Answer: To find the price per pound we must divide 7.77 by 3, 7.77/3=2.59. So the price per pound for the gummy bears is 2.59$.

Heidi spent a total of $60 on clothing items she bought 2 pairs of shorts for 10 dollars each she bought some t-shirts for 4 eac

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

2 pair shorts and for t-shirts and sandals possible cases are

1 t-shirt and 3 sandals or

4 t-shirts and 2 sandals or

7 t-shirts and 1 sandals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total money spent by Heidi on the clothing items is $60.

Now , she bought 2 pairs of short for $10 each , so, the money spent on shorts will be $20.

Thus money for other stuffs should be $40.

Let she bought x t-shirts for $4 each , thus money spent on t-shirts will be 4x dollars.

Also let she bought y sandals for $12 each , so money spent on sandals will be 12y dollars .

Thus , 4x + 12y = 40. (since 40 dollars were remaining for other clothing

items)

So, x + 3y = 10.

So, the possible cases are 1 t-shirt and 3 sandals or

4 t-shirts and 2 sandals or

7 t-shirts and 1 sandals.

What is the unit rate of y = 2/3x ? ( must satisfy the definition of unit rate )

Nat2105 [25]

The unit rate is 2/3 because in the line y=2/3x, 2/3 is the slope (y=mx+b). The slope of the line is pretty much the definition of a unit rate because the unit rate is a constant addition or subtraction over and over. In addition, it is a straight line(y=mx+b) and the values are going up at a constant rate of 2/3.

f(x) = x4 - 50x2 + 3 (a) Find the intervals on which f is increasing. (Enter the interval that contains smaller numbers first.)

shtirl [24]

Answer:

(-5, 0) ∪ (5, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

I find a graph convenient for this purpose. (See below)

When you want to find where a function is increasing or decreasing, you want to look at the sign of the derivative. Here, the derivative is ...

f'(x) = 4x^3 -100x = 4x(x^2 -25) = 4x(x +5)(x -5)

This has zeros at x=-5, x=0, and x=5. The sign of the derivative will be positive when 0 or 2 factors have negative signs. The signs change at the zeros. So, the intervals of f' having a positive sign are (-5, 0) and (5, ∞).
