Answer:

$2 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of apples be x

Then we have equation:

(9 - 1.5)x = 15
7.5x = 15
x = 15/7.5
x = 2

Cost of apple: $2 per pound

How many times does the graph of the function below interect or touch the x-axis? y=-2x^2+3x+5

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Two times at (-1,0) and (2.5,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

When the graph intersects or touches x-axis, y is equal to 0

so y = -2x^2 + 3x + 5

=> 0 = -2x^2 + 3x + 5

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is equal to x = [-b +/-√(b^2 - 4ac)]/2a

so a = -2

b = 3

c = 5

substitute in the formula

x = [-3 +/- √(3^2 - 4x-2x5)]/2(-2)

x = [-3 +/- √(9 + 40)]/(-4)

x = [-3 +/- 7]/(-4)

x1 = (-3 + 7)/(-4) = 4/-4 = -1

x2 = (-3 - 7)/(-4) = -10/-4 = 5/2 = 2.5

so the graph has two x-intercepts (-1,0) and (2.5,0), therefore it intersects x-axis two times

Meredith lives 24 blocks from her friends house if she travels on block every minute how many minutes will it take her to reach

Anestetic [448]

Meredinth takes 24 minutes to reach her friend house

Solution:

Given that, Meredith lives 24 blocks from her friends house

She travels one block every minute

To find: time taken by Meredith to reach friend house

From given,

Number of blocks between Meredith house and her friedn house = 24

She travels one block every minute

Thus she takes 1 minute for 1 block

One block = 1 minute

So, for 24 blocks, we have to multiply by 24

$24\ block = 1 \times 24\ minute\\\\24\ block = 24\ minute$

Thus Meredinth takes 24 minutes to reach her friend house
