Answer:

The price of the drinks is $ 1.5 and the price of the bag of popcorn is $ 6.75

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve by means of a 2x2 equation system, assuming that the question is the price of each product

We have to:

"x" price of drinks

"and" price of the bag of popcorn

9 * x + 4 * y = 40.5

3 * x + 5 * y = 38.25 => x = (38.25 - 5 * y) / 3

 replacing:

9 * (38.25 - 5 * y) / 3 + 4 * y = 40.5

114.75 - 15 * y + 4 * y = 40.5

-11 * y = 40.5 - 114.75

y = -74.25 / -11

y = 6.75

now for x:

 x = (38.25 - 5 * 6.75) / 3

x = 1.5

So the price of the drinks is $ 1.5 and the price of the bag of popcorn is $ 6.75

what is the polynomial function of lowest degree with leading coefficient of 1 and roots 2 and 1 + square root2
Marta_Voda [28]
If the roots to such a polynomial are 2 and 1+\sqrt2, then we can write it as

(x-2)(x-(1+\sqrt2))

courtesy of the fundamental theorem of algebra. Now expanding yields

(x-2)(x-1-\sqrt2)=x^2-2x-(1+\sqrt2)x+2(1+\sqrt2)=x^2-(3+\sqrt2)x+2+2\sqrt2

which would be the correct answer, but clearly this option is not listed. Which is silly, because none of the offered solutions are *the* polynomial of lowest degree and leading coefficient 1.

So this makes me think you're expected to increase the multiplicity of one of the given roots, or you're expected to pull another root out of thin air. Judging by the choices, I think it's the latter, and that you're somehow supposed to know to use 1-\sqrt2 as a root. In this case, that would make our polynomial

(x-2)(x-(1+\sqrt2))(x-(1-\sqrt2))=x^3-4x^2+3x+2

so that the answer is (probably) the third choice.

Whoever originally wrote this question should reevaluate their word choice...

The following menu items were ordered at a pizza parlor on Friday. 3 salads, 8 pizzas, 4 sides of breadsticks, and 5 pepperoni c
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Using proportions, the pizza parlor should expect 20 breadsticks and 25 calzone orders if there were 100 total orders.

Step-by-step explanation:

Orders:

Salads                           3

Pizzas                           8

Sides of breadsticks   4

Pepperoni calzones    5

Total orders:              20


Proportion of sides breadsticks=4/20=0.2

Proportion of pepperoni calzones=5/20=0.25


For 100 total orders:

Sides of breadsticks=0.2(100)=20

Pepperoni calzones=0.25(100)=25

Is it possible to find another line that’s parallel to 3x+9y=1 and passes through (0, 1/9)
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

no it is not

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+9y=1 simplified is

9y=-3x+1

y=-1/3x+1/9

this is the exact same equation as 3x+9y=1, so you cannot find another line thats parallel to it and passes through that same point (it'll always be that point)
