Answer: The cost of each pound of jellybean is $2.5

The cost for each pound of trail mix is $1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost for each pound of jellybeans be x.

Let the cost of each pound of trail mix be y.

Based on the information given, we can form an equation which will be:

For 2 pounds of jellybeans and 12 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $23. This will be:

2x + 12y = 23 ...... i

For 5 pounds of jellybeans and 3 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $17. This will be:

5x + 3y = 17...... ii

2x + 12y = 23 ...... i

5x + 3y = 17...... ii

Multiply equation i by 5

Multiply equation ii by 2

10x + 60y = 115 ...... iii

10x + 6y = 34 ..... iv

Subtract iv from iii

54y = 81

y = 81/54

y = 1.5

The cost for each pound of trail mix is $1.5

From equation i

2x + 12y = 23

2x + 12(1.5) = 23

2x + 18 = 23

2x = 23 - 18

2x = 5

x = 5/2 = 2.5

The cost of each pound of jellybean is $2.5

Find the exact angular velocity in radians per hour wind W= 4.1 rpm
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

1545.66 rad/h

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the angular velocity in rad/hour when wind is moving with a speed of 4.1 rpm.

We know that,

1 revolution = 2π rad

1 hour = 60 minute

So,

4.1\ rmm = 4.1\times \dfrac{2\pi }{(\dfrac{1}{60})}\ rad/h\\\\=1545.66\ rad/h

So, the required angular velocity is 1545.66 rad/h.

The growth of a strain of bacteria can be modeled by the function graphed, where the x-values are the time in seconds and the y-
Andrew [12]

There are (A) 2.7 bacterias initially.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>
  • A function is an expression that establishes the relationship between the dependent and independent variables.
  • A function from a set X to a set Y allocates exactly one element of Y to each element of X.
  • The set X is known as the function's domain, while the set Y is known as the function's codomain.
  • Originally, functions were the idealization of how a variable quantity depends on another quantity.

To find the number of bacteria:

  • The graph shows that the function follows an exponential curve, and the starting point is at ( 0,2.7 ).
  • The starting number of bacteria is then 2.7.

Therefore, there are (A) 2.7 bacterias initially.
