Answer:

Let bags of pecans cost = x

Make an equation :

Bags of almonds cost = x + 3 (they said almonds cost 3 dollars more)

Total number of bags ordered: (3 bags pecans) + (5 bags of almonds)

Cost for pecans = 3x

Cost for almonds = 5(x + 3) = 5x + 15

Price of pecans + price of almonds = total cost

Solve for x:

3x + 5(x + 3) = 55 (remove brackets)

3x + 5x + 15 = 55 (add like terms)

8x + 15 = 55

8x + 15 - 15 = 55 - 15 (get rid of the 15)

8x = 40

8x/8 = 40/8

x = 5

bags pecans cost is $5

bags of almonds is $5+$3 = $8

Find the larger of the two roots of the equation y = -2.2x2 + 63.5x - 17
Luden [163]

The larger of the two roots of the equation y = -2.2x^2 + 63.5x - 17would be 28.59.

<h3>How to find the roots of a quadratic equation?</h3>

Suppose that the given quadratic equation is

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

Then its roots are given as:

x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

The given quadratic equation is

y = -2.2x^2 + 63.5x - 17

now, the roots of the equation are

x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm \sqrt{63.5^2 - 4(-2.2)(-17)}}{2(-2.2)}\\\\\\x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm \sqrt{4032.25 - 149.6}}{(-4.4)}\\\\\\x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm \sqrt{3882.65}}{(-4.4)}\\\\\\x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm 62.31}{(-4.4)}

The two roots are 0.27 and 28.59.

Thus, the larger of the two roots of the equation y = -2.2x^2 + 63.5x - 17would be 28.59.

What is the formula for the sum of the interior angles of a polygon
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Sum of the interior angles = (n-2) x 180°

where

n is the number of sides of the polygon

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is:

sum=(n-2)*180

where

sum is the sum of the interior angle of the polygon

n is the number of polygons

Let's check the formula using an example:

We want to find the sum of the interior angles of a square, we know that a square has 4 sides, so n=4.

Replacing values

sum=(4-2)*180

sum=(2)*180

sum=360

We can apply the same procedure to any convex polygon with n sides.

Find a formula for the nth term of the sequence in terms of n. the sequence​ 1, 0,​ 1, 0,​ 1, ...
timofeeve [1]

If the sequence is like this, you actually don’t have to formulate a formula. You just have to formulate a principle. You just have to remember that when n is an odd number, the value would always be 1. If the n is an even number, the value would always be 0.
