Answer: $1.80

Step-by-step explanation:

600 grams - .6 kg

.6x+1.5y=4.62

y=x-1.4

.6x+1.5(x-1.4)=4.62

.6x+1.5x-2.1=4.62

2.1x=6.72

x=3.2 ( 1 KG of candy)

y=3.2-1.4

1.8=y (1 KG of cookies)

Triangle END is translated using the rule (x, y) → (x − 4, y − 1) to create triangle E'N'D'. If a line segment is drawn from poi

vova2212 [387]

Here are the choices for this problem:
They are parallel and congruent.
They are perpendicular to each other.
They share the same midpoints.
They create diameters of concentric circles.

The transformation that is done is a translation. Which means that the coordinates will be translated or moved in the coordinate plane without changing the size and the orientation of the image. If is a line was drawn from E to E' and another line was drawn from N to N', the two lines would be parallel and congruent since the translation done to E is the same to that of N.

The answer is
They are parallel and congruent.

What is the surface area of the triangular prism shown below<br> ???

Cerrena [4.2K]

<u>Given</u>:

Given that the base of the triangle is 4 cm.

The height of the triangle is 3 cm.

The height of the prism is 8 cm.

The other side of the triangle is 5 cm.

We need to determine the surface area of the triangular prism.

<u>Surface area of the triangular prism:</u>

The surface area of the triangular prism can be determined using the formula,

$SA=bh+(s_1+s_2+s_3)H$

where b is the base of the triangle,

h is the height of the triangle,

s₁, s₂, s₃ are the side lengths of the triangle and

H is the height of the prism.

Substituting b = 4, h = 3, s₁ = 4, s₂ = 3, s₃ = 5 and H = 8, we get;

$SA=(4)(3)+(4+3+5)(8)$

$SA=12+(12)(8)$

$SA=12+96$

$SA=108 \ cm^2$

Thus, the surface area of the triangular prism is 108 square cm.

Write an equation of a quadratic with roots of -1/4 and 3/2

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First and foremost, a root is the same thing as a zero. It's called a zero because when x is equal to -1/4 (as it is here), y = 0. Where y = 0 is the x-axis. So if a quadratic has a 0 of -1/4, that is where the graph of the parabola goes through the x-axis.

If your quadratic has a zero of -1/4, that means that when y = 0, x = -1/4. Again, because this is a zero of the quadratic, then we can write it in factor form by setting x = -1/4 equal to 0. Do that like this:

If x = -1/4, then x + 1/4 = 0 and the factor is (x + 1/4) However, we do not want to leave that as a fraction. Take care of the fraction when it is set to equal 0:

$x+\frac{1}{4}=0$ and multiply everything by 4:

$(4)x+(4)\frac{1}{4}x=(4)0$ and simplify to

4x + 1 = 0 and the factor is

(4x + 1).

Do the same with the 3/2: If

$x=\frac{3}{2}$ , then

$x-\frac{3}{2}=0$ . Multiply everything by 2 to get:

$(2)x-(2)\frac{3}{2}=(2)0$ to give you

2x - 3 = 0 and the factor is

(2x - 3).

FOIL those 2 factors together to get

$8x^2-12x+2x-3=0$ which simplifies to

$8x^2-10x-3=0$

Now set it back equal to y and you're done!
