(a) System of equations are

$2x+4y=14794\\3x+5y=19892\\$

(b) The cost of MacBook is $2,799

The cost of iMac is $2,299

Given :

Firm purchased 2MacBook Pro notebooks and 4iMac desktops for a total order price of $14,794

they purchased 3MacBook Pro notebooks and 5 iMac desktops for a total order price of $19,892.

Let x be the cost of MacBook Pro

and y be the cost of iMac

Now frame the equation using given information

2 MacBook +4 iMac= 14794

2x+4y=14794

3 MacBook +5 iMac= 19892

3x+5y=19892

System of equations are

$2x+4y=14794\\3x+5y=19892\\$

To solve for x and y , Lets solve the second equation for x

$3x+5y=19892\\3x=19892-5y\\x=\frac{19892-5y}{3}$

Substitute x in first equation and solve for y

$2\cdot \frac{19892-5y}{3}+4y=14794\\\frac{39784+2y}{3}=14794\\\frac{3\left(39784+2y\right)}{3}=14794\cdot \:3\\39784+2y=44382\\2y=4598\\y=2299$

Substitute y value in the x equation

$\mathrm{\:}x=\frac{19892-5y}{3}\\x=\frac{19892-5\cdot \:2299}{3}\\x=2799$

The cost of MacBook is $2,799

The cost of iMac is $2,299

(a) $[\frac{9}{2.6} - \frac{2.5^{2} }{2.5} ]^{2}$

Answer:

$[\frac{9}{2.6} - \frac{2.5^{2} }{2.5} ]^{2}$

= $[\frac{9}{2.6} - \frac{2.5*2.5 }{2.5} ]^{2}$

= $[\frac{9}{2.6} - \frac{2.5}{1} ]^{2}$

*canceling 2.5 in numerator and denominator*

$= [\frac{9-(2.5)(2.6)}{2.6} ]^2\\*Using L.C.M of 2.6 and 1 which comes out to be '2.6'= [\frac{9-(6.5)}{2.6} ]^2\\= [\frac{2.5}{2.6} ]^2\\*multiplying and dividing by '10'= [\frac{2.5*10}{2.6*10} ]^2\\= [\frac{25}{26} ]^2\\= \frac{25^2}{26^2}\\= \frac{625}{676}\\= 0.925$

Properties used:

Cancellation property of fractions

Least Common Multiplier(LCM)

The least or smallest common multiple of any two or more given natural numbers are termed as LCM. For example, LCM of 10, 15, and 20 is 60.

(b) $[[\frac{3x^{a}y^{b}} {-3x^{a} y^{b} } ]^{3} ] ^{2}$

Answer:

$[[\frac{3x^{a}y^{b}} {-3x^{a} y^{b} } ]^{3}] ^{2}\\$

*using $[x^{a}]^b = x^{ab}$ *

$= [\frac{3x^{3a}y^{3b}} {-3x^{3a} y^{3b} }] ^{2}$

*Again, using $[x^{a}]^b = x^{ab}$ *

$= \frac{3x^{2*3a}y^{2*3b}} {-3x^{2*3a} y^{2*3b} } \\= (-1)\frac{3x^{6a}y^{6b}} {3x^{6a} y^{6b} }\\[\tex]*taking -1 common, denominator and numerator are equal*[tex]= -(1)\frac{1}{1}\\= -1$

Property used: 'Power of a power'

We can raise a power to a power

(x^2)4=(x⋅x)⋅(x⋅x)⋅(x⋅x)⋅(x⋅x)=x^8

This is called the power of a power property and says that to find a power of a power you just have to multiply the exponents.

In 1979, zoologists estimated the number of fish in a local pond to be about

rewona [7]

Answer:

693 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

In 10 years, we can tell that the amount of fish increased by 1.833...(990 divided by 540) times. If we divide 1.833... by 10, we can find how much the pond increases by yearly. we get 0.1833... If we multiply that by 7 (because the gap between 1986 and 1979 is 7 years), we get 1.2833... So, if we multiply 540 by 1.28333..., we get 693 fish.
