Suppose the leader of a camping trip is putting together a trail mix
raisins, and chocolate chips. The mix is to consist of equal parts raisins and chocolate. If
peanuts cost $2/lb, raisins cost $2.50/lb, and chocolate chips cost $4/lb, how much of each
should be mixed to create 20 lbs of trail mix that costs $2.75/lb?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

8 pounds of peanuts, 6 pounds of raisins and 6 pounds of chocolate chips

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of pounds of peanuts and y be the number of pounds of raisins and chocolate chips.

Peanuts cost $2 per pound, then x pounds cost $2x.

Raisins cost $2.50 per pound, then y pounds cost $2.50y.

Chocolate chips cost $4 per pound, then y pounds cost $4y.

In total, x+y+y=20 and those 20 pounds cost

2x+2.50y+4y=20·2.75.

Solve the system of two equations:

[tex]\left \{ {{x+2y=20} \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \atop {2x+6.5y=55}} \right.[/tex]

From the first equation:

[tex]x=20-2y[/tex]

Substitute x into the second equation:

[tex]2(20-2y)+6.5y=55\\ \\40-4y+6.5y=55\\ \\2.5y=15\\ \\25y=150\\ \\y=6\\ \\x=20-2\cdot 6=8[/tex]

Which sequence is modeled by the graph below ?

Answers

Answer:

Geometric Sequence.

[tex]a_{n}=(2)^{n-1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coordinates represent the number of terms of the sequence while the y-coordinates represent the term of the sequence. So the series shown on the graph is:

1, 2, 4, 8

We can see that the ratio of two consecutive terms of the above sequence is constant. i.e.

2/1 = 2

4/2 = 2

8/4 = 2

Such a sequence in which the ratio of two consecutive terms is a constant is known as Geometric Sequence and this constant ratio is known as common ratio.

The general term of a geometric sequence is represented as:

[tex]a_{n}=a_{1}(r)^{n-1}[/tex]

Using the values for the given sequence we get:

[tex]a_{n}=1(2)^{n-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_{n}=(2)^{n-1}[/tex]

Where n represents the number of term.

Step-by-step explanation:

A circle is inscribed a in a square. The side length of the square is X in. If the area of the shaded region is 20 pie, what is the radius of the circle?

Answers

Answer:

8.555 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

So the area of the square is x^2.

This makes that the area of the circle is x^2 - 20 pie.

The radius of the circle is half of the diameter, so it is 0,5x.

The formula for the circle area is:

Area = pie * r^2.

x^2 - 20 pie = pie * (0,5x)^2

x^2 - 20 pie = pie * 0,25x^2

x^2 - pie * 0,25x^2 = 20 pie

x^2 * (1 - 0,25 pie) = 20 pie

x^2 = 20pie / (1 - 0,25 pie)

x = square root (20pie / (1 - 0,25 pie)) = 17.11

So the radius is 0,5 * 17.11 = 8.555 in.

Answers

Answer:

Draw a line across  the points (6,0) and (0,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the equation of a line, so it is enough to find two points (x,y), locate them and draw a straight line passing trough then,

Having said that, lets start.

The first easy point to find is the one that makes y=0, so we have the following equation: 0=-1/2 x +3, which gives that x=6, this point is (6,0)

The other easy point to find is the one that makes x=0, so we have the following equation y=-1/2 * 0 +3, which gives that y=3, this point is (0,3)

We have two points (6,0) and (0,3)

The school record in the long jump is 518 cm which graph represents the set of jump distances in centimeters that would set a new school record

Answers

Answer:

third graph (open circle on 518, colored to the right)

Step-by-step explanation:

The record is 518 cm. That means that 518 cm has already been accomplished. Anything less than 518 cm is not a record. 518 cm is also not a record. Only distances greater than 518 cm are records.

Answer: third graph (open circle on 518, colored to the right)

Answer:

The correct option for the graph is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The school record in the long jump is 518 cm.

Now we need to find the graph represents the set of jump distances in centimeters that would set a new school record.

Here, school already set a record in the long jump i.e 518 cm, it means anything less then or equal to the 518 cm is not a record.

As we need to exclude the numbers 518. So use an open dot at 518.

For record the distances should be greater than 518 cm. Thus, use the arrow moving right to 518.

Hence, the correct option for the graph is C.

A pole is made to lean against a wall. The base of the pole is placed 7 feet
away from the wall. The top of the pole reaches 21 feet up the wall. How long is the pole?

Answers

Final answer:

To find the length of the pole, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

Explanation:

To find the length of the pole, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. Since the base of the pole is 7 feet away from the wall and the top of the pole reaches 21 feet up the wall, we can envision a right triangle with the pole as the hypotenuse. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

Where c is the length of the pole, a is the base length (7 feet), and b is the height reached by the pole (21 feet).

Plugging in the values, we get:

c^2 = 7^2 + 21^2

Solving for c, we find that the length of the pole is √(7^2 + 21^2) feet.

(0,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation you are given is in slope-intercept form, the form y=mx+b.

It is called slope-intercept from because it gives us the slope and the y-intercept.

The slope is m.

The y-intercept is b.

If we compare y=8x+7 to y=mx+b, we should make the conclusion that m=8 and b=7.

This tells the slope is 8 while the y-intercept is 7.

