4x+7y=4.88 -> mult by -3 -> -12x-21y=-14.64
12x+8y=7.88
-12x-21y=-14.64
Add the two above equations together, the y will be left:
-13y=-6.76
y=0.52 —> cost of each apple (plug back into one of original equations, I chose 4x+7y=4.88:
4x+7(0.52)=4.88
Solve for x.
x=0.31 —> cost of each orange

The coordinates of the vertices of a rectangle are (−3, 4) , (7, 2) , (6, −3) , and (−4, −1) . What is the perimeter of the rect
ki77a [65]

Answrer

Find out the what is the perimeter of the rectangle .

To prove

Now as shown in the figure.

Name the coordinates as.

A(−3, 4) ,B (7, 2) , C(6, −3) , and D(−4, −1) .

In rectangle opposite sides are equal.

Thus

AB = DC

AD = BC

Formula

Disatnce\ formula = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} +(y_{2} - y_{1})^{2}}

Now the points  A(−3, 4) and  B(7, 2)

AB = \sqrt{(7- (-3))^{2} +(2- 4)^{2}}

AB = \sqrt{(10)^{2} +(-2)^{2}}

AB = \sqrt{100+4}

AB = \sqrt{104}

AB = 2\sqrt{26}\units

Thus

CD= 2\sqrt{26}\units

Now the points

A (−3, 4) , D (−4, −1)

AD = \sqrt{(-4 - (-3))^{2} +(-1- 4)^{2}}

AD = \sqrt{(-1)^{2} +(-5)^{2}}

AD = \sqrt{1 + 25}

AD = \sqrt{26}\units

Thus

BC = \sqrt{26}\units  

Formula

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (Length + Breadth)

Here

Length = 2\sqrt{26}\ units

Breadth = \sqrt{26}\ units  

Perimeter\ of\ rectangle = 2(2\sqrt{26} +\sqrt{26})

Perimeter\ of\ rectangle = 2(3\sqrt{26})

Perimeter\ of\ rectangle = 6\sqrt{26}

\sqrt{26} = 5.1 (Approx)

Perimeter\ of\ rectangle = 6\times 5.1

Perimeter of a rectangle = 30.6 units.

Therefore the perimeter of a rectangle is 30.6 units.

Kevin is observing the population of the fish he put into a pond. He built a pond and populated it with 500 fish. The population
laila [671]

Here we will use exponential form, which is

y = y_{0} e^{kt}

Initial value, y0 = 500

Double of 500 = 1000

1000 = 500e^{k*1}

2 = e^k

k= ln (2)

Required equation is

y=500e^{x ln2} \\ y= 500 (2)^x
