$.56 per can; $.49 per can; 5 cans for $2.45

Answers

Answer:

$.56 per can; $.49 per can; 5 cans for $2.45

Step-by-step explanation:

If it were a dollar for two cans, it's pretty easy to figure out each can is 50 cents.  So you use the same idea.  if you have x cans for y dollars, if you divide both numbers by x you get the price of 1 can.

3 cans for 1.68 is 1 can for 1.68/3 = .56 so 56 cents

5 cans for 2.45 is 1 can for 2.45/5 = .49 so 49 cents.

You could use this trick dividing by the price and find how many cans you need to but to pay 1 dollar.

3 cans for 1.68 is 3/1.68 for 1 dollar or 1.786 cans for 1 dollar.  Doesn't make a lot of sense since you can't but part of a can, but I wanted to show you how you could use the logic for other things.

Which of the following exponential functions goes through the points (1, 12) and (2, 36)?

a
f(x) = 4(3)−x

b
f(x) = 3(4)−x

c
f(x) = 3(4)x

d
f(x) = 4(3)x

Answers

Answer:

The function through which given point passes is f(x) = 24 x - 12 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The points are

[tex]x_1[/tex] , [tex]y_1[/tex] = 1 , 12

[tex]x_2[/tex] , [tex]y_2[/tex] = 2 , 36

now, slope of the line

Let The slope of line = m = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Or, m = [tex]\frac{36 - 12}{2-1}[/tex]

Or, m = 24

So The slope of line = m = 24

Now, equation of line in point-slope form

y - [tex]y_1[/tex] = m × (x - [tex]x_1[/tex] )

Or, y - 12 = 24 × (x - 1 )

or, y - 12 = 24 x - 24

or, y = 24 x - 24 + 12

or, y = 24 x - 12

or , f(x) = 24 x - 12

So, The function through which given point passes is f(x) = 24 x - 12 . Answer

A Six Flags theme park charges $30 for adults and $15 for kids. How many adult tickets and kid tickets were sold, if a total of 1,644 tickets were sold for a total of $11,250?

Answers

Answer:

The number of adult tickets sold is 894 and the number of kid tickets is 750.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A Six Flags theme park charges $30 for adults and $15 for kids.

Total of 1,644 tickets were sold.

Total amount of tickets $11,250.

Now, to find the number of adult tickets and kid tickets.

Let the number of kid tickets be [tex]x.[/tex]

And the number of adult tickets be [tex]y.[/tex]

So, the total number of tickets:

[tex]x+y=1644.[/tex].....(1)

Solving the equation we get the value of [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]x=1644-y.[/tex]

Now, the total amount of tickets of adult and kids:

[tex]15x+30y=11250.[/tex]

So, by putting the value of [tex]x[/tex] we get:

[tex]15(1644-y)+30y=11250[/tex]

[tex]24660-15y+30y=11250[/tex]

[tex]24660+15y=11250[/tex]

Subtracting both sides by 24660 we get:

[tex]15y=-13410[/tex]

Dividing both sides by -15 we get:

[tex]y=894[/tex]

Thus number of adult tickets = 894.

Now, putting the value of [tex]y[/tex] in equation (1):

[tex]x+894=1644[/tex]

On solving we get:

[tex]x=1644-894[/tex]

[tex]x=750.[/tex]

So. the number of kid tickets = 750.

Therefore, the number of adult tickets sold is 894 and the number of kid tickets is 750.

Answer: 750

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(x) = 4(x − 11) − 9, determine the value of x such that f(x) = -13.

Answers

Answer:

For x = 10,  the value of the given function f(x)= 4(x − 11) − 9 is -13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is:

f(x) = 4(x − 11) − 9

Now, given: f(x)  = -13

-13  = 4(x − 11) − 9

Now, solving for the value of x, we get:

-13  = 4(x-11) -9

⇒ -13 = 4 x - 44 - 9

or, -13 + 44  + 9 =  4x

or, 4 x = 40

or, x = 40/4 = 10

or, x = 10

Hence, for x = 10,  the value of the given function f(x)= 4(x − 11) − 9 is -13.

Find the value of x for the following system of equations. x + y = 5 x - y = -7 -1 1 -2

Answers

Answer:

x=-1, y=6. (-1, 6).

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=5

x-y=-7

---------

2x=-2

x=-2/2

x=-1

-1+y=5

y=5-(-1)=5+1=6

Answer: (5,20)

Let’s start by rewriting the equations

x+y=5x

-y=-7-11-2

Since the value of y cannot be negative, let’s turn this positive by multiplying each number by -1.

-1 (-y=-7-11-2)

y=7+11+2

Now let’s determine what method we would like to use to solve

When solving a system of equations, you can use one of three methods:

1) Graphing
2) Substitution
3) Elimination

Seeing that we already know how to find y, let’s solve this using the substitution method.

We’re going to start by substituting y into the second equation and solving

x+ 7+11+2=5x

*add 7,11, and 2)

x+20=5x

*subtract x on both sides*

20=4x

*divide both numbers by 4*

5=x

Now that we have x, we have the first number of the ordered pair. It is currently: (5,20)

We found y by adding all the numbers, and found x by solving the equation

A sports shop has 84 employees. 25% of the employees work part-time. How many part-time employees does the sports shop have?

