Answer:

You sold 15 cookies and 12 muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

So you're given that 1 cookie is sold for $3 and 1 muffin is sold for $7

You're also given that in total you made $129, and sold 27 items

Let's make equations from that, letting c stand for amount of cookies and m for amount of muffins.

  • 3c + 7m = 129 (equation for amount of money made)
  • c + m = 27 (equation for amount of items sold)

Now we can use the second equation to find m:

c + m = 27

m = 27 - c

Not we can substitute m into the first equation to find c:

3c + 7m = 129                  

3c + 7(27-c) = 129            [substitute m for (27-c)]

3c + 189 -7c = 129           [distribute 7 into (27-c)]

-4c + 189 = 129                [combine like terms]

-4c = -60                          [subtract 189 from both sides]

c = 15                               [divide both sides by -4]

Now we can substitute c into the second equation to find m:

c + m = 27

15 + m = 27

m = 12

You sold 15 cookies and 12 muffins.

c - cookies
m - muffins

c + m = 27

3c + 7m = 129

I don’t know how to explain how to do efficiently but I just plugged in numbers until it worked:

3(15) + 7(12) = 129

45 + 84 = 129

AB, CD, and EF intersect at O. If CD is perpendicular to EF and m
REY [17]

Answer:

m(∠AOF) = 148°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

CD intersects line EF at a point O.

Line CD is perpendicular to the line EF.

m(∠AOE) = 32°

m(∠COE) = 90°

Since m(∠COE) = m(∠AOE) + m(∠AOC) = 90°

32° + m(∠AOC) = 90°

m(∠AOC) = 90° - 32° = 58°

m(∠AOF) = m(∠AOC) + m(∠COF)

               = 58° + 90°

               = 148°

Therefore, m(∠AOF) = 148° will be the answer.

What is the square root of -225
NemiM [27]

Answer:

15i

Step-by-step explanation:

since 15 x 15 is 225, the imaginary number comes into play here. i x i = -1, so 15i x 15i = -225

Explain why Rolle's Theorem does not apply to the function even though there exist a and b such that f(a)
Anna35 [415]

Rolle's Theorem does not apply to the function because there are points on the interval (a,b) where f is not differentiable.

Given the function is f(x)=\sqrt{(2-x^{\frac{2}{3}})^{3}}  and the Rolle's Theorem does not apply to the function.

Rolle's theorem is used to determine if a function is continuous and also differentiable.

The condition for Rolle's theorem to be true as:

  • f(a)=f(b)
  • f(x) must be continuous in [a,b].
  • f(x) must be differentiable in (a,b).

To apply the Rolle’s Theorem we need to have function that is differentiable on the given open interval.

If we look closely at the given function we can see that the first derivative of the given function is:

\begin{aligned}f(x)&=\sqrt{(2-x^{\frac{2}{3}})^3}\\ f(x)&=(2-x^{\frac{2}{3}})^{\frac{3}{2}}\\ f'(x)&=\frac{3}{2}(2-x^{\frac{2}{3}})^{\frac{1}{2}}\cdot \frac{2}{3}\cdot (-x)^{\frac{1}{3}}\\ f'(x)&=\frac{-\sqrt{2-x^{\frac{2}{3}}}}{\sqrt[3]{x}}\end

From this point of view we can see that the given function is not defined for x=0.

Hence, all the assumptions are not satisfied we can reach a conclusion that we cannot apply the Rolle's Theorem.
