Answer:

the cost each of one cherry pie and one lemon meringue pie is 9 and $12 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the cost of one cherry pie and the lemon meringue pie is shown below:

Let us assume the cherry pie be x

And, the lemon meringue pie be y

So according to the question

x + 5y = $69

5x + 7y = $129

Now multiply by 5 in the equation 1

5x + 25y = $345

5x + 7y = $129

18y = $216

y = $12

And, x would be

x + 5($12) = $69

x = $9

Hence, the cost each of one cherry pie and one lemon meringue pie is 9 and $12 respectively

Find two numbers whose sum is 25 and the sum of whose reciprocals is 1/6
Katen [24]

Answer:

10 and 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' and 'y' are the numbers we need to find.

x + y = 25 (two numbers whose sum is 25)

(1/x) + (1/y) = 1/6 (the sum of whose reciprocals is 1/6)

The solutions of the this system of equations are the numbers we need to find.

x = 25 - y

1/(25 - y) + 1/y = 1/6 multiply both sides by 6(25-y)y

6y + 6(25-y) = (25-y)y

6y + 150 - 6y = 25y - (y^2)

y^2 - 25y + 150 = 0 quadratic equation has 2 solutions

y1 = 15

y2 = 10

Thus we have :

First solution: for y = 15, x = 25 - 15 = 10

Second solution: for y = 10, x = 25 - 10 = 15

The first and the second solution are in fact the same one solution we are looking for: the two numbers are 10 and 15 (since the combination 10 and 15 is the same as 15 and 10).

Which function transforms the graph of y= x^2 so that it is first shifted down 4 units and its then reflected across the y- axis
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Option C. y= ( -x)^2 -4

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a function f(x) = ax ^ 2 and we want to transform it into a function g(x) that is equal to f(x) displaced c units down on the y-axis, then we must do:

g(x) = f(x) -c

In this case we want to move the function 4 units down, then:

g(x) = f(x) -4\\\\g(x) = x ^ 2 -4

Finally, to reflect the function on the y-axis. must do y = g(-x)

Then we have the following function:

g(-x) = (-x) ^ 2 -4\\\\y = (-x) ^ 2 -4

The answer is option C

PLEASE ANSWER ANY PROBLEM ASAP THANK YOU SO MUCH
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

1) No

2) Yes

3) angle UXS = 120 degrees

4) arc CB = 40 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If AB is tangent to the circle, then angle at A would be 90 degrees.

1)

Is 13^2 + 14.6^2 = 19.4^2?

169 + 213.16 = 376.36      No

2)

Is 8^2 + 6^2 = 10^2?

64 + 36 = 100      Yes

3)

arc WS = arc VU + arc TU = 113 degrees

arc ST = arc WV because their chords cross making a pair of vertical angles.

full circle = 360 degrees

360-113 - 113 = 134 degrees

134/2 = 67 degrees for arc ST

arc STU = 67 + 53 = 120 degrees

Angle UXS = 120 degrees

4) arc CB = arc FB =  40 degrees because their chords cross making a pair of vertical angles.
