Answer:

He bought approximately 16 pigs.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find how many pigs the farmer had originally all you have to do is add three to amount of pigs he sold, since three of the died. In order to find how many he sold all you need to do is divide 109 by 8, since he made a profit of $8 per pig. 109 / 8 = 13.625, 13.625 + 3 = 16.625

The parametric equations x = x1 + (x2 − x1)t, y = y1 + (y2 − y1)t where 0 ≤ t ≤ 1 describe the line segment that joins the point
Ulleksa [173]

It is a bit tedious to write 6 equations, but it is a straightforward process to substitute the given point values into the form provided.


For segment ab. (x1, y1) = (1, 1); (x2, y2) = (3, 4).

... x = 1 + t(3-1)

... y = 1 + t(4-1)

ab = {x=1+2t, y=1+3t}


For segment bc. (x1, y1) = (3, 4); (x2, y2) = (1, 7).

... x = 3 + t(1-3)

... y = 4 + t(7-4)

bc = {x=3-2t, y=4+3t}


For segment ca. (x1, y1) = (1, 7); (x2, y2) = (1, 1).

... x = 1 + t(1-1)

... y = 7 + t(1-7)

ca = {x=1, y=7-6t}
