Answer:

3x +4y = 118

5x+6y =180

y= $25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the cost of a flashlight

Let y = the cost of a sleeping bag

3x +4y = 118

5x+6y =180

Multiply the first equation by -5

-5(3x +4y) = -5*118

-15x -20y = -590


Multiply the second equation by 3

3(5x+6y) =3*180

15x + 18y = 540

Add the modified equations together.

We are using elimination to eliminate the variable x

-15x -20y = -590

15x + 18y = 540

----------------------------

-2y = -50

Divide by -2

-2y/-2 = -50/-2

y =25

Each sleeping bag costs $25

Estimate the solution of the system x+y=4 2x-y=6 by sketching a graph of each linear function. Then solve the system algebraical
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

(10/3, 2/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

You may find it easier to write these two equations x+y=4 2x-y=6 in a column:

x+y=4

2x-y=6

Adding these together will eliminate y:

3x = 10.  Then x = 10/3.

Substituting 10/3 for x in the first equation results in:

10/3 + y = 4

Clear fractions by multiplying all three terms by 3:

10 + 3y = 12

Then 3y = 2, and y = 2/3.

The solution is (10/3, 2/3)

find the local and/or absolute extrema for the function over the specified domain. (Order your answers from smallest to largest
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Minimum 8 at x=0, Maximum value: 24 at x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Retrieving data from the original question:

f(x)=x^{2}+8\:over\:[-1,4]

1) Calculating the first derivative

f'(x)=2x

2) Now, let's work to find the critical points

Set this

2x=0\\x=0    

0, belongs to the interval. Plug it in the original function

f(0)=(0)^2+8\\f(0)=8

3)  Making a table x, f(x) then compare

x|  f(x)

-1 | f(-1)=9  

0 | f(0)=8   Minimum

4 | f(4)=24 Maximum

4) The absolute maximum value is 24 at x=4 and the absolute minimum value is 8 at x=0.
