Raisins (x) that sell for $1.60 per pound are mixed with chocolate chips (y) that sell for $2.45 per pound to make 17 pounds of

a mixture. The mixture sells for $2.00 per pound. Which system of linear equations can be used to find the amount of each ingredient in the mixture?
A) xy = 17
1.60x + 2.45y = 34
B) x + y = 17
1.60x + 2.45y = 34
C) x + y = 17
1.60x + 2.45y = 17
D) x + y = 17
1.60x − 2.45y = 34

Answer: B) x + y = 17

1.60x + 2.45y = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of x = $1.60 per pound

Cost of y = $2.45 per pound

Total pounds of x and y = 17

Cost per pound of mixture = $2

Total number of pounds of the mixture :

x + y = 17

Since the cost per pound of the mixture = 2

Hence ;

(Cost of x * number of pounds of x) + (Cost of y * number of pounds of y)

(1.60 * x) + (2.45 * y) = (cost per pound of mixture * total number of pounds of the mixture)

1.60x + 2.45y = 2 * 17

1.60x + 2.45y = 34

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (-4,10) and a directrix of y=-4 write the equation of the parabola in any form
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

(x+4)^2=28(y-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The directrix of the parabola is the horizontal line with the eqaution y=-4. The focus of the parabola is at point (-4,10), than the axis of symmetry of the parabola is the perpendicular line to the directrix passing through the focus. Its equation is x=-4

The distance between the directrix and the focus is |10-(-4)|=14, so p=14 and the vertex is at point \left(-4,10-\dfrac{14}{2}\right)\rightarrow (-4,3)

Parabola goes in positive y-direction, hence its equation  is

(x-x_0)^2=2p(y-y_0),

where (x_0,y_0) is the vertex, so the equation of this parabola is

(x+4)^2=28(y-3)
