Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

15 bags for $20 can be represented with 15/20
so x bags for $4 can be represented with x/4

now if you proportion it out (ricochet), 4x15 is 60, 60 divided by 20 is 3, so you can buy 3 bags of potatoes with $4.

OR

you could do 15/20 is 0.75

0.75 times 4 is 3, so $4 can buy you 3 bags.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

This is a proportion problem. It assumes that if you know 3 of the four parts of a 2 ratio proportion, you can solve for the 4th one.

Givens

number of bags = 15

Cost = 20

Different cost = 4

number of bags = ?

Formula

Number of bags / Cost = different number of bags/ New Cost

Solution

15/20 = x / 4              Multiply both sides by 4

15*4/20  = x / 4 * 4

60/20 = x

Answer x = 3

That is 4 dollars gets you 3 bags of potatoes

Expand tge expression

= 8x + 4 -x +4 = 3x + 6

CLT ( Combine like terms)

= 7x + 8 = 3x + 6

Rearrange the terms

7x - 3x = 6 - 8

CLT

4x = -2

Divide both sides by 4

x = -2

g100num [7]

Answer:

The required vector parametric equation is given as:

r(t) = <3cost, 3sint>

For 0 ≤ t ≤ 2π

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

f(x, y) = <2y, -sin(y)>

Since C is a cirlce centered at the origin (0, 0), with radius r = 3, it takes the form

(x - 0)² + (y - 0)² = r²

Which is

x² + y² = 9

Because

cos²β + sin²β = 1

and we want to find a vector parametric equations r(t) for the circle C that starts at the point (3, 0), we can write

x = 3cosβ

y = 3sinβ

So that

x² + y² = 3²cos²β + 3²sin²β

= 9(cos²β + sin²β) = 9

That is

x² + y² = 9

The vector parametric equation r(t) is therefore given as

r(t) = <x(t), y(t)>

= <3cost, 3sint>

For 0 ≤ t ≤ 2π
