Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the amount of lollipops Lydia buys is represented by x and the number of candy bars is represented by y. For each x, Lydia spends 0.50, and for each y, Lydia spends 1.50. This means that the total amount she spends can be represented by the equation 0.50*x+1.50*y. Our equation is then 0.50*x+1.50*y=15

Using our equation, we can plug 6 in for x, resulting in 0.50*6+1.50*y=15, so 0.50x+1.50y=15\\0.5(6)+1.50y=15\\3+1.50y=15\\1.50y=12\\y=8

In this set of equations, we plugged 6 in, multiplied it out, then subtracted 3 from both sides, and finally divided both sides by 1.50 to get 8 as our answer.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

eq. of directrix is y=4 or y-4=0

perpendicular distance of (x,y) from directrix =distance of (x,y) from focus (-3,2)

| \frac{y-4}{1}|=\sqrt{(x+3)^2+(y-2)^2} \\squaring~both~sides\\y^2-8y+16=(x+3)^2+(y-2)2\\(x+3)^2=y^2-8y+16-(y-2)^2\\(x+3)^2=y^2-8y+16-(y^2-4y+4)\\(x+3)^2=y^2-8y+16-y^2+4y-4\\(x+3)^2=-4y+12\\(x+3)^2=-4(y-3)

Use the dot product to determine whether v and w are orthogonal.
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

B. The vectors v and w are orthogonal because their dot product is <u> 0 </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

v=  - i - j  

w= - i + j

Therefore;

vw = ( - i - j )  ( - i + j )

Taking each  set of integer of the vector into consideration:

vw = ( -1 × - 1) ( -1 × 1)

vw = 1 - 1

vw = 0

Hence, we can conclude that :

The vectors v and w are orthogonal because their dot product is <u> 0   </u>

A cheetah runs 296 feet in 4 seconds. How far could a cheetah run in 10<br> seconds at this rate?
melomori [17]

Answer:

740 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the cheetah is 74 feet per second:

speed = distance ÷ time

= 296 ÷ 4 = 74 feet per second

In 10 seconds:

distance = speed × time

= 74 × 10

= 740 feet
