Answer:

<h2>P = 6.25n</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem says that each set costs $6.25, and <em>n </em>refers to sets of pencils.

So, we know that "per" refers to multiplication, because if each set of pencil costs $6.25, then a <em>n </em>quantity of pencils will be the sum of $6.25 <em>n </em>times, which is the definition of multiplication. So, the equation that correctly determined the price is:

P=6.25n

The price is $6.25 per set of pencils, that is what this equation says.

Therefore, the right answer is the second one.

To solve, it would be 6.25n. That eliminates both 6n25 over P, P equals 6.25 over n, and n=6.25P, leaving P=6.25n as the answer.

Given sin θ = 3/5 what is sec θ?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this you must know that by definition secant is:


sec(\theta)=\frac{1}{cos(\theta)}


Furthermore:

sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\\\\cos(\theta)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}


Based on this information we know that 3 = opposite and 5 = hypotenuse.  Assuming this is a right triangle we can determine the adjacent side by Pythagorean Theorem.

c^2=a^2+b^2

Where c is the hypotenuse, a is adjacent and b is opposite.  Therefore,

c^2=a^2+b^2\\\\a=\sqrt{c^2-b^2} \\\\a=\sqrt{5^2-3^2} \\\\a=4


And so the adjacent side of this triangle is 4.  Going back to the definition of secant we can now know that:

sec(\theta)=\frac{1}{cos(\theta)}=\frac{1}{\frac{4}{5}}=\frac{5}{4}

How many solutions does the system of equations shown below have?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

one solution with a y value of 5

Step-by-step explanation:

/| x+y-4 = 0| x-y-6 = 0

We try to solve the equation: x+y-4 = 0

x+y-4 = 0 // - x-4

y = -(x-4)

y = 4-x

We insert the solution into one of the initial equations of our system of equations

We get a system of equations:

/| x+x-6-4 = 0| y = 4-x

2*x-10 = 0 // + 10

2*x = 10 // : 2

x = 10/2

x = 5

We insert the solution into one of the initial equations of our system of equations

For y = 4-x:  

y = 4-5

y = -1

We get a system of equations:

/| y = -1| x = 5
