Answer:

Cost of one pencil: \$0.07

Cost of one eraser: \$0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "p" the cost in dollars of one pencil and "e" the cost in dollars of one eraser.

Based on the information given in the exercise, you can set up the following system of equations:

\left \{ {{4p+3e=0.37} \atop {3p+4e=0.33 }} \right.

You can use the Elimination Method to solve the system of equations.

Multiply the first equation by -3 ad the second one by 4. Then add the equations and solve for "e":

{\left \{ {{-12p-9e=-1.11} \atop {12p+16e=1.32}} \right.\\..........................\\7e=0.21\\\\e=0.03

Substitute the value of "e" into any original equation  and solve for "p":

4p+3(0.03)=0.37\\\\p=\frac{0.28}{4}\\\\p=0.07

Find the length of the other two side of the isosceles right triangle
Valentin [98]

Answer:

The other two sides are 7 units each.

The triangle is isosceles.

The sides are in the ratio of

x : x : x \sqrt{2}

The hypotenuse is

7\sqrt{2}=x \sqrt{2}\\\\x = 7

So, the other two sides are 7 units each.

Solving Exponential and Logarithmic Equations In Exercise, solve for x.<br> In 2x - In(3x - 1) = 0
LenKa [72]

Answer:

\frac{-1}{3x^2-x}

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. If f(x) is in th form of f(x)=g(x)-h(x) then f'(x)=g'(x) - h'(x)
  2. When f(x)=z(g(x)) then f'(x)= z'(g(x))g'(x) (called as chain rule)

<u>using these information</u>:

g(x)=ln2x then g'(x)=\frac{(2x)'}{2x} =\frac{2}{2x}=\frac{1}{x}

h(x)=In(3x - 1) then h'(x)=\frac{(3x-1)'}{3x-1} =\frac{3}{3x-1}f'(x)=g'(x) - h'(x) =[tex]\frac{1}{x} - \frac{3}{3x-1} =\frac{-1}{3x^2-x}
