Answer:

a) We want to find p(3) and if we replace x=3 into p(x) we got:

p(3) = 0.03*(3)^2 +0.42*3 +9.63 = 11.16

b) We want to find p(13) and if we replace x=13 into p(x) we got:

p(13) = 0.03*(13)^2 +0.42*13 +9.63 = 20.16

c) p(13)-p(3) = [0.03*(13)^2 +0.42*13 +9.63]-[0.03*(3)^2 +0.42*3 +9.63] = 20.16-11.16 = 9

d)  \frac{p(13)-p(3)}{13-3}

If we use the result from part c we have:

\frac{p(13)-p(3)}{13-3}= \frac{9}{10}= 0.9

And the interpretation for this case would be:

It represents the average rate of change in price from 1996 to 2006.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following function given:

p(x) = 0.03 x^2 +0.42 x +9.63

Part a

We want to find p(3) and if we replace x=3 into p(x) we got:

p(3) = 0.03*(3)^2 +0.42*3 +9.63 = 11.16

Part b

We want to find p(13) and if we replace x=13 into p(x) we got:

p(13) = 0.03*(13)^2 +0.42*13 +9.63 = 20.16

Part c

For this case we want to find p(13) -p(3) and we have from the results of part a and b this:

p(13)-p(3) = [0.03*(13)^2 +0.42*13 +9.63]-[0.03*(3)^2 +0.42*3 +9.63] = 20.16-11.16 = 9

Part d

For this case we want to find:

\frac{p(13)-p(3)}{13-3}

If we use the result from part c we have:

\frac{p(13)-p(3)}{13-3}= \frac{9}{10}= 0.9

And the interpretation for this case would be:

It represents the average rate of change in price from 1996 to 2006.

The cone to the right has a height of 11 in. and a volume of
Contact [7]

Answer:

2.99924 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cone

V = pi x r^2 x h/3

So to solve this problem you plug in the number we already have which is the volume and the height

103.62 = pi x r^2 x 11/3

28.26 = pi x r^2

28.26/pi = r^2

\sqrt{\frac{28.26}{\pi }  } = r ≈ 2.99924

Layla emptied out her change jar to buy a new binder for school. She found 147 coins consisting of dimes and nickels that totale
den301095 [7]

Answer:

d + n = 147

0.10d + 0.05n = 11.65

d = 86, n = 61

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Number of dimes = d

Number of nickels = n

Total coins = 147

Total value = $11.65

d + n = 147 (1)

0.10d + 0.05n = 11.65 (2)

From (1)

d = 147 - n

Substitute d = 147 - n into

0.10d + 0.05n = 11.65

0.10(147 - n) + 0.05n = 11.65

14.7 - 0.10n + 0.05n = 11.65

- 0.10n + 0.05n = 11.65 - 14.7

-0.05n = -3.05

n = -3.05 / -0.05

= 61

n = 61

Substitute n = 61 into

d + n = 147

d + 61 = 147

d = 147 - 61

d = 86

Answer:

meat = $2.40

vegetables = $ 2.40

fruit = $2.40 + X

= 2.40 ÷ 2

= 1.2

therefore 2.40 + 1.2

=$3.6 (For fruits )

= $3.6 + $2.40 + $2.40

= $ 8.4
