Sam buys 3 pounds of apples for $6. What is the unit rate?

Mathematics
1 answer:
olganol [36]2 years ago
5 0

Answer: 1 pound per $2

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine this problem as a ratio:

Pounds : Dollars

3 : 6

To simplify this ratio, we see that a common divisor(in fact the only common divisor) is 3.

3/3 : 6/3

1 : 2

Therefore, we get 1 pound per $2

Factorise <br> a) 3x^2-7x+2<br> b)2x^2-x-3<br> c)3x^2-16x-12
Luba_88 [7]

Answer: Answers are in the steps read carefully!

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 3x^2 - 7x + 2 To factor this polynomial, you have to find two numbers that their product is 6 and their sum is -7.  The numbers -1 and -6 works out because -6 times -1 is 6  and -6 plus -1 is -7.

Now rewrite the polynomial as

3x^2 - 1x - 6x + 2   Now group it  

(3x^2 - 1x) (-6x+2)  Factor it by groups

x (3x -1)  -2(3x -1)    Now factor out 3x-1  

(3x -1) (x-2)  Done!    

B)  2x^2 - x -3     Now the same way.You will have two numbers that  their product is -6 and their sum is -1. You may be wondering how I get -6 .I get -6 by multiply the leading coefficient  2 by the constant -3.  The numbers -3 and 2 works out. Because -3 times 2 is -6 and -3 plus 2 is -1.

 Rewrite the polynomial as

2x^2 +2x - 3x -3     GRoup them and factor them

(2x^2 + 2x)  (-3x-3)  

2x(x+1) -3(x+1)  Factor out x+1

(x+1) (2x -3) Done!  

C) 3x^2 - 16x - 12   Find two numbers that their product is -36 and their sum is -12. The numbers -18 and 2 works out because -18 times 2 is -36 and -18 plus 2 is -16.

Rewrite the polynomial

3x^2 +2x -18x - 12   GRoup them

 (3x^2 + 2x)   (-18x - 12)   Factor them

x (3x +2) -6(3x +2)  Factor out 3x+2

(3x+2) (x -6)  Done !

The bill for a meal at a restaurant before tax is $84.00. the sales tax rate is 7% and you want to leave a 20% tip based on the
Strike441 [17]
The pree tax amount count as 100%, then there's the 7% tax and lastly the 20% tip. therefore, one would pay (100+20+7)% of $84.00.
127% of $84.00
(127/100) * $84.00 = $106.68

Find two unit vectors orthogonal to both 8, 5, 1 and −1, 1, 0 .
Elina [12.6K]
In order to do this, you must first find the "cross product" of these vectors. To do that, we can use several methods. To simplify this first, I suggest you compute:

‹1, -1, 1› × ‹0, 1, 1›

You are interested in vectors orthogonal to the originals, which don't change when you scale them. Using 0,-1,1 is much easier than 6s and 7s.

So what methods are there to compute this? You can review them here (or presumably in your class notes or textbook):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_produ...

In addition to these methods, sometimes I like to set up:
‹1, -1, 1› • ‹a, b, c› = 0
‹0, 1, 1› • ‹a, b, c› = 0

That is the dot product, and having these dot products equal zero guarantees orthogonality. You can convert that to:

a - b + c = 0
b + c = 0

This is two equations, three unknowns, so you can solve it with one free parameter:

b = -c
a = c - b = -2c

The computation, regardless of method, yields:
‹1, -1, 1› × ‹0, 1, 1› = ‹-2, -1, 1›

The above method, solving equations, works because you'd just plug in c=1 to obtain this solution. However, it is not a unit vector. There will always be two unit vectors (if you find one, then its negative will be the other of course). To find the unit vector, we need to find the magnitude of our vector:

|| ‹-2, -1, 1› || = √( (-2)² + (-1)² + (1)² ) = √( 4 + 1 + 1 ) = √6

Then we divide that vector by its magnitude to yield one solution:

‹ -2/√6 , -1/√6 , 1/√6 ›

And take the negative for the other:

‹ 2/√6 , 1/√6 , -1/√6 ›
