Answer:

$0.75x + 0.15y = 90$

greatest number of pens =120

greatest number of pencils = 600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pens

Let y represent the number of pencils.

Each pen costs $0.75

Cost of x pens = 0.75 x

Each pencil costs $0.15.

Cost of y pencils = 0.15y

Now we are given that The glee club has $90 to spend on pens and pencils.

So, $0.75x + 0.15y = 90$

So,t the equation that describes the number of club pens and pencils that the glee club can buy is $0.75x + 0.15y = 90$

Part A) $0.75x + 0.15y = 90$

Part B )What is the greatest number of each type of writing tool that the club can buy?

$0.75x + 0.15y = 90$

Substitute y = 0

$0.75x = 90$

$x = \frac{90}{0.75}$

$x = 120$

greatest number of pens =120

Substitute x = 0

$0.15y= 90$

$y = \frac{90}{0.15}$

$y = 600$

greatest number of pencils = 600

What are the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) = 2x2 – 10x – 3?

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

$x=\frac{50+\sqrt{31}}{2},\frac{50-\sqrt{31}}{2}$ are zeroes of given quadratic equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been a quadratic equation:

$2x^2-10x-3$

We need to find the zeroes of quadratic equation

We have a formula to find zeroes of a quadratic equation:

$x=\frac{b^2\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}\text{where}D=\sqrt{b^2-4ac}$

General form of quadratic equation is $ax^2+bx+c$

On comparing general equation with b given equation we get

a=2,b=-10,c=-3

On substituting the values in formula we get

$D=\sqrt{(-10)^2-4(2)(-3)}$

$\Rightarrow D=\sqrt{100+24}=\sqrt{124}$

Now substituting D in $x=\frac{b^2\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}$ we get

$x=\frac{(-10)^2\pm\sqrt{124}}{2\cdot 2}$

$x=\frac{100\pm\sqrt{124}}{4}$

$x=\frac{100\pm2\sqrt{31}}{4}$

$x=\frac{50\pm\sqrt{31}}{2}$

Therefore, $x=\frac{50+\sqrt{31}}{2},\frac{50-\sqrt{31}}{2}$

PLS ANSWER CORRECTLY AND FAST I NEED TO SUBMIT PLS HELP PLS PLS PLS PLS......

astra-53 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

1

vector AB(3-(-6); 5-7)

vector AB(9;-2)

AB= $\sqrt{9^{2}+(-2)^{2} }$ = $\sqrt{85}$

2

M is the midpoint of AB

we have B(-5;10) and M(1;7)

let A(x;y)

(x-5)/2 = 1 ⇒ x-5 = 2⇒ x = 7

(10=y)/2 = 7⇒ 10+y = 14 ⇒y= 4

so : A(7;4)

3

the center of the circle is the midponit of the line joining both ends of the diameter

let A(x;y) be the other end

(-2+x)/2 = 2 ⇒ -2+x = 4⇒ x= 6

(5=y) = -1 ⇒ 5+y = -2 ⇒ y= -7

so the coordinates of the other end are (6; -7)

4

A,B and C are collinear such as AB=BC so b is the midpoint of AC

(-5+1)/2 = y ⇒ y = -4/2 ⇒ y = -2

((-3=x)/2 = 7 ⇒ -3+x = 14 ⇒ x = 17

so x= 17 and y = -2
