Answer:

10.06 lbs of peanuts and 19.94 lbs of hazelnuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

lb=pound

30 lb mixture at $6.43/lb means that the total cost of the mixture is 30×6.43=192.9

Let H = weight of hazelnuts in the mixture.

Let P = weight of the peanuts in the mixture.

Set up a system of equations.

7H + 6.43P = 192.9

H + P = 30

Afterward, input the values into the equations above.

H = 30 - P

7(30-P) + 5.3P = 192.9

210 - 7P + 5.3P = 192.9

210 - 1.7P = 192.9

-1.7P + 210 = 192.9

-1.7P = 192.9 - 210

-1.7P = -17.1

P = -17.1 / -1.7 = 10.06

H = 30 - P = 30 - 10.06 = 19.94

Hence, the mixture contains 10.06 lbs of peanuts and 19.94 lbs of hazelnuts. Hope this helps and have a great day!

If you answer this, i might give you 3 extra points (:

Jewelery maker has
24 jade beads
30 teak Beads
So we need to find the highest common factor for both 24 and 30
The factors for both numbers are
24 -1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24
30 - 1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30
The highest common factor for both is 6
The greatest number of necklaces she can make is 6
Number of jade beads - 24/6 = 4 jade beads
Number of teak beads - 30/6 = 5 teak beads
So each necklace will have 4 jade beads and 5 teak beads

Describe the translation of the function from the parent function f(x) = x².

kkurt [141]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{function transformations}
\\ \quad \\\\

\begin{array}{rllll} 
% left side templates
f(x)=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
y=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}}\sqrt{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}}(\mathbb{R})^{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}} sin\left({{ B }}x+{{ C}} \right)+{{ D}}
\end{array}$

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}
% right side info
\bullet \textit{ stretches or shrinks horizontally by } {{ A}}\cdot {{ B}}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ flips it upside-down if }{{ A}}\textit{ is negative}
\\\\

\end{array}\\$

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}
\bullet \textit{ horizontal shift by }\frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is negative, to the right}\\\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is positive, to the left}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ vertical shift by }{{ D}}\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is negative, downwards}\\\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is positive, upwards}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ period of }\frac{2\pi }{{{ B}}}
\end{array}
$

now, notice the template above... now let's see your function $\bf y=x^2+4\implies 
\begin{array}{llllll}
y=&1(&1x&+&0)^2+&4\\
&A&B&&C&D
\end{array}$

so.. what do you think was the shift then?

Use the functions a(x) = 3x + 10 and b(x) = 2x − 8 to complete the function operations listed below.

Gnoma [55]

For part A, you simply add the two functions a(x) and b(x). The resulting function is then (a+b)(x) = 5x +2.

For part B, you multiply the functions a(x) and b(x). Using the FOIL method, we obtain, 6x^2 -24x + 20x - 80. Simplifying, we get, (a*b)(x) = 6x^2 -4x - 80.

For part C, you replace x in the function a(x) with the expression from b(x). This results to: a[b(x)] = 3(2x - 8) +10. Simplifying, a[b(x)] = 6x - 14.
