Answer: the price of one taco is $2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price of one taco.

Let y represent the price of one burritos.

Melissa purchased 4 tacos and 2 burritos and her total was $21. This means that

4x + 2y = 21- - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Casey purchased 4 tacos and 3 burritos and her total was $26.50. This means that

4x + 3y = 26.5- - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1, it becomes

- y = - 5.5

y = 5.5

Substituting y = 5.5 into equation 1, it becomes

4x + 2 × 5.5 = 21

4x + 11 = 21

4x = 21 - 11

4x = 10

x = 10/4

x = 2.5

Prove the function f: R- {1} to R- {1} defined by f(x) = ((x+1)/(x-1))^3 is bijective.
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

See explaination

Step-by-step explanation:

given f:R-\left \{ 1 \right \}\rightarrow R-\left \{ 1 \right \} defined by f(x)=\left ( \frac{x+1}{x-1} \right )^{3}

let f(x)=f(y)

\left ( \frac{x+1}{x-1} \right )^{3}=\left ( \frac{y+1}{y-1} \right )^{3}

taking cube roots on both sides , we get

\frac{x+1}{x-1} = \frac{y+1}{y-1}

\Rightarrow (x+1)(y-1)=(x-1)(y+1)

\Rightarrow xy-x+y-1=xy+x-y-1

\Rightarrow -x+y=x-y

\Rightarrow x+x=y+y

\Rightarrow 2x=2y

\Rightarrow x=y

Hence f is one - one

let y\in R, such that f(x)=\left ( \frac{x+1}{x-1} \right )^{3}=y

\Rightarrow \frac{x+1}{x-1} =\sqrt[3]{y}

\Rightarrow x+1=\sqrt[3]{y}\left ( x-1 \right )

\Rightarrow x+1=\sqrt[3]{y} x- \sqrt[3]{y}

\Rightarrow \sqrt[3]{y} x-x=1+ \sqrt[3]{y}

\Rightarrow x\left ( \sqrt[3]{y} -1 \right ) =1+ \sqrt[3]{y}

\Rightarrow x=\frac{\sqrt[3]{y}+1}{\sqrt[3]{y}-1}

for every y\in R-\left \{ 1 \right \}\exists x\in R-\left \{ 1 \right \} such that x=\frac{\sqrt[3]{y}+1}{\sqrt[3]{y}-1}

Hence f is onto

since f is both one -one and onto so it is a bijective