Answers

Answer:

The sports shop has 21 part-time employees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

What is 25% of 84?

.Y is 25% of 84

Equation: Y = P% * X

Solving our equation for Y

Y = P% * X

Y = 25% * 84

Converting percent to decimal:

p = 25%/100 = 0.25

Y = 0.25 * 84

Y = 21

Or another quicker way....

50% is half of the whole, and 25 is half of 50.

84/2/2

equals 21 too, I don't recommend to use it as row form.

The sports shop has 21 part-time employees, found by calculating 25% of 84.

The question asks how many part-time employees a sports shop with 84 employees has if 25% of them work part-time. To find the answer, we need to calculate 25% of 84 employees. The calculation is done as follows:

First, convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100: 25% = 0.25.

Then, multiply the total number of employees by this decimal: 84  times 0.25 = 21.

Therefore, the sports shop has 21 part-time employees.

davis bought some candy for $35. this was seven dollars less than four times what he bought at the movie store. how much did he spend at the movie store

Answers

The amount spent at the movie store is $ 10.5

Solution:

Given that Davis bought some candy for $ 35

This was seven dollars less than four times what he bought at the movie store

Which means that $ 35 is equal to seven dollars less than four times what he bought at the movie store

Let "m" be the amount spent at the movie store

$ 35 = seven dollars less than four times what he bought at the movie store

35 = 4m - 7

35 + 7 = 4m

42 = 4m

m = 10.5

Thus the amount spent at the movie store is $ 10.5

The legs of an iscosceles triangle have lengths 3x-1 and -x +27. The base has length 5x+1. What is the length of the base

Answers

Answer: 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The legs are given to be :

3x - 1 and -x + 27

The base = 5x + 1

One of the properties of an isosceles triangle is that two sides are equal , that is the two legs are equal. This means that

3x - 1 = - x + 27

3x + x = 27 + 1

4x = 28

x = 7

To calculate the length of the base, substitute x = 7 into the length of the base given , that is

Length of the base = 5(7) + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

abs(x-5)=3

x-5=3, x-5=-3

x=3+5=8,

x=-3+5=2

Final answer:

option A.  x=2, x=8

Explanation:

To solve the equation |x-5|=3, we need to consider both cases regarding the absolute value function. The absolute value of an expression is equal to 3 if the expression itself is 3 or -3. Therefore, we have two equations to solve:

x - 5 = 3x - 5 = -3

Solving the first equation:

x = 3 + 5x = 8

Solving the second equation:

x = -3 + 5x = 2

Thus, the solutions for the equation |x-5|=3 are x=2 and x=8, which corresponds to option A.

What does calculus mean​

Answers

Answer:the branch of mathematics that deals with the finding and properties of derivatives and integrals of functions, by methods originally based on the summation of infinitesimal differences. The two main types are differential calculus and integral calculus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Final answer:

Calculus is the mathematics of change, encompassing derivatives and integrals, which are fundamental for solving rates of change and accumulation problems in various fields, including engineering and economics.

Explanation:

Calculus is a branch of mathematics that focuses on the study of change. It is divided into two major areas: differential calculus and integral calculus. Differential calculus deals with the concept of a derivative, which measures how a function changes as its input changes. This can be visualized as the slope of the tangent line to a curve at a given point. Integral calculus, on the other hand, involves the calculation of an integral, which can be thought of as the area under a curve or the accumulation of quantities. Together, these concepts allow us to solve complex problems involving rates of change and accumulation.

Calculus is essential in many fields such as engineering, physics, economics, and even biology. For example, in engineering, calculus is used to model and solve problems related to motion, forces, and energy.

It's important to note that students who do not take calculus in high school can still pursue engineering by taking calculus in their first year of college. The understanding of dimensions and units within calculus also applies to physical quantities, exemplifying the principle that dimensions obey the rules of algebra.

If a student is planning to major in economics, a strong recommendation is to learn at least a little calculus. This math competency greatly facilitates the understanding of advanced economics and helps speed up the learning process, especially in constructing and analyzing algebraic models used to describe economic relationships and functions.

Solve for w, x, y, z

x + 2y - z = 3
2x - y + z - w = -3
y + 2z - w = -7
x + 3y + 2z + 2w = 3 ​

Answers

Answer:

x= 1; y= 0; z= -2 and w= 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

1) x + 2y - z = 3

2) 2x - y + z - w = -3

3) y + 2z - w = -7

4) x + 3y + 2z + 2w = 3 ​

now, from 1) z = x + 2y -3 →→(5)

from 2) w = 2x -y + z +3

         ⇒w = 2x -y + x + 2y -3 +3  (from (5))

            w = 3x + y →→(6)

Now substitute (5) and (6) in 3), we get

y +2(x + 2y -3) - (3x + y) = -7

⇒ 4y - x = -1 →→→(7)

Now substitute (5) and (6) in 4), we get

x + 3y + 2(x + 2y -3) + 2(3x + y) = 3

⇒ 9x +9y = 9

⇒ x + y =1 →→→(8)

⇒ x= 1-y , substituting this in (7) gives 5y -1 = -1

y = 0 and x = 1

substituting these values in

(5) and (6) gives, z = -2 and w = 3

⇒ x= 1; y= 0; z= -2 and w= 3.
