<h2>$2.98</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

5 bags of chips and 4 jars of dipping sauce cost $21.82. Also, 4 bags of chips and 3 jars of dipping sauce cost $16.86.

This problem can be modeled using linear equations in two variables.

Let $c$ be the cost of a bag of chip and $s$ be the cost of a jar of dipping sauce.

The information yields the equations

$5c+4s=21.82,4c+3s=16.86\\\textrm{Multiply first equation by 4 and second equation by 5}\\20c+16s=87.28,20c+15s=84.3\\\textrm{Subtracting second equation from the first one}\\s=\$2.98$

∴ A jar of dipping sauce costs $\$2.98$ .

Find the angle between the given vectors. Round your answer, in degrees, to two decimal places. u=⟨2,−6⟩u=⟨2,−6⟩, v=⟨4,−7⟩

NISA [10]

Answer:

$\theta = 108.29$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$u =$

$v =$

Required:

Calculate the angle between u and v

The angle $\theta$ is calculated as thus:

$cos\theta = \frac{u.v}{|u|.|v|}$

For a vector

$A =$

$A = a * b$

$cos\theta = \frac{u.v}{|u|.|v|}$ becomes

$cos\theta = \frac{.}{|u|.|v|}$

$cos\theta = \frac{2*6+4*-7}{|u|.|v|}$

$cos\theta = \frac{12-28}{|u|.|v|}$

$cos\theta = \frac{-16}{|u|.|v|}$

For a vector

$A =$

$|A| = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$

So;

$|u| = \sqrt{2^2 + 6^2}$

$|u| = \sqrt{4 + 36}$

$|u| = \sqrt{40}$

$|v| = \sqrt{4^2+(-7)^2}$

$|v| = \sqrt{16+49}$

$|v| = \sqrt{65}$

So:

$cos\theta = \frac{-16}{|u|.|v|}$

$cos\theta = \frac{-16}{\sqrt{40}*\sqrt{65}}$

$cos\theta = \frac{-16}{\sqrt{2600}}$

$cos\theta = \frac{-16}{\sqrt{100*26}}$

$cos\theta = \frac{-16}{10\sqrt{26}}$

$cos\theta = \frac{-8}{5\sqrt{26}}$

Take arccos of both sides

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{-8}{5\sqrt{26}})$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{-8}{5 * 5.0990})$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{-8}{25.495})$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(-0.31378701706)$

$\theta = 108.288386087$

<em></em> $\theta = 108.29$ <em> (approximated)</em>

When labeling a pre-image and it's image, we use a small tick mark. It's called a(n):

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Prime

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a point on a pre-image, we can have it labelled as A(x,y)

Now, we can write this as the image

To write this as the image, we simply have to add a mark on the A

This mark is at the upper right

We have it as A’ (x,y)

The part added is called a prime

The fee for a service call from a plumber can be modeled with the function C(h)= 75 + 20h, where C is the total cost of the serv

Lynna [10]

Answer:

20 ; $135 ; service charge for 3 hours spent is $135

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Service fee equation model :

C(h)= 75 + 20h

C = total cost of the service call

h = number of hours the plumber spends working on the problem

The charge per hour is the gradient or slope of the linear equation. From the equation, the slope is of the equation is related to bx from. The general form of a linear equation where b = gradient or slope(charge per hour) and x = number of hours

bx = 20h

b = 20

Charge per hour = 20

C(3) = 75 + 20(3)

75 + 60 = 135

This means that total service call charge for a plumber who spends three hours fixing a problem is $135
