Answer:
k = -6/35
Step-by-step explanation:
To make the function continuous
kx^2 = x+k
These must be equal where the function is defined for two different intervals
This is at the point x=-6 so let x=-6
k(-6)^2 = -6+k
36k = -6+k
Subtract k from each side
36k-k = -6+k-k
35k = -6
Divide by 35
35k/35 = -6/35
k = -6/35
Answer:
Jelly Bean price per pound = $3.25, Trail Mix price per pound = $1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let jb = price per pound of jelly beans
Let tm = price per pound of trail mix
equation 1 -> 6*jb + 2*tm = 22
equation 2 -> 3*jb + 5*tm = 16
simplify equation 1
6*jb + 2tm = 22
2*tm = 22 - 6*jb
divide by 2
tm = 11 - 3*jb
plug this into equation 2
3*jb + 5*tm = 16
3*jb + 5*(11-3*jb) = 16
3*jb + 55 - 15*jb = 16
-12*jb + 55 = 16
-12*jb = 16 - 55
-12*jb = -39
jb = -39/-12
jb = 3.25
then, plug the cost per pound of jelly beans back into the simplified equation 1
tm = 11 - 3*jb
tm = 11 - 3*3.25
tm = 1.25
10(3) + 3 = 33 times in 2 minutes
10(120) + 3 = 1203 times in 2 hours
The answer is y = 2x + 3.
x - Kay's age
y - Jane's age
m - Mary's age
<span>Jane is 3 years older than Mary: y = m + 3
</span><span>Mary is twice as old as Kay: m = 2x
</span><span>
y = m + 3
m = 2x
Substitute m in the first equation:
y = 2x + 3
