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

Tara standing 20 feet from a tree and the angle of elevation is 72°. About how tall is the tree?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Approx 61.554 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are dealing with the opposite and adjacent sides, we will use tangent as our ratio.

Since the angle of elevation is 72 degrees, the left side of our equation is tan(72).

The right side of the equation is opposite over adjacent.

x/20

Set these equal to each other.

tan(72) = x/20

Simplify.

20 tan(72)=x

20(3.078) = x

x is approximately 61.554.

Q3: A

Q4: 9x² + (-x) + (-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Q3: C (63) => x = 63. => C(x) = 36 x 63

Q4: f(x) + g(x) = 7x² - 5x + 3 + 2x² + 4x - 6 = (7x² + 2x²) + (-5x + 4x) + (3 - 6) = 9x² + (-x) + (-3)
