo) = m.(x - xo)

(8 - 8) = m.(11 - 5)

0 = m.6

m = 0

So,

(y - yo) = 0.(x - xo)

(y - yo) = 0

y = yo

y = 8
