Answer:

  • Iced tea is $4.50 per gallon
  • Lemonade is $4.75 per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Price</u>:

  • Iced tea = x, lemonade = y

<u>Equations</u>:

  • 2x + 3y = 23.25
  • 5x + 4y = 41.50

<u>Multiply the first equation by 5 and the second equation by 2 and subtract to eliminate x:</u>

  • 5(2x + 3y) - 2(5x + 4y) = 5(23.25) - 2(41.50)
  • 10x + 15y - 10x - 8y = 33.25
  • 7y = 33.25
  • y = 33.25/7
  • y = 4.75

<u>Use the first equation to find x:</u>

  • 2x + 3(4.75) = 23.25
  • 2x = 23.25 - 14.25
  • 2x = 9
  • x = 9/2
  • x = 4.50

Iced tea costs $4.50 per gallon

Lemonade costs $4.75 per gallon

x^2=6x+1 rewrite the equation by completing the square your equation should look like (x+a)^2=b or (x-c)^2=d
ryzh [129]

Answer:

(x - 3)² = 10

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Equality Properties

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Completing the Square

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

x² = 6x + 1

<u>Step 2: Rewrite</u>

  1. Subtract 6x on both sides:                    x² - 6x = 1
  2. Complete the Square:                           x² - 6x + 9 = 1 + 9
  3. Factor:                                                    (x - 3)² = 10

Answer:  " m∠SRW = 95 ° " .
________________________________________________

Since m∠TRV = 95° ; 

and:  ∠TRV and ∠SRW are vertical angles; 

and:  we are given:  " m∠TRV = 95° " ; 

and:  vertical angles are congruent; 

So, m∠TRV = m∠SRW = 95°  .

HELPPPP!!!
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

(x - 1)²/4² - (y - 2)²/2² = 1 ⇒ The bold labels are the choices

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve this problem

- The equation of the hyperbola is x² - 4y² - 2x + 16y - 31 = 0

- The standard form of the equation of hyperbola is

  (x - h)²/a² - (y - k)²/b² = 1 where a > b

- So lets collect x in a bracket and make it a completing square and

  also collect y in a bracket and make it a completing square

∵ x² - 4y² - 2x + 16y - 31 = 0

∴ (x² - 2x) + (-4y² + 16y) - 31 = 0

- Take from the second bracket -4 as a common factor

∴ (x² - 2x) + -4(y² - 4y) - 31 = 0

∴ (x² - 2x) - 4(y² - 4y) - 31 = 0

- Lets make (x² - 2x) completing square

∵ √x² = x

∴ The 1st term in the bracket is x

∵ 2x ÷ 2 = x

∴ The product of the 1st term and the 2nd term is x

∵ The 1st term is x

∴ the second term = x ÷ x = 1

∴ The bracket is (x - 1)²

∵  (x - 1)² = (x² - 2x + 1)

∴ To complete the square add 1 to the bracket and subtract 1 out

   the bracket to keep the equation as it

∴ (x² - 2x + 1) - 1

- We will do the same withe bracket of y

- Lets make 4(y² - 4y) completing square

∵ √y² = y

∴ The 1st term in the bracket is x

∵ 4y ÷ 2 = 2y

∴ The product of the 1st term and the 2nd term is 2y

∵ The 1st term is y

∴ the second term = 2y ÷ y = 2

∴ The bracket is 4(y - 2)²

∵ 4(y - 2)² = 4(y² - 4y + 4)

∴ To complete the square add 4 to the bracket and subtract 4 out

   the bracket to keep the equation as it

∴ 4[y² - 4y + 4) - 4]

- Lets put the equation after making the completing square

∴ (x - 1)² - 1 - 4[(y - 2)² - 4] - 31 = 0 ⇒ simplify

∴ (x - 1)² - 1 - 4(y - 2)² + 16 - 31 = 0 ⇒ add the numerical terms

∴ (x - 1)² - 4(y - 2)² - 16 = 0 ⇒ add 14 to both sides

∴ (x - 1)² - 4(y - 2)² = 16 ⇒ divide both sides by 16

∴ (x - 1)²/16 - (y - 2)²/4 = 1

∵ 16 = (4)² and 4 = (2)²

∴ The standard form of the equation of the hyperbola is

   (x - 1)²/4² - (y - 2)²/2² = 1

Determine the domain of the function (fog)(x) where f(x)=3x-1/x-4 and g(x)=x+1/x
Katarina [22]

Answer: (-∞,-1) ∪ (0,+∞)

Step-by-step explanation: The representation fog(x) is a representation of composite function, meaning one depends on the other.

In this case, fog(x) means:

fog(x) = f(g(x))

fog(x) = 3(x+\frac{1}{x} )-\frac{1}{x+\frac{1}{x} } -4

fog(x)=3x+\frac{3}{x} -\frac{1}{\frac{x^{2}+x}{x} } -4

fog(x)=3x+\frac{3}{x} -\frac{x}{x^{2}+x} -4

fog(x)=\frac{3x^{2}(x^{2}+x)+3(x^{2}+x)-x-4x(x^{2}+x)}{x(x^{2}+x)}

fog(x)=\frac{3x^{4}+3x^{3}+3x^{2}+3x-x-4x^{3}+4x^{2}}{x(x^{2}+x)}

fog(x)=\frac{3x^{4}-x^{3}-x^{2}+2x}{x(x^{2}+x)}

This is the function fog(x).

The domain of a function is all the values the independent variable can assume.

For fog(x), denominator can be zero, so:

x(x^{2}+x) \neq 0

If x = 0, the function doesn't exist.

x^{2}+x \neq0

x(x+1) \neq0

x+1\neq0

x\neq-1

<u>Therefore, the domain of this function is: </u><u>-∞ < -1 or x > 0</u>
