Small baskets of tomatoes are sold at a vegetable stand for $3 per basket. Large baskets
of tomatoes are sold at the stand for $5 per basket. Only whole numbers of baskets may be
purchased.
Another customer claims that he can purchase a total of 10 baskets of tomatoes
and pay $45.
B. Use a system of equations that describes this other customer's purchase to
explain why the claim is incorrect.

Answers

Answer 1

hello lol srry I don't know what to do

Answer 2

The customer's claim is incorrect because the value of the number of baskets are in decimal.

What is a system of equation?

A system of equations is a set or collection of equations that you deal with all together at once. For a system to have a unique solution, the number of equations must equal the number of unknowns.

For the given situation,

Let the number of small baskets be x

and the number of large baskets be y

Price of small basket = $3 per basket

Price of large basket = $5 per basket

Number of baskets purchased by customer = $45

The system of equations for the above statements are

[tex]x+y=10[/tex] ------ (1)

[tex]3x+5y=45[/tex] ------ (2)

From 1, [tex]x=10-y[/tex]

Now, substitute x in equation 2,

⇒ [tex]3(10-y)+5y=45[/tex]

⇒ [tex]30-3y+5y=45[/tex]

⇒ [tex]2y=45-30[/tex]

⇒ [tex]2y=15[/tex]

⇒ [tex]y=\frac{15}{2}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]y=7.5[/tex]

Substitute the value of y in equation 1, we get

⇒ [tex]x=10-7.5[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x=2.5[/tex]

Only whole numbers of baskets may be purchased. But the value of x and y are in decimals.

Hence we can conclude that the customer's claim is incorrect because the value of the number of baskets are in decimal.

For f (x) = 3x +1 and g(x) = x2 - 6, find (ff + g)(x).

Answers

Given:

The two functions are

[tex]g(x)=x^2-6[/tex]

To find:

The function (f+g)(x).

Solution:

We know that,

Putting the values of given functions, we  get

[tex](f+g)(x)=3x+1+x^2-6[/tex]

Answer:

  52.0833%

Step-by-step explanation:

The conditional probability formula applies.

  P(2|1) = P(2&1)/P(1)

  P(2|1) = 0.25/0.48 ≈ 0.520833

About 52.0833% of those who passed the first test also passed the second.

Comment on wording

As a fraction rounded to 4 decimal places, the value would be 0.5208 or 52.08%. This seems to ask for the percentage to be rounded to 4 decimal places, so it is 52.0833%.

Answer:

x = 29°

Step-by-step explanation:

If line l is parallel to line m, therefore:

(180° - 130°) + 101° + x° = 180° (angles on a straight line)

50° + 101° + x° = 180°

151° + x° = 180°

x = 180° - 151° (substraction property of equality)

x = 29°

which of the following best describes the quadratic function below ?

Answers

I thinks it’s opens right

Option A is correct, a parent function  best describes the quadratic function.

The quadratic function with a vertex at the origin and opening upward is best described as a parent function.

A parent function is the most basic form of a particular type of function.

In the case of quadratic functions, the parent function is f(x) = x².

It has a vertex at the origin (0, 0) and opens upward.

Therefore, a parent function  best describes the quadratic function.

Width of rectangle J = 6 ft

Length of rectangle J = 9 ft

Width of rectangle K = 9 ft

Length of rectangle K = 12 ft

Find the ratio of their corresponding dimensions:

Ratio of their width = 6/9 = 2/3

Ratio of the length = 9/12 = 3/4

Their ratio of their corresponding dimensions are not equal. That is, their corresponding dimensions are not proportional to each other. Therefore, they are not similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amanda will record 32 names for the five previous generations.

What is a mathematical function, equation and expression?                function : In mathematics, a function from a set X to a set Y assigns to each element of X exactly one element of Y. The set X is called the domain of the function and the set Y is called the codomain of the function.expression : A mathematical expression is made up of terms (constants and variables) separated by mathematical operators.equation : A mathematical equation is used to equate two expressions.

Given is that Amanda is researching her ancestry. She records names and birth dates for her parents, their parents and so on, in an online research tool.

We can write the series as -

               Amanda

     {M}                        {F}

{M}       {F}             {M}       {F}

.

.

so on

We can write the sequence as -

2, 4, 8, ....

It is a geometric sequence. For n = 5, we can write -

a(5) = arⁿ⁻¹

a(5) = 2 x (2)⁴

a(5) = 2⁵

a(5) = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2

a(5) = 32
