Answer:

Part (a) The required equation is $y=40-6x$ .

Part (b) If y=10, the cost of 1 bottle of cooking oil is $5.

Part (c) If y=1, the cost of 1 bottle of cooking oil is $6.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let the cost of each bottle of cooking oil is $x.

Vivian bought 6 bottles of cooking oil.

Thus the cost of 6 bottles of cooking oil is 6x.

She gave the cashier $40 and expected $y change.

This can be written as:

$y+6x=40$

Part (a) express the cost of 1 bottle of cooking oil in terms of y.

$y+6x=40$

Subtract both sides by 6x.

$y=40-6x$

The required equation is $y=40-6x$ .

Part (b) if y=10, find the cost of 1 bottle of cooking oil.

Substitute the respective values in the above equation.

$10=40-6x$

$-30=-6x$

$x=5$

If y=10, the cost of 1 bottle of cooking oil is $5.

Part (c) if y=1, find the cost of 1 bottle of cooking oil.

Substitute the respective values in the above equation.

$1=40-6x$

$-39=-6x$

$x=6.5$

If y=1, the cost of 1 bottle of cooking oil is $6.5.

What is the length of the missing leg

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the pythagorean theorem, we know that a^2+ b^2=c^2

In our case, we know b, which is 5 and c which is 13.

If we plug that into the equation, we get a^2+ 5^2 = 13^2

Next, we simplify the equation. a^2 + 25 = 169

Then we subtract 25 from 169. 169 - 25 = 144.

Lastly, we do the square root of 144 and we get 12 which is the missing side.

Answer:

$x= 2.8$

or

$x=-4.3$

I chose the quadratic formula because I could not factor the quadratic.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all let's work out what $k(2)$ equals to. We can do this by replacing every $x$ term in $k(x)$ with a 2.

So: $k(2) = 2(2) + 12 = 4 + 12 = 16$

Now let's set up our equation $g(x) = 2 * k(2)$ . Replace the functions with what we know they equal to.

$2x^2+3x+8=2*16=32$

Now bring all the terms to one side:

$2x^2+3x-24=0$

Now we can solve this quadratic for $x$ .

I'll put this into the quadratic formula because it cannot be factored.

$x=\frac{-b\frac{+}{-} \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ , Compare our quadratic to the general equation of a quadratic: $ax^2+bx+c=0$ .

$a=2,b=3, c=-24$

Now put these terms into the quadratic formula to get the values for $x$ .

$x=\frac{-3\frac{+}{-} \sqrt{(3)^2-4(2)(-24)} }{2(2)}$

So: $x=\frac{-3+\sqrt{201} }{4}$ =2.8 (1 decimal place)

or

$x=\frac{-3-\sqrt{201} }{4}$ = -4.3 (1 decimal place)

Please help find the value of x please:)

Answer: 100

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles right triangle therefore has angles of 45 degrees, 45 degrees, and 90 degrees. For an isosceles right triangle with side lengths a, the hypotenuse has length $\sqrt(2)a$ .

Therefore $x=100\sqrt{2} /\sqrt{2}=100$
