Two beach rental companies compared their sales from last weekend. Both companies rent out jet skis and kayaks, and they charge

the same prices. Will's Watersports made a total of $780 from renting 12 jet skis and 9 kayaks. Family Fun Rentals made a total of $570 from renting 7 jet skis and 11 kayaks. What is the cost of each type of rental?

Answer:

To rent a jet ski you need to pay $50 and to rent a kayak you need to pay $20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both shops charge the same amount for each kind of vehicle, we will assign variables to the their cost. The cost of a jet ski will be "x" and the cost of the kayak will be "y". Therefore we can create a system of equations as shown below:

Will's shop:

12*x + 9*y = 780

Fun Rentals:

7*x + 11*y = 570

\left \{ {{12x+ 9y=780} \atop {7x + 11y =570}} \right.\\

We can isolate "x" on the second equation, we have:

x = \frac{570 - 11y}{7}

Applying this value on the first equation:

12[\frac{570 - 11y}{7}] + 9y = 780\\\frac{6840 - 132y}{7} + 9y = 780\\\frac{6840 - 132y + 63y}{7} = 780\\ 6840 - 132y + 63y = 5460\\6840 - 69y = 5460\\69y = 1380\\y = 20

Applying the value of "y" we found on the "x" equation above, we have:x = \frac{570 - 11*20}{7}\\x = 50\\

Therefore to rent a jet ski you need to pay $50 and to rent a kayak you need to pay $20

A. Use composition to prove whether or not the functions are inverses of each other. B. Express the domain of the compositions u
Kryger [21]

Given: f(x) = \frac{1}{x-2}

           g(x) = \frac{2x+1}{x}

A.)Consider

f(g(x))= f(\frac{2x+1}{x} )

f(\frac{2x+1}{x} )=\frac{1}{(\frac{2x+1}{x})-2}

f(\frac{2x+1}{x} )=\frac{1}{\frac{2x+1-2x}{x}}

f(\frac{2x+1}{x} )=\frac{x}{1}

f(\frac{2x+1}{x} )=1

Also,

g(f(x))= g(\frac{1}{x-2} )

g(\frac{1}{x-2} )= \frac{2(\frac{1}{x-2}) +1 }{\frac{1}{x-2}}

g(\frac{1}{x-2} )= \frac{\frac{2+x-2}{x-2} }{\frac{1}{x-2}}

g(\frac{1}{x-2} )= \frac{x }{1}

g(\frac{1}{x-2} )= x


Since, f(g(x))=g(f(x))=x

Therefore, both functions are inverses of each other.


B.

For the Composition function f(g(x)) = f(\frac{2x+1}{x} )=x

Since, the function f(g(x)) is not defined for x=0.

Therefore, the domain is (-\infty,0)\cup(0,\infty)


For the Composition function g(f(x)) =g(\frac{1}{x-2} )=x

Since, the function g(f(x)) is not defined for x=2.

Therefore, the domain is (-\infty,2)\cup(2,\infty)

In a group of 10 people, there are 4 people that have the flu virus. Suppose we pick 3 random persons to test in order to determ
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Tests is 100% Accurate, so by using the formula of random variable probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of people = 10

Sample space = p(A) = 10

Number of people that have flu = n(s) = 4

Pick random 3 persons, the possibility that they have flue is n(A) = ?

Let X is the random variable, consisting of number of positive flu test,

Tests is 100% Accurate, so by using the formula of random variable probability, we get

  P(X) = n (A) / n(S)

  P(X)      = ¾, is the probability of having positive flu test
