Problem 8

1 answer:

3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

1. x represent the copybook while y represent the pen that is bought.

2. 2x + 3y = 9000 means that in order to buy 2 copybooks and 3 pen you have to pay 9000 LL.

3. Solve for the price of x and y

2x + 3y = 9000 (1)
4x + 2y = 8000 (2)

Multiply (1) by -2:

-2(2x + 3y = 9000)
4x + 2y = 8000
——————————
-4x - 6y = -18000
4x + 2y = 8000
—————————
-4y = -10000
y = -10000/-4
y = 2500

Substitute y value into (2):

4x + 2(2500) = 8000
4x + 5000 = 8000
4x = 3000
x = 3000/4
x = 750

Therefore, 1 copy book = 750LL and 1 pen = 2500 LL

The numerical value of the volume of a sphere is equal to the numerical value of its surface area.

Lilit [14]

Answer:

The radius of this sphere is $3$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere of radius $r$ is:

$\displaystyle V = \frac{4}{3}\, \pi\, r^{3}$ .

The surface area of a sphere of radius $r$ is:

$A = \pi\, (2\, r)^{2}$ .

Equate the right-hand side of these two expressions and solve for $r$ :

$r = 3$ .

In other words, the radius of this sphere is $3$ .

What are the zeros of the parabola: f(x) = x2 - 7x + 10 (that is, what are the x-intercepts or the points where the graph crosse

evablogger [386]

Answer:

$x=2\ or\ x=5\Rightarrow(2,\ 0)\ \vee\ (5,\ 0)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=x^2-7x+10\\\\\text{The zeros of the parabola}\ f(x):\\\\f(x)=0\to x^2-7x+10=0\\\\\left\begin{array}{ccc}a+b=-7\\\\ab=10\end{array}\right\}\Rightarrow a=-2,\ b=-5\\\\x^2-2x-5x+10=0\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\x(x-2)-5(x-2)=0\\\\(x-2)(x-5)=0\iff x-2=0\ \vee\ x-5=0\\\\x-2=0\qquad\text{add 2 to both sides}\\x-2+2=0+2\\\boxed{x=2}\\\\x-5=0\qquad\text{add 5 to both sides}\\x-5+5=0+5\\\boxed{x=5}$
