Let L and S represent the weights of large and small boxes, respectively. The problem statement gives rise to two equations:
.. 7L +9S = 273
.. 5L +3S = 141

You can solve these equations various ways. Using "elimination", we can multiply the second equation by 3 and subtract the first equation.
.. 3(5L +3S) -(7L +9S) = 3(141) -(273)
.. 8L = 150
.. L = 150/8 = 18.75
Then we can substitute into either equation to find S. Let's use the second one.
.. 5*18.75 +3S = 141
.. S = (141 -93.75)/3 = 15.75

A large box weighs 18.75 kg; a small box weighs 15.75 kg.

What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (-4,17/8) and a directrix of y=15/8
Temka [501]
So hmm notice the graph below

based on where the focus point is at, and the directrix, then, the parabola is opening upwards, meaning the squared variable is the "x"

\bf \begin{array}{llll}
(y-{{ k}})^2=4{{ p}}(x-{{ h}}) \\\\
\boxed{(x-{{ h}})^2=4{{ p}}(y-{{ k}})}\\
\end{array}
\qquad 
\begin{array}{llll}
vertex\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\\\
{{ p}}=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\
\qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}
\end{array}

now, keep in mind, the vertex is at coordinates h,k
the vertex itself is half-way between the focus and directrix
the directrix is at y=15/8 and the focus is at y=17/8
so, half-way will then be \bf \cfrac{17}{8}-\cfrac{15}{8}=\cfrac{2}{8}\iff \cfrac{1}{4}

well, so is 1/4 between the focus point and the directrix, half of that is 1/8
so, if you move from the focus point 1/8 down, you'll get the y-coordinate for the vertex, or 1/8 up from the directrix, since the vertex is equidistant to either

what's the "p" distance? well, we just found it, is just 1/8

so, the x-coordinate is obviously -4, get the y-coordinate by 17/8 - 1/8   or 15/8 + 1/8

and plug your values (x-h)² = 4p(y-k)   and then solve for "y", that's the equation of the quadratic

The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g(x):
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Part A: Both functions' slopes increase at intervals of four in a positive manner, so they will rise to the right.

Part B: g(x) has a greater y intercept as it is y=3 and f(x) is y=-1

ROUND OFF 0.524 TO THE NEAREST HUNDREDTHS
larisa [96]

0.52

Step-by-step explanation:

To round 0.524 to the nearest hundredth consider the thousandths’ value of 0.524, which is 4 and less than 5. Therefore, the hundredths’ value of 0.524 remains 2.

0.524 rounded to the nearest hundredth = 0.52

The numbers of students in the four
Ludmilka [50]

The total number of students in the four classes is 100 students.

<h3>How to compute the value?</h3>

From the information, the numbers of students in the four sixth-grade classes at Northside School are 26, 19, 34, and 21.

Therefore, the total number of students will be:

= 26 + 19 + 34 + 21

= 100

Therefore there are 100 students.
