Answer:

16 cups of cashews

12 cups of almonds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say x is the cups of cashews and y is the cups of almonds.

We can write two equations:

x / y = (1/3) / (1/4) = 4/3

x + y = 28

Solve the system of equations using substitution.

x = 4/3 y

4/3 y + y = 28

7/3 y = 28

y = 12

x = 16

What is the axis of symmetry for the function f(x)=7−4x+x2?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of the parabola is given by  

Comparing this equation with vertex form of a parabola , where (h,k) is the vertex

h = 2

k = 3

Hence, vertex is (2,3)

Now, axis of symmetry of a parabola passes through the vertex and divide the parabola in two equal halves.

Hence, axis of symmetry of the parabola is given by

x = h

x = 2

Third option is correct.
