2 answers:

Ok, so the first thing you should do is find out how much 1 pound of peaches cost. So you divide 4.20 by 2 pounds and you get 2.10 for 1 pound of peaches. Then you multiply 2.10 by 5 to get 10.50. So 5 pounds of peaches will cost 10.50. Also make sure you include a unit for price. Do 5 pounds of peaches cost $10.50 or 10.50 cats? Including a unit in your answer will keep you from losing valuable points on an exam or assignment. :)

Hey!

You can make a proportion:

$\frac{2}{\$ 4.20} = \frac{5}{x}$

Cross multiply

$\$ 4.20 \times 5 = \$ 21$

Divide by 2

$\$ 21 \div 2 = \$ 10.5$

<em>5 pounds would cost $10.50</em>

Good luck and hope this helps! :)

What is the range of F(x)=72x-x^2

Marianna [84]

Answer:

Range of F(x) = (-∞ ,72).

Step-by-step explanation:

Range of the function F(x) means the set of values which are taken by the function along its domain.

F(x) = 72 - $x^{2}$

Since coefficient of $x^{2}$ is negative on the right side ,

Maximum value of F(x) will come at x = 0.

Which is, F(0) = 72.

Now, as x increases , F(x) decreases , when x will reach infinity ,

F(x) will be reaching negative of infinity .

Thus, F(x) is ranging from -∞ to 72 .

Range of F(x) = (-∞ ,72).

Simplify 4√16 + 8√16

Mumz [18]

$4\sqrt{16} + 8\sqrt{16}$ :

Since $\sqrt{1} =1$ , we get:

$4\cdot \:1\cdot \:6+8\cdot \:1\cdot \:6=24+48=72$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$7\sqrt{4} *3\sqrt{8}$

We have $\sqrt{4}=2$

simplify $\sqrt{8} = \sqrt{2^3} = \sqrt{2^2*2}$

then the radical rule is used: $\quad \sqrt[n]{ab}=\sqrt[n]{a}\sqrt[n]{b}$

⇒ $\sqrt{2^2*2} = \sqrt{2^2} \sqrt{2}= \sqrt{4}\sqrt{2} =2\sqrt{2}$

Now we have $\sqrt{4}=2$ and $\sqrt{8}=2 \sqrt{2}$

$7\sqrt{4} *3\sqrt{8} = 7*2*3*2\sqrt{2} = 84 \sqrt{2}$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$2\sqrt{4}+5 \sqrt{9}$

$2\sqrt{4} =2*2= 4$ and $5\sqrt{9} =5*3= 15$

$2\sqrt{4}+5 \sqrt{9} = 4+15 = 19$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$4\sqrt{5} -2\sqrt{5} = 2\sqrt{5}$

since $2\sqrt{5}$ is the half of $4\sqrt{5}$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$-4\sqrt{2}\:+\:5\sqrt{2} =1 \sqrt{2} = \sqrt{2}\\$ <em>(-4+5=1)</em>

Given that p is an integer, q = -12 and the quotient of p/q is -3, find p

sergejj [24]

I think it’s p=36 because you have to do the opposite on both sides..

So..
q=-12
P/-12=-3
+12 *12
P=36

PLEASE HURRY FIRST ANSWER WILL BE BRAINLIEST can someone translate these word problems to an actual equation?

Reika [66]

Answer:

1). 9 red 6 fancy 2). 50 shirts 20 pants 3). 62 purple 31 red 4). 19 dimes 9 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Most are systems of equations. So, they will have more than one equation.

1). x (Red wrapping paper) y (fancy print paper)

x + y = 15

2x + 4y = 42

Solved: x = 9 y = 6

2). x (shirts) y (pants)

x + y = 70

12x + 30y = 1200

Solved: x = 50 y = 20

3). x (purple) y (red)

I ended up dividing 93 by 3 and then multiplying it by 2 for purple and keeping the other third for red. Not quite sure how to fit this into an equation, its just simple math.

Solved: x = 62 y = 31

4). x (dimes) y (quarters)

.10x + .25y = 4.15

x = y - 10

Solved: x = 19 y = 9
