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

For what values ​​does c have no solutions?
defon

Solve for c :

x⁴ + cx² + 100 = 0

cx² = -(x⁴ + 100)

c = - (x⁴ + 100)/x²

If x = 0, the right side is undefined and c would have no solution.

Find the equation of the line containing (3,-2) and (5,5).
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

y = 3.5x - 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope using rise over run (y2 - y1 / x2 - x1) with the 2 points:

(-2 - 5) / (3 - 5)

-7/-2

= 3.5

Then, plug the slope and a point into y = mx + b to solve for b:

y = mx + b

5 = 3.5(5) + b

5 = 17.5 + b

-12.5 = b

Plug the slope and the y intercept into the equation y = mx + b

y = 3.5x - 12.5 will be the equation
