josue bought 7 pounds of pretzels at a local wholesaler for $16.80. his friend ricardo bought 5 pounds of pretzels at the superm

arket for $12.75. Ricardo thinks he got the better deal because $12.75 is less than $16.80. Is Ricardo's reasoning correct? Explain why or why not.

Answer:

Ricardo's reasoning is not correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Find who got the better deal by dividing the price by the number of pounds of pretzels:

16.80/7 = $2.40 a pound

12.75/5 = $2.55 a pound

So, Josue got the better deal because he only spent $2.40 a pound on the pretzels, while Ricardo spent $2.55 a pound.

Ricardo did not get the better deal, because he spent more per pound on the pretzels.

Ricardo's reasoning is not correct.

HELPPPP!!!
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

(x - 1)²/4² - (y - 2)²/2² = 1 ⇒ The bold labels are the choices

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve this problem

- The equation of the hyperbola is x² - 4y² - 2x + 16y - 31 = 0

- The standard form of the equation of hyperbola is

  (x - h)²/a² - (y - k)²/b² = 1 where a > b

- So lets collect x in a bracket and make it a completing square and

  also collect y in a bracket and make it a completing square

∵ x² - 4y² - 2x + 16y - 31 = 0

∴ (x² - 2x) + (-4y² + 16y) - 31 = 0

- Take from the second bracket -4 as a common factor

∴ (x² - 2x) + -4(y² - 4y) - 31 = 0

∴ (x² - 2x) - 4(y² - 4y) - 31 = 0

- Lets make (x² - 2x) completing square

∵ √x² = x

∴ The 1st term in the bracket is x

∵ 2x ÷ 2 = x

∴ The product of the 1st term and the 2nd term is x

∵ The 1st term is x

∴ the second term = x ÷ x = 1

∴ The bracket is (x - 1)²

∵  (x - 1)² = (x² - 2x + 1)

∴ To complete the square add 1 to the bracket and subtract 1 out

   the bracket to keep the equation as it

∴ (x² - 2x + 1) - 1

- We will do the same withe bracket of y

- Lets make 4(y² - 4y) completing square

∵ √y² = y

∴ The 1st term in the bracket is x

∵ 4y ÷ 2 = 2y

∴ The product of the 1st term and the 2nd term is 2y

∵ The 1st term is y

∴ the second term = 2y ÷ y = 2

∴ The bracket is 4(y - 2)²

∵ 4(y - 2)² = 4(y² - 4y + 4)

∴ To complete the square add 4 to the bracket and subtract 4 out

   the bracket to keep the equation as it

∴ 4[y² - 4y + 4) - 4]

- Lets put the equation after making the completing square

∴ (x - 1)² - 1 - 4[(y - 2)² - 4] - 31 = 0 ⇒ simplify

∴ (x - 1)² - 1 - 4(y - 2)² + 16 - 31 = 0 ⇒ add the numerical terms

∴ (x - 1)² - 4(y - 2)² - 16 = 0 ⇒ add 14 to both sides

∴ (x - 1)² - 4(y - 2)² = 16 ⇒ divide both sides by 16

∴ (x - 1)²/16 - (y - 2)²/4 = 1

∵ 16 = (4)² and 4 = (2)²

∴ The standard form of the equation of the hyperbola is

   (x - 1)²/4² - (y - 2)²/2² = 1

1.The growth of a sample of bacteria can be modeled by the function b(t)=100(1.06)t where b is the number of bacteria and t is t
qwelly [4]

Given:

The growth of a sample of bacteria can be modeled by the function

b(t)=100(1.06)^t

where, b is the number of bacteria and t is time in hours.

To find:

The number of total bacteria after 3 hours.

Solution:

We have,

b(t)=100(1.06)^t

Here, b(t) number of total bacteria after t hours.

Substitute t=3 in the given function, to find the number of total bacteria after 3 hours.

b(t)=100(1.06)^3

b(t)=100(1.191016)

b(t)=119.1016


Therefore, the number of total bacteria after 3 hours is 119.1016.
