Answer: Option 'd' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of small hat be 'x'

Let the number of medium hat be 'y'.

Let the number of large hat be 'x'.

Cost of each small hat = $5.50

Cost of each medium hat = $ 6.00

Cost of each large hat = $7.00

According to this, our equations would be

x+y+z=47---(1)\\\\5.5x+6y+7z=\$302------(2)

And we have given that He purchases three times as many medium hats as small hats.

So, our equation would be

y=3x\\\\-3x+y=0-------(3)

so, the matrix would be

Ax=b

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\5.5&6&7\\-3&1&0\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}47\\302\\0\end{array}\right]

So, According to this, we can rewrite it as :

x=A^{-1}B

Here, Inverse of A would be

A^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\dfrac{14}{9}&\dfrac{-2}{9}&\dfrac{-2}{9}\\\\\dfrac{14}{3}&\dfrac{-2}{3}&\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\\dfrac{-47}{9}&\dfrac{8}{9}&\dfrac{-1}{9}\end{array}\right]

So, the value of 'X' would be written as

x=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\dfrac{14}{9}&\dfrac{-2}{9}&\dfrac{-2}{9}\\\\\dfrac{14}{3}&\dfrac{-2}{3}&\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\\dfrac{-47}{9}&\dfrac{8}{9}&\dfrac{-1}{9}\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}47\\\\302\\\\0\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}6\\\\18\\\\23\end{array}\right]

So, we using calculator, we get that

x = 6

y = 18

z = 23

So, Number of large hats purchased by the coach are 23.

Hence, Option 'd' is correct.

First, we define variables:
 x: small hat
 y: medium hat
 z: large hat
 We now write the system of equations:
 x + y + z = 47
 5.50x + 6y + 7z = 302
 -3x + y = 0
 We can write the system in matrix form as:
 Ax = b
 Where,
 A = [1  1  1; 5.50  6  7; -3  1  0]
 b = [47;  302;  0]
 x = [x;  y ;  z]
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 6
 y = 18
 z = 23
 Answer:
 
the coach did purchase 23 large hats
 
d. 23

Answer:

\frac{15}{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

  • \cos( \alpha )  =  \frac{ad}{hip}  \\  \\  \sin( \alpha )  =  \frac{op}{hip}

Pythagorean theorem

hip² = op² + ad²

17² = x² + 8²

x² = 17² - 8²

x \:  =  \sqrt{{17}^{2}  -  {8}^{2} }  \\ x =  \sqrt{289 - 64}  \\ x =  \sqrt{225}  \\ x = 15

\sin( \alpha )  =   - \frac{15}{17}

\sin( -  \alpha )  =  \frac{15}{17}

What is the image point of (8, 4) after a translation left 2 units and down 4 units?
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

(6, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

A translation to the left means subtract 2 from the x- coordinate

A translation down means subtract 4 from the y- coordinate

Then

(8, 4 ) → (8 - 2, 4 - 4 ) → (6, 0 )

First we have to find the decimal equivalent by dividing.
5 / 8 = 0.625

It can't be an Integer because decimals can't be intergers, so that's ruled out

It can't be repeating as it does end, so that's also ruled out

Since the decimal does end it can't be non-terminating, non-repeating

So the answer is Terminating Decimal by process of elimination

Suppose a certain home improvement outlet knows that the monthly demand for framing studs is 2,300 when the price is $4.77 each
pogonyaev

Answer:

p + 0.0001q = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

When Price, p₁ = $4.77 ; Demand, q₁ = 2,300

and,

When Price, p₂ = 3,300 ; Demand, q₂ = 3,300

considering the above as the points on the line,

now, the general equation for a line is given as:

\frac{q_1-q}{p_1-p}=\frac{q_2-q_1}{p_2-p_1}

on substituting the respective values, we get

\frac{2,300-q}{4.77-p}=\frac{3,300-2,300}{4.67-4.77}

or

\frac{2,300-q}{4.77-p}=\frac{1000}{-0.1}

or

2,300 - q = -10,000(4.77 - p)

or

⇒ 2,300 - q = -47700 + 10,000p

or

⇒ 10,000p + q = 2300 + 47700

or

⇒ 10,000p + q = 50000

or

⇒ p + 0.0001q = 5
