Mathematics

Answer:

Snickerdoodles are 0.22$ each and chocolate chip are 0.43$ each

Step-by-step explanation:

using the information in the problem, you can make 2 separate equations: 8x+12y=6.92 and 5x+5y=3.25, let x= the cost of a snickerdoodle and y= the cost of a chocolate chip cookie.

With the 2 equations, we can isolate the y variable of the first equation and simplify which will give us y= -2/3x +6.92/12.

You can now take that equation and plug it into equation number 2:

5x+5(-2/3x + 6.92/12)=3.25.

solve that equation by multiplying 5 through the brackets: 5x-10/3x+34.6/12=3.25

add common terms: 5/3x=4.4/12

find the value of x, you will get x=0.22

plug the value of x (0.22) into one of your equations and solve for the y-value

2.5 pounds of apples * $1.20 = $3

He spent total $4.50

So he had to have spent 1.50 on oranges.

So $1.50=$1.20 x where x will be the pound of oranges bought.

1.50/1.20 = 1.25 or 1 1/4 pounds of oranges.

What are the coordinates of the vertex for f(x) = 2x2 + 4x + 9?
Vlada [557]
Your equation f(x)=2x^2+4x+9 is in the form y=ax^2+bx+c
The vertex only relies on "a" and "b" though, so that +9 doesn't really matter in this case.  The vertex of a parabola is located where 
x=\frac{-b}{2a}=\frac{-4}{2(2)}=-1
So your x-coordinate is -1.  You need to find f(-1) to find your y-coordinate, and then you list it in the form (-1, y).
