The missing equations are;

a + 2b + 3c = 12

3a + 2b + 5c = 22

2a + 4b + 4c = 18

Answer:

a = 2

b = 0.5

c = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that;

a represent the price per pound of apples

b represent the price per pound of bananas

c represent the price per pound of oranges

The equations system is;

a + 2b + 3c = 12 - - - (eq 1)

3a + 2b + 5c = 22 - - - (eq 2)

2a + 4b + 4c = 18 - - - (eq 3)

Divide through equation 3 by 2 to get

a + 2b + 2c = 9 - - - (eq 4)

Subtract eq 4 from eq 1 to get;

3c - 2c = 12 - 9

c = 3

Put 3 for c in eq(2) and eq 4;

3a + 2b + 5c = 22

3a + 2b + 5(3) = 22

3a + 2b + 15 = 22

3a + 2b = 7 - - - (5)

a + 2b + 2(3) = 9

a + 2b + 6 = 9

a + 2b = 3 - - - (eq 6)

Subtract eq 6 from eq 5 to get;

2a = 7 - 3

2a = 4

a = 2

Put 2 for a in eq 6;

2 + 2b = 3

2b = 3 - 2

2b = 1

b = 1/2

b = 0.5

Find the missing side length of the right triangle.
Tomtit [17]
This is just some pythagorean theorem, or a^2 + b^2 = c^2. We have a and b, which is 9 and 12, and we need to find c. To find c, we need to first square those, giving u 81 and 144. Now, we need to add them, giving us 225, meaning c^2 = 225. However, we need to find c on its own, so we have to find the square root of 225. That would be 15.

3. Find the slope of the line<br> f(x)1/2x+8. Describe how the line slopes.
wariber [46]

Answer:

slope: \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=mx+b\\m=slope\\\\f(x)=\frac{1}{2} x+8\\\frac{(rise)}{(run)}=\frac{1}{2}

the linear line has a positive slope that goes up by 1 unit and right by 2 units

1 &amp; 2) what are the surface areas? please explain.
mote1985 [20]
To find the surface area of a cylinder, use the formula SA = 2(pi)(radius^2) + 2(pi)(radius)(height).

So now, plug in what you know.

SA = 2(3.14)(5^2) + 2(3.14)(5)(9)
SA = (6.28)(25) + (6.28)(45)
SA = 157 + 282.6
SA = 439.6 square cm

439.6 square cm is your surface area

HELP ASAP 100 POINTS!!!

<h3>Answer:  choice 4. f(x) and g(x) have a common x-intercept</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

For me, it helps to graph everything on the same xy coordinate system. Start with the given graph and plot the points shown in the table. You'll get what you see in the diagram below.

The blue point C in that diagram is on the red parabola. This point is the x intercept as this is where both graphs cross the x axis. Therefore, they have a common x intercept.

------------

Side notes:

  • Choice 1 is not true due to choice 4 being true. We have f(x) = g(x) when x = 2, which is why f(x) > g(x) is not true for all x.
  • Choice 2 is not true. Point B is not on the parabola.
  • Choice 3 is not true. There is only one known intersection point between f(x) and g(x), and that is at the x intercept mentioned above. Of course there may be more intersections, but we don't have enough info to determine this.
