hannah and mallory are selling boxes of cookies for a school fundraiser. each box costs the same amount. hannah sells 14 boxes.

mallory sells 22 boxes. mallory's neighbor makes a $6 donation without buying any cookies. together, hannah and mallory raise $141. write ans solve an equation to find out how much each box of cookies costs. how much does hannah raise? how much does mallory raise?

The cost per box of cookies is $3.75

The total amount Hannah raised from the sales of cookies is $52.50

The total amount Mallory raised from the sales of cookies and donations is $88.50

In order to determine the cost per box of cookies, take the following steps:

The first step is to determine the total sum of the boxes sold by Hannah and Mallory

Sum of the boxes sold = 14 + 22 = 36 boxes

36 boxes were sold by Hannah and Mallory

The second step is to determine the total cost of the 36 boxes sold.

Total cost of 36 boxes = total amount raised - donation

$141 - $6 = $135

The third step is to determine the total cost of each box

cost of one box = total cost of 36 boxes / total number of boxes

135 / 36 = $3.75

The total amount Hannah raised = cost per box x number of boxes she sold

14 x $3.75 = $52.50

The total amount Mallory raised = amount raised from the sale of cookies + donation

amount raised from sales = cost per box x number of boxes she sold

22 x $3.75 = $82.50

Total amount = $82.50 + $6 = $88.50

6) If sec theta+tan theta = P. PT sin theta=P^2-1/P^2+1 ...?

jarptica [38.1K]

I will use the letter x instead of theta.

Then the problem is, given sec(x) + tan(x) = P, show that

sin(x) = [P^2 - 1] / [P^2 + 1]

I am going to take a non regular path.

First, develop a little the left side of the first equation:

sec(x) + tan(x) = 1 / cos(x) + sin(x) / cos(x) = [1 + sin(x)] / cos(x)

and that is equal to P.

Second, develop the rigth side of the second equation:

[p^2 - 1] / [p^2 + 1] =

= [ { [1 + sin(x)] / cos(x) }^2 - 1] / [ { [1 + sin(x)] / cos(x)}^2 +1 ] =

= { [1 + sin(x)]^2 - [cos(x)]^2 } / { [1 + sin(x)]^2 + [cos(x)]^2 } =

= {1 + 2sin(x) + [sin(x)^2] - [cos(x)^2] } / {1 + 2sin(x) + [sin(x)^2] + [cos(x)^2] }

= {2sin(x) + [sin(x)]^2 + [sin(x)]^2 } / { 1 + 2 sin(x) + 1} =

= {2sin(x) + 2 [sin(x)]^2 } / {2 + 2sin(x)} = {2sin(x) ( 1 + sin(x)} / {2(1+sin(x)} =

= sin(x)

Then, working with the first equation, we have proved that [p^2 - 1] / [p^2 + 1] = sin(x), the second equation.

Given the midpoint and one of the endpoints of a line segment, find the other endpoint. Midpoint: (0,3) Endpoint: (6,-3)

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

$(-6,9)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint: (0,3)

Endpoint: (6,-3)

Use the midpoint formula:

$M=(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2} ,\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})$

Since you already have the midpoint and you need an endpoint, let the unknown endpoint be (x,y). Take the midpoint formula apart:

$\frac{x_{1}+x{2}}{2}=m_{x}$

$\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2} =m_{y}$

$m_{x}$ and $m_{y}$ are the coordinates of the midpoint. Enter the known values of the midpoint into the equations:

$(0_{m_{x}},3_{m_{y}})\\\\\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}=0 \\\\\frac{y_{1}+y{2}}{2}=3$

Now enter the known endpoint values:

$(6_{x_{1}},-3_{y_{1}})\\\\\frac{6+x_{2}}{2}=0\\\\\frac{-3+y_{2}}{2}=3$

Solve for x. Multiply both sides by 2:

$2*(\frac{6+x}{2})=2*(0)\\\\6+x=0$

Subtract 6 from both sides:

$6-6+x=0-6\\x=-6$

Now solve for y. Multiply both sides by 2:

$2*(\frac{-3+y}{2})=2*(3)\\\\ -3+y=6$

Add 3 to both sides:

$-3+3+y=6+3\\y=9$

Now take the values of x and y and turn into a point:

$x=-6\\y=9\\(-6,9)$

Finito.
