Answers

The system of equations best represents the number of apples a and the number of garonia bars g be a+b=60, 0.75x+0.15y=21.

Given that cost of 1 apple is $0.75, cost of 1 gargonia bars be $0.15 ,total things are 60 and total money paid be $21.

Equation is relationship between two or more variables expressed in equal to form. Equation of two variables look like ax+by=c. It may be a linear equation,quadratic equation, cubic equation.

Because we have been told that there are 60 total things and a represents the number of apples and g represents number of garonia represents the number of garonia bars.

a+b=60--------1

Money paid by consumers is cost per units*number of units

So,

0.75a+0.15b=21

Answers

We would reach our office by 7:34 a.m.

How to find the time that we would take to travel from our house to the office?

The average speed is given as 30 miles per hour.

Let us convert this into miles per minute.

30 miles/1 hour = 30 miles/60 minutes

The distance between the house and the office is 12 miles.

Therefore, we can find what it would take to reach the office by dividing the distance by the average speed:

Time taken = distance/average speed

= 12 miles/0.5 miles per minute

= 24 minutes

Answers

The value of A has been illustrated, computed and proven based in the triangle given.

How to calculate the triangle?

It should be noted that that a triangle is a shape that has three sides and the value of the addition of all the angles are equal to 180°.

Based on the information that's given, it should be noted that the value of angle A, angle B, and angle C will be equal to 180°.

In this case, the following can be deduced:

A = 5x

B = 90°

C = x + 10°

Therefore, A + B + C = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)

5x + 90 + x + 10 = 180°

6x = 180° - 90° - 10°

6x = 80°

x = 80/6

x = 13 1/3

Therefore, the value of A will be:

= 5x

= 5 × 13 1/3

= 66 2/3

Therefore, A is 66 2/3.

What is the graph of a parabolic equation?

The graph of a parabolic equation is a curved U-shape graph from where the domain, the range, x-intercept(s), and the y-intercept(s) can be determined.

Given that:

f(x) = -x² + 3x + 5

g(x) = x² + 2x

To find (f + g)(x), we have:

(f + g)(x) = (-x² + 3x + 5)+(x² + 2x)

(f + g)(x) = -x² + 3x + 5 +x² + 2x

(f + g)(x) = 3x + 2x + 5

(f + g)(x) = 5x + 5

Use the Slope-intercept form: We are to find the graph of y = 5x + 5

y = 5x + 5

Here:

Slope = 5 x-intercept = (-1, 0)y-intercept = (0,5)

Find the maximum or minimum value of the product of two numbers whose difference is 14.

Answers

The maximum value of the product of two number whose difference is 14 is 49.

What is the maximum or minimum value of a function?

The maximum or minimum value of a function is the highest or lowest value of that function.

How to determine the maximum or minimum of the product of two numbers?

Let the numbers be x and y

Their product f(x,y) = xy

Since their difference is 14, x - y = 14

So, x = 14 - y

Substituting x into f(x,y), we have

f(x,y) = xy

= (14 - y)y

= 14y - y²

To find the maximum or minimum value of f(x,y) we differentiate it with respect to y and equate to zero.

So, f(x,y) = f(y) = 14y - y²

df(y)/dy = d(14y - y²)/dy

df(y)/dy = d(14y)/dy - dy²/dy

df(y)/dy = 14 - 2y

Equating to zero, we have

df(y)/dy = 0

14 - 2y = 0

14 = 2y

y = 14/2

y = 7

To determine if this gives a maximum or minimum for f(y) = f(x,y), we differentiate f'(y) again

So, df'(y)/dy = d(14 - 2y)/dy

= d14/dy + d(-2y)/dy

= 0 - 2

= -2 < 0.

Since f"(y) = -2 < 0, then y = 7 gives a maximum for f(x,y)

So, since y = 7,

x = 14 - y = 14 - 7 = 7

So, f(x,y) is maximum at x = 7 and y = 7

So, f(7,7) = 7 × 7

= 49

So, the maximum value of the product of two number whose difference is 14 is 49.

A kernel function is a way for taking input data and transforming it into the needed form of processing data.

The term "kernel" refers to a collection of mathematical functions used in Support Vector Machine to provide a window to alter data.

What is the solution deriving the expression given above?

Given x = [x₁, x₂][tex]^{T}[/tex]

β(x) = [x²₁, √2 x₁ x₂, x²₂]

K (x₁, x') = β(x)[tex]^{T}[/tex] β(x')[tex]^{T}[/tex]

Hence, X' =  [x₁, x₂][tex]^{T}[/tex]

→ β(x') = [x'²₁, √2 x'₁ x'₂, x'²₂]

K (x, x') = [x²₁, √2 x₁ x₂, x²₂][tex]^{T}[/tex]  [x'²₁, √2 x'₁ x'₂, x'²₂]

K (x, x') = [x²₁, [x'²₁ + 2x₁ x₂ x'₁ x'₂ + x²₂ x'²₂

Because Z = x · x' (dot product of x·x')

= x₁ x'₁ + x₂x₂'

Expressing K (x,x') as a function of Z, we have

K (x₁, x') =  x²₁ x'²₁ + 2x₁x₂ x'₁ x'² + x²₂ x'²₂

Simplified, we have

(x₁ x₁¹ + x₂x¹₂)² =  Z²; and
