Answer:

the price of the drink to the nearest cent is $2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

1 bag of popcorn = b

1 drink = d

Amelia spends this:

6b + 3d = 18.00

6b = 18 - 3d

b = 18/6 -3d/6

b = 3 - 1/2*d

Nora spends this:

5b + 9d = 31.25

9d = 31.25 - 5b

d = 31.25/9 -5/9*b

now substitute d = 31.25/9 -5/9*b in b = 3 - 1/2*d

d = 31.25/9 -5/9*(3 - 1/2*d)

d = 31.25/9 -15/9 + 5/18d

18/18d - 5/18d = 31.25/9 -15/9

13/18d = 31.25/9 -15/9

d = 18/13 * ( 31.25/9 -15/9 )

d = 2,5

The price of a drink is $2.50

EXTRA

now substitute d = 2,5 in b = 3 - 1/2*d

b = 3 - 1/2*(2.5)

b = 3 - 1.25

b = 1.75

The price of a bag of popcorn is $1.75

A ball is thrown into the air with an upward velocity of 32 ft/s. Its height (h) in feet after t seconds is given by the functio
Natasha2012 [34]
For this case we have the following equation:
 h = -16t ^ 2 + 32t + 6
 Deriving we have:
 h '= -32t + 32
 We equal zero and clear t:
 -32t + 32 = 0
 32t = 32
 t = 32/32
 t = 1 s
 Then, the maximum height is given by:
 h (1) = -16 * (1) ^ 2 + 32 * (1) + 6
 h (1) = 22 feet
 Answer:
 
It takes the ball to reach its maximum height about:
 
t = 1 s
 
The ball's maximum height is:
 
h (1) = 22 feet

Shown here are four frequency distributions. Each is incorrectly constructed. State the reason why.
Tanya [424]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

a. The the class width for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th row equal 5 in the frequency distribution. Whereas, in the 4th row, the class width is 4 (49 - 45). This makes the construction incorrect.

b. Here, the upper limit of each consecutive class was used as the lower limit if the next class. For example, 9 is a member of the first class, which is the upper limit if the class in the first row, it ought not to be included as a member of the next class in the second row.

c. In the 3rd row, the lower limit of the class should be 133, NOT 138.

d. Different class width were used.

Row 1 class width = 13 - 9 = 4

Row 2 class width = 19 - 14 = 5

Row 3 class width = 25 - 20 = 5

Row 4 class width = 28 - 26 = 2

Row 5 class width = 32 - 29 = 3
