Answer:

<em>Arielle has 374 grasshoppers and 187 crickets</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set:

x = number of grasshoppers

y = number of crickets

Arielle has a collection of 561 insects, thus:

x + y = 561            [1]

The number of grasshoppers is twice the number of crickets, thus:

x = 2y                   [2]

Substituting [2] in [1]:

2y + y = 561

Simplifying:

3y = 561

Dividing by 3:

y = 561/3

y = 187

From [2]:

x = 2*187 = 374

x = 374

Arielle has 374 grasshoppers and 187 crickets

Please help!! also please explain I would like to understand.​
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

First, put this equation in slope intercept form.

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

y+1>2(x-1) \\ \\ y+1>2x-2 \\ \\ y>2x-3

Since it's greater than, the solution set is above the line, effectively eliminating graph D.

Now we should graph it.

We can see that the point (2,1) is on the graph, and only Graph A has that point. Therefore, Graph A is the correct graph.

The degree of the function f(x) = -(x + 1)2(2x - 3)(x + 2)2 is<br> , and its y-intercept is
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Degree = 5

Y intercept = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

our function is given as

f(x)=-(x+1)^2 \cdot (2x-3) \cdot (x+2)^2

in the above polynomial our variable is x and it is being multiplied for 5 times. Hence the probable degree for the above polynomial is 5

In order to find the y intercept , we need to put x=0 in f(x) as y intercept is the point at which the function graphically meets y axis and where x = 0

Hence

f(0)=-(0+1)^2 \cdot (2(0)-3) \cdot (0+2)^2

f(0)=-(1)^2 \cdot (0-3) \cdot (2)^2

f(0)=-1 \cdot (-3) \cdot 4

f(0)=3 \cdot 4

f(0)=3 \times 4

f(0)=12

Hence the y intercept is 12 units

At a local seaside, a vendor sells single-cone ice-creams for $3 and double-cone ice-creams for $4.50. The vendor stocks a maxim
guapka [62]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of single cone ice cream and let y represent the number of double cone ice cream.

Since the vendor stocks a maximum of 70 single cones and a maximum of 45 double cones. hence:

0 < x ≤ 70, 0 < y ≤ 45      (1)

The vendor expects to sell no more than 50 ice creams, hence:

x + y ≤ 50

Plotting the constraint using geogebra online graphing tool, we can see that the solution to the problem is at (5, 45)

Since the vendor sells single-cone ice-creams for $3 and double-cone ice-creams for $4.50, hence:

Revenue = 3x + 4.5y

At the point (5, 45), the revenue is:

Revenue = 3(5) + 4.5(45) = $217.5
