Chloe purchased some dried mango and dried kiwi to make some trail mix. The dried mango cost ​$2.11 per pound and the dried kiwi

cost ​$5.07 per pound. If she spent ​$40.34 for 10 pounds of dried​ fruit, how many pounds of each fruit did she​ have?

Answer:

Number of pounds of dried mangoes Chloe bought = 3.5

Number of pounds of dried kiwi Chloe bought bough = 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of pounds of dried fruit purchased = 10

Let number of pounds of dried mango purchased = x

Let number of pounds of dried kiwi purchased be = y

Total weight of dried fruits purchased = x+y

So, we have a sum equation as:

x+y=10

Total cost of dried fruits = $40.34

Cost of a pound of dried mango = $2.11

Cost of x pounds of dried mango in dollars can be given as = 2.11x

Cost of a dried kiwi = $5.07

Cost of y pounds of dried kiwi in dollars can be given as = 5.07y

Total cost of dried fruits in dollars = 2.11x+5.07y

So, we have a cost equation as:

2.11x+5.07y=40.34

The system of equations is :

A) x+y=10

B) 2.11x+5.07y=40.34

Solving by substitution.

Rearranging equation A, to solve for y in terms of x

Subtracting both sides by x

x+y-x=10-x

y=10-x

Substituting value of y we got from A into equation B.

2.11x+5.07(10-x)=40.34

Using distribution.

2.11x+50.7-5.07x=40.34

Simplifying.

-2.96x+50.7=40.34

Subtracting both sides by 50.7.

-2.96x+50.7-50.7=40.34-50.7

-2.96x=-10.36

Dividing both sides by -2.96.

\frac{-2.96x}{-2.96}=\frac{-10.36}{-2.96}

∴ x=3.5

We can plugin x=3.5 in the rearranged equation A to get value of y

y=10-3.5

∴ y=6.5

So, number of pounds of dried mangoes Chloe bought = 3.5

Number of pounds of dried kiwi Chloe bought bough = 6.5

9. Calcule el valor de la fuerza que experimenta un ascensor cuando levanta 150 kg en los siguientes casos: a) Cuando asciende c
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

a) La fuerza neta que experimenta un ascensor cuando asciende con una aceleración de 4 metros por segundo al cuadrado es 600 newtons hacia arriba.

b) La fuerza neta que experimenta un ascensor cuando desciende con una aceleración de 6 metros por segundo al cuadrado es 900 newtons hacia abajo.

c) Por la fuerza de tensión sobre el cable del ascensor.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) La fuerza neta experimentada por el ascensor (F), en newtons, es:

F = m\cdot a (1)

Donde:

m - Masa, en kilogramos.

a - Aceleración, en metros por segundo cuadrado.

Si sabemos que m = 150\,kg y a = 4\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, entonces la fuerza neta del ascensor es:

F = m\cdot a

F = 600\,N

La fuerza neta que experimenta un ascensor cuando asciende con una aceleración de 4 metros por segundo al cuadrado es 600 newtons hacia arriba.

b) Si sabemos que m = 150\,kg y a = -6\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, entonces la fuerza neta del ascensor es:

F = m\cdot a

F = -900\,N

La fuerza neta que experimenta un ascensor cuando desciende con una aceleración de 6 metros por segundo al cuadrado es 900 newtons hacia abajo.

c) De manera simplificada, el ascensor experimenta dos fuerzas que definen la fuerza y aceleración netas: (i) La fuerza de tensión sobre el cable que traslada el ascensor y el peso total del ascensor, opuesta a la anterior y en función de la aceleración gravitacional. Puesto que la masa no varía en ningún caso, se concluye que el peso es constante, entonces la diferencia de valores se debe a la fuerza por tensión del cable. En el descenso, es fuerza es menor que en el ascenso.

If the points (4,2) (6,3) and (8,4) are on the graph of f, give three points on the graph of f^-1
Stels [109]

let's recall that an inverse function has the same pair of coordinates as the original function, but backwards, or namely the inverse's range is the original's domain.

\bf \stackrel{f(x)}{\begin{array}{|cc|ll} \cline{1-2} 4&2\\ 6&3\\ 8&4\\ \cline{1-2} \end{array}}\qquad \qquad \stackrel{f^{-1}(x)}{\begin{array}{|cc|ll} \cline{1-2} 2&4\\ 3&6\\ 4&8\\ \cline{1-2} \end{array}}
