Answer:

The correct option 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$2.75x+3.25y=215$ .... (1)

Let x is the number of pretzels sold and y is the number of popcorn bags sold.

Total sales is defined as

$Sales=C_1x+C_2y$ ... (2)

From (1) and (2) it is clear that,

The cost of each pretzel is $2.75 or 275 cents. The cost of each popcorn bag is $3.25 or 325 cents ($1 = 100 cents). Total sales is $215.

$325-275=50$

Pretzels cost is 50 cents less than popcorn bags. The variable x represents the number of pretzels sold and y represents the number of popcorn bags sold. The total sales was $215.

Therefore the correct option 4.

Prove the following

$\bf [cot(\theta )+csc(\theta )]^2=\cfrac{1+cos(\theta )}{1-cos(\theta )} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{doing the left-hand side}}{[cot(\theta )+csc(\theta )]^2}\implies cot^2(\theta )+2cot(\theta )csc(\theta )+csc^2(\theta ) \\\\\\ \cfrac{cos^2(\theta )}{sin^2(\theta )}+2\cdot \cfrac{cos(\theta )}{sin(\theta )}\cdot \cfrac{1}{sin(\theta )}+\cfrac{1}{sin^2(\theta )}\implies \cfrac{cos^2(\theta )}{sin^2(\theta )}+\cfrac{2cos(\theta )}{sin^2(\theta )}+\cfrac{1}{sin^2(\theta )}$

$\bf \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{perfect square trinomial}}{cos^2(\theta )+2cos(\theta )+1}}{sin^2(\theta )}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{[cos(\theta )+1]^2}{sin^2(\theta )}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{doing the right-hand-side}}{\cfrac{1+cos(\theta )}{1-cos(\theta )}}\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying by the denominator's conjugate}}{\cfrac{1+cos(\theta )}{1-cos(\theta )}\cdot \cfrac{1+cos(\theta )}{1+cos(\theta )}}$

$\bf \cfrac{[1+cos(\theta )]^2}{\underset{\textit{difference of squares}}{[1-cos(\theta )][1+cos(\theta )]}}\implies \cfrac{[cos(\theta )+1]^2}{1^2-cos^2(\theta )} \\\\\\ \cfrac{[cos(\theta )+1]^2}{1-cos^2(\theta )}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{[cos(\theta )+1]^2}{sin^2(\theta )}}$

recall that sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1, thus sin²(θ) = 1 - cos²(θ).

Question 3 of 6 (1 point)

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Null hypothesis: H₀: ∪ = ≤ 393 pounds

Alternative hpothesis Hₐ: ∪ > 393 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis in this case is

Null hypothesis: H₀: ∪ = ≤ 393 pounds

Agriculture Scientists wish to test against this claim believing that the new fertilizer may increase the yield, thus the alternative hypothesis will be

Alternative hpothesis Hₐ: ∪ > 393 pounds.
