Answer:

He used 6 bananas at .50 which cost $3.00

12 oranges at .75 which cost $9.00 and

3 papayas at $1.25 which cost $3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a system of equations using the information given.

b for banana, r for orange, p for papaya

b + r + p = 21. Also given r = 2b So substitute to simplify for calculating two unknowns:

b + 2b + p = 21 The number of items.

50b + 75(2b) +125p = 1575 The cost.

I multiplied everything by 100 to eliminate the decimals.

To solve by substituion, rewrite the first equation to get a value for p in terms of b

p = 21 - 3b

Substitute this value in the second equation and solve for b.

50b + 150b + 125(21–3b) = 1575

200b +2625 –375b = 1575 Subtract 2625 from both sides and combine the like terms:

–175b = 1575 –2625

–175b = –1050. Divide both sides by –175

b = 6

Substitute in the original equation to find the amount of each fruit:

b + r + p = 21

b = 6 bananas

r = 2b. 2(6) = 12 oranges. I used r so as not to mix up o with 0.

6 + 12 + p = 21

p = 21 –18

p = 3 papayas

Scientists modeled the intensity of the sun, I, as a function of the number of hours since 6:00 a.m., h, using the

MAVERICK [17]

The functions are illustrations of composite functions.

The soil temperature at 2:00pm is 67

The given parameters are:

$\mathbf{I(h) =\frac{12h - h^2}{36}}$ ---- the function for sun intensity

$\mathbf{T(I) =\sqrt{5000I}}$ -- the function for temperature

At 2:00pm, the value of h (number of hours) is:

$\mathbf{h = 2:00pm - 6:00am}$

$\mathbf{h = 8}$

Substitute 8 for h in $\mathbf{I(h) =\frac{12h - h^2}{36}}$ , to calculate the sun intensity

$\mathbf{I(8) =\frac{12 \times 8 - 8^2}{36}}$

$\mathbf{I(8) =\frac{32}{36}}$

$\mathbf{I(8) =\frac{8}{9}}$

Substitute 8/9 for I in $\mathbf{T(I) =\sqrt{5000I}}$ , to calculate the temperature of the soil

$\mathbf{T(8/9) =\sqrt{5000 \times 8/9}}$

$\mathbf{T(8/9) =\sqrt{4444.44}}$

$\mathbf{T(8/9) =66.67}$

Approximate

$\mathbf{T(8/9) =67}$

Hence, the soil temperature at 2:00pm is 67

Which proportion can be used to show that the slope of JL is equal to the slope of MP

Ilya [14]

Answer:

See below and attached

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the graph we have:

Coordinates of JL are J(-7, 4), L(-4, 0)

Coordinates of MP are M(-10, 8), P(-1, -4)

Slope formula is:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Slope of JL:

(0 - 4)/(-4-(-7)) = - 4 / 3

Slope of MP:

(-4 -8)/(-1- (-10)) = -12 / 9 = - 4/3
