Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

If Joe orders 2 chicken dinners and 3 sides for $34.50, then you have to multiply 3.50 by 3 to get the ammount that the dinners cost.

3.50x3 = 10.50

Next, you have to subtract 10.50 from 34.50 to get the cost of just the 2 dinners.

34.50 - 10.50 = 24.00

Now, divide 24 by 2 to get the cost for 1 dinner.

24/2 = 12

Since Brody ordered 2 sides, you have to subtract 3.50x2 = 7 from 43 to get the total of his dinners.

43 - 7 = 36.

Now we can check our answer. Since 1 dinner costs $12, we can multiply 12 by 3 to get 36, which is the exact same number as the one we just figured out. So, each side costs 3.50.

(You can also multiply 12 by 3.50 to get 43, which was the total cost of Brody's order.)

If f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) =4x - 1, find f(4).

fomenos

Solve the "f" function with substitute 4 and solve the "g" function with what we get for the "f" function.

f(4) = 2(8) + 3

f(4) = 16 + 3

f(4) = 19

g(19) = 4(19) - 1

g(19) = 76 - 1

g(19) = 75

Best of Luck!

a 28 ft. ladder leaning against a vertical wall makes an angel of 80 degrees with the ground. How far from the base of the wall

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The ladder is 4.86 foot from the base of the wall .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The length of the ladder = 28 ft

The ladder makes angle of 80° with the ground

Let The distance of the ladder from the foot of the wall = x ft

Now, From Triangle BAC

Cos angle = $\dfrac{\textrm Base}{\textrm Hypotenuse}$

I.e Cos 80° = $\dfrac{\textrm BA}{\textrm AC}$

Or, 0.1736 = $\dfrac{\textrm x}{\textrm 28}$

Or, x = 0.1736 × 28

∴ x = 4.86 foot

So, The distance of ladder from wall base = x = 4.86 foot

Hence The ladder is 4.86 foot from the base of the wall . Answer

Plz help<br>urgent !!!!<br>will give the brainliest !!

Answer:

$X = \begin{bmatrix}1&3\\ 2&4\end{bmatrix}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question we have at hand is, in other words,

$\begin{bmatrix}4&2\\ \:1&1\end{bmatrix}\left(X\right)=\begin{bmatrix}8&20\\ \:3&7\end{bmatrix}$ - where we have to solve for the value of $X$

If we have to isolate $X$ here, then we would have to take the inverse of the following matrix ...

$\begin{bmatrix}4&2\\ \:1&1\end{bmatrix}$ ... so that it should be as follows ... $\begin{bmatrix}4&2\\ \:1&1\end{bmatrix}^{-1}$

Therefore, we can conclude that the equation as to solve for " $X$ " will be the following,

$X=\begin{bmatrix}4&2\\ 1&1\end{bmatrix}^{-1}\begin{bmatrix}8&20\\ 3&7\end{bmatrix}$ - First find the 2 x 2 matrix inverse of the first portion,

$\begin{bmatrix}4&2\\ 1&1\end{bmatrix}^{-1}$ = $\frac{1}{\det \begin{pmatrix}4&2\\ 1&1\end{pmatrix}}\begin{pmatrix}1&-2\\ -1&4\end{pmatrix}$ = $\frac{1}{2}\begin{bmatrix}1&-2\\ -1&4\end{bmatrix}$ = $\begin{bmatrix}\frac{1}{2}&-1\\ -\frac{1}{2}&2\end{bmatrix}$

At this point we have to multiply the rows of the first matrix by the rows of the second matrix,

$X = \begin{bmatrix}\frac{1}{2}&-1\\ -\frac{1}{2}&2\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}8&20\\ 3&7\end{bmatrix}$ ,

$X = \begin{pmatrix}\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:8+\left(-1\right)\cdot \:3&\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:20+\left(-1\right)\cdot \:7\\ \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)\cdot \:8+2\cdot \:3&\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)\cdot \:20+2\cdot \:7\end{pmatrix}$ - Simplifying this, we should get ...

$\begin{bmatrix}1&3\\ 2&4\end{bmatrix}$ ... which is our solution.

Which equation represents an exponential function with an initial value of 500

WITCHER [35]

Exponential function is characterized by an exponential increase or decrease of the value from one data point to the next by some constant. When you graph an exponential function, it would start by having a very steep slope. As time goes on, the slope decreases until it levels off. The general from of this equation is: y = A×b^x, where A is the initial data point at the start of an event, like an experiment. The term 'b' is the constant of exponential change. This is raised to the power of x, which represents the independent variable, usually time.

So, the hint for you to find is the term 500 right before the term with an exponent. For example, the function would be: y = 500(1.8)^x.
