Answer:

C. $16.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost per pound of salmon be represented by x

The cost per pound of swordfish be represented by y

Melissa buys 2 1/2 pounds of salmon and 1 1/4 pounds of swordfish. She pays a total of $31.25

2.5 × x + 1.25× y = $31.25

2.5x + 1.25y = 31.25

The swordfish costs $0.20 per pound less than the salmon.

y = x - 0.20

Hence, we substitute

2.5x + 1.25y = 31.25

2.5y + 1.25(x - 0.20) = 31.25

2.5y + 1.25x - 0.25 = 31.25

2.5x + 1.25x = 31.25 + 0.25

3.75x = 31.5

x = 31.5/3.75

x = $8.4

The cost per pound of salmon be represented by x = $8.4

y = x - 0.20

y = 8.4 - 0.20

y = $8.2

The cost per pound of swordfish be represented by y = $8.2

The cost of a pound of salmon and sword fish

= $8.4 + $8.2

=$16.60

Use Synthetic Division to divide 6x^3-10x^2+20 by x+1<br><br> Quotient:_____<br><br> Remainder:_____
exis [7]

Answer:

the quotient is 6x^2 - 16x + 16, and the remainder is just 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial 6x^3-10x^2+20 has coefficients {6, -10, 0, 20}.  Division by the binomial x + 1 requires that we use -1 as the divisor.  The synthetic division setup becomes:

-1   /    6    -10    0    20

                 -6    16   -16

     -----------------------------

          6     -16   16       4

Taking the coefficients {6, -16, 16}, we write the quotient as

6x^2 - 16x + 16, and the remainder as just 4.

Thanks for the help! Been stuck on this one for a little while.
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

B. \sqrt{14}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 3.74 is rounded to the hundredths place, it is not the ideal exact solution for m^2 = 14.

To solve for m you would have to square root m and 14, which gives you \sqrt{14}. This is the best answer for the problem.
