Marcus has been running a beverage cart on weekends at the beach, selling water and soda. Last Saturday, he sold 40 bottles of w

ater and 25 sodas, bringing in $110. Sunday, he sold 50 bottles of water and 45 sodas, making $165. What are the prices for each beverage option?

Answer:

$2 for soda and $1.5 for a bottle of water

Step-by-step explanation:

You start by turning both situations into an equation

Let x represent bottles of water and y represent sodas

Saturday:

40x+25y=110

Sunday:

50x+45y=165

You then want to start by cancelling out the x in this equation, to do that you want 40x to become -50x so you:

50÷40=1.25

You then times the whole equation by -1.25

40x+25y=110

×-1.25

-50x+-31.25y= -137.5

You then add this equation by Sunday's equation

50x+45y=165

-50x+-31.25y=-137.5

          13.75y=27.5

You now want to make the co-efficient of y a whole number (for example 15) so you divide 15/13.75=1.09 recurring

13.75y=27.5

×1.09 recurring

    15y=30

15y/15=30/15

     y=2

Now that we know y = 2

We can use either Saturday or Sunday's equation to figure out the value of x

Let's use Sunday's:

50x+45×2=165

50x+90=165

50x+90-90=165-90

50x/50=75/50

x=1.5

Let's check our answer with Saturday's equation

40×1.5+25×2=110

This equation is correct

Therefore the prices for each beverage option is $1.5 for a bottle of water and $2 for a soda

All of the functions shown below are either exponential growth or decay functions.
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If an exponential function is in the form of y = a(b)ˣ,

a = Initial quantity

b = Growth factor

x = Duration

Condition for exponential growth → b > 1

Condition for exponential decay → 0 < b < 1

Now we ca apply this condition in the given functions,

1). y=3.2(1+0.45)^{2x}

   Here, (1 + 0.45) = 1.45 > 1

   Therefore, It's an exponential growth.

2). y=(0.85)^{3x}

    Here, (0.85) is between 0 and 1,

    Therefore, it's an exponential decay.

3). y = (1 - 0.03)ˣ + 4

    Here, (1 - 0.03) = 0.97

    And 0 < 0.97 < 1

    Therefore, It's an exponential decay.

4). y = 0.5(1.2)ˣ + 2

    Here, 1.2 > 1

    Therefore, it's an exponential growth.

Which of the following is the maximum value of the equation y = −x2 − x + 6?
Ratling [72]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = y= -x²-x+6

When y is max, f'(x) = 0

f'(x) = -2x-1

Equating to 0,

-2x-1= 0

x= -1/2

Put the value of x in f(x)

y = -(-1/2)² -(-1/2) +6

= -1/4+1/2+6

= 6+1/2

y= 13/2
