Answer: A cherry pie costs 9 and an apple pie cost 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let an apple pie be represented by a

Let an cherry pie be represented by c

Jennifer sold 12 cherry pies and 3 apple pies for a total of 144. This can be written as:

12c + 3a= 144

Jacob sold 2 cherry pies and 9 apple pies for a total for 126. This can be written as:

2c + 9a = 126

12c + 3a= 144 ............. i

2c + 9a = 126 ........... ii

Multiply equation i by 2

Multiply equation ii by 12

24c + 6a = 288 ........ iii

24c + 108a = 1512 ...... iv

Subtract iv from iii

-102a = -1224

a = 1224/102

a = 12

An apple pie costs 12

From equation i

12c + 3a= 144

12c + (3×12) = 144

12c + 36 = 144

12c = 144 - 36

12c = 108

c = 108/12

c = 9

A cherry pie costs 9

Two exponential functions are shown in the table. A 3-column table has 5 rows. The first column is labeled x with entries 2, 1,
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

B. The functions f(x) and g(x) are reflections over the y-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given the table appears as;

x            f(x)=2^x              g(x)=0.5^x

2               4                            0.25

1                 2                           0.5

0                1                             1

-1                0.5                         2

-2               0.25                       4

Plotting the two graphs to view the trends;

In the graph of f(x)=2^x against x you notice a curve with increasing positive slope.

In the graph of g(x)=0.5^x against x you notice a curve with a negative slope that is increasing.

In combining both graphs you notice that f(x) and g(x) are reflections over the y-axis.

Correct answer is ;The functions f(x) and g(x) are reflections over the y-axis.

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

As the question states, predict how many times. I don't get the "realistic" prediction part, but however,

he caught it 9/10 times. I can predict he will catch it 29.7 times, rounded to 30 times.

Find the area bounded by the graphs of the indicated equations over the given interval.
NeX [460]

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 0

is basically the horizontal axis.

First, find the integral of x^2-25.

Remember that

integral of a constant is that constant times x.

Also that

to take the integral of a power function, add 1 to the degree and divide by that same degree.

y =  {x}^{2}  - 25

We then get

\frac{ {x}^{3} }{3}  - 25x

Evaluate at -3

\frac{ - 3 {}^{3} }{3}  - 25( - 3)

- 27 + 75 = 48

Then we evaluate at 0

\frac{0 {}^{3} }{3}  - 25(0) = 0

Next, we subtract the the answer then we get

48 - 0 = 48
