If

<em>f(x)</em> = <em>ax</em> ³ + <em>bx</em> ² - 5<em>x</em> + 9

then

<em>f '(x)</em> = 3<em>ax </em>² + 2<em>bx</em> - 5

Given that <em>f</em> (-1) = 12 and <em>f</em> '(-1) = 3, we get the system of equations

-<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> + 5 + 9 = 12

3<em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em> - 5 = 3

or

-<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = -2

3<em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em> = 8

Multiply through the first equation by 2 and add it to the second one to eliminate <em>b</em> and solve for <em>a</em> :

2(-<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>) + (3<em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em>) = 2(-2) + 8

-2<em>a</em> + 2<em>b</em> + 3<em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em> = -4 + 8

<em>a</em> = 4

Substitute this into the first equation above to solve for <em>b</em> :

-4 + <em>b</em> = -2

<em>b</em> = 2

Mary bought these art supplies: 4 paint brushes @ $1.29 each, 6 dowel rods @ $1.49 each, a jar of paste @ $1.25, and 2 canvases
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Option (1) is correct

The amount she receives back from $40 is  $12.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mary bought the art supplies.

4 paint brushes @ $1.29 each, 6 dowel rods @ $1.49 each, a jar of paste @ $1.25, and 2 canvases @ $6.00 each.

We have to find the change she get from $40.

We first find the total cost of the art supplies.

Since, she brought 4 paint brushes @ $1.29 each,

Thus, cost of 4 paint brush is  1.29 × 4 = $5.16

Also, 6 dowel rods @ $1.49 each,

Thus, cost of 6 dowel rods is  1.49 × 6 = $8.94

Thus, cost of 1 jar of paste  is $1.25

and 2 canvases @ $6.00 each

Thus, cost of 2 canvases  is $12.00

Thus, total cost of art supplies = 5.16 + 8.94 + 1.25 + 12 =$27.35

Thus, amount she receives back from $40 is $40 - $12.35 = $12.65
