Answer:
2 cats were cared for
Step-by-step explanation:
c= cats
d=dogs
c+d =7
1.5c+3.5d=20.50
c+d =7
solve for d
d = 7-c
substitute into 1.5c+3.5d=20.50
1.5 c + 3.5 (7-c) = 20.50
distribute
1.5c +24.5 -3.5 c = 20.5
combine like terms
24.5 -2c =20.5
subtract 24.5 from each side
-2c = -4
divide by -2
c =2
I see your last line is : c(x) = 0.9(x^2-10)^2 + 101.1
Let y = x^2, then c(y) = 0.9(y-10)^2 + 101.1
Apparently, c(y) is a parabola, min is 101.1 when y = 10, max is infinity
So let x^2 = 10 -> x = sqrt(10) or -sqrt(10), min is 101.1, max is infinity
part A)



part B)
well, we know y = -2x+8.... so.. what's the runner's velocity after 5hours? well, x = 5, thus y = -2(5) +8 ---> y = -2
to graph it, well, is a LINEar equation, meaning the graph is a LINE, and to graph a line, all you need is two points, and by now, you have more than two.. so graph it away.

Multiplication is repeated addition.