The y-intercept is 7 is sometimes required to be represented by a point.  Since it is the y-intercept, the x is 0 so the point that represents the y-intercept is (0,7).

If the measure of angle CAE is equal to 95 degrees, what is the measurement of line segment CBA??

Answers

Answer: 190°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle CAE is 1/2 times the measure of arc CBA, therefore:

95° x 2=190°

The  measure of arc CBA =190°

To understand the relationship between angle CAE and arc CBA, we need to delve into the properties of angles and arcs in circles. Here is a step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Understanding Inscribed Angles

In a circle, an inscribed angle is an angle formed by two chords that intersect on the circle. The measure of an inscribed angle is always half the measure of the intercepted arc.

Step 2: Relationship between Angle CAE and Arc CBA

Given:

- Angle CAE is inscribed in the circle.

- Arc CBA is the intercepted arc for angle CAE.

According to the properties of inscribed angles:

[tex]\[ \text{Measure of Angle CAE} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Measure of Arc CBA} \][/tex]

Step 3: Using the Given Information

Let's denote:

[tex]- \( \angle CAE \)[/tex] as the measure of angle CAE.

[tex]- \( \text{Arc CBA} \)[/tex] as the measure of arc CBA.

From the given information, the measure of arc CBA is 95°. Using the inscribed angle property:

[tex]\[ \angle CAE = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Arc CBA} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \angle CAE = \frac{1}{2} \times 95^\circ \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \angle CAE = 47.5^\circ \][/tex]

However, if we are interpreting the problem differently and consider that angle CAE is given as 95°, and we need to find the measure of the arc intercepted by this angle when doubled, then we would calculate:

[tex]\[ \text{Arc CBA} = 2 \times \angle CAE \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Arc CBA} = 2 \times 95^\circ \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Arc CBA} = 190^\circ \][/tex]

Therefore, if angle CAE is half the measure of arc CBA, and given the angle CAE as 95°:

[tex]\[ \text{Arc CBA} = 2 \times 95^\circ = 190^\circ \][/tex]

This shows that the measure of arc CBA is 190°.

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

All the equations are one-step equations.

In each case, see what operation is being done to the variable, and do the opposite operation to both sides.

1.

t + 1.32 = 3.48

1.32 is being added to t.

Subtract 1.32 from both sides.

t + 1.32 - 1.32 = 3.48 - 1.32

t = 2.16

2.

b - 4.22 = 7.08

4.22 is being subtracted from b.

Add 4.22 to both sides.

b - 4.22 + 4.22 = 7.08 + 4.22

b = 11.3

4.

h + 4/9 = 7/9

4/9 is being added to h.

Subtract 4/9 from both sides.

h + 4/9 - 4/9 = 7/9 - 4/9

h = 3/9

h = 1/3

5.

-5/8 = x - 1/4

1/4 is being subtracted from x.

Add 1/4 to both sides.

-5/8 + 1/4 = x - 1/4 + 1/4

-5/8 + 2/8 = x

-3/8 = x

x = -3/8

7.

3.2c = 9.6

c is being multiplied by 3.2.

Divide both sides by 3.2.

3.2c/3.2 = 9.6/3.2

c = 3

8.

-5.04 = 1.26d

c is being multiplied by 1.26.

Divide both sides by 1.26.

-5.04/1.26 = 1.26d/1.26

-4 = d

d = -4

10.

-2/3 = 3/4t

t is being multiplied by 3/4.

Divide both sides by 3/4 which is the same as multiplying both sides by 4/3.

-2/3 * 4/3 = 3/4t * 4/3

-8/9 = t

t = -8/9

11.

w/2.5 = 4.2

w is being divided by 2.5.

Multiply both sides by 2.5.

w/2.5 * 2.5 = 4.2 * 2.5

w = 10.5

what is the solution to y = x + 2 and y = 3x – 2 and how do you know? PLEASE HELPPPPP! THANK U!

Answers

Answer:

(2,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the system:

y=x+2

y=3x-2.

This is already setup for substitution.

I'm going to replace my first y with what the second y equals.

That is, I'm going to write 3x-2=x+2.

Time to solve the following for x:

3x-2=x+2

Subtract x on both sides:

2x-2= 2

Add 2 on both sides:

2x. = 4

Divide both sides by 2:

x. = 2

Now that we know x=2 and we have an equation that relates x to y: either y=x+2 or y=3x-2, doesn't matter which we use, we can find y.

So we y=x+2 with x=2 which means y=2+2=4.

So the solution, the intersection, is (2,4).

Answer:

(2, 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = x + 2 → (1)

y = 3x - 2 → (2)

Substitute y = 3x - 2 into (1)

3x - 2 = x + 2 ( subtract x from both sides )

2x - 2 = 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into (1) for the corresponding value of y

y = x + 2 = 2 + 2 = 4

As a check

Substitute x = 2 into the 2 equations and check validity

(1) → y = 2 + 2 = 4 ← Correct

(2) → y = (3 × 2) - 2 = 6 - 2 = 4 ← Correct

Solution is (2, 4 )

Which value of b in an exponential function will result in the percent rate of change given? 23% decrease b = 8% increase b = 15% decrease b = 120% increase b =

Answers

Answer:

Given an exponential function of the form

y = a*(b)^x

The values of b that will result in the desired percentage values are:

Case 1

b = 23% decrease

1 - 0.23 = 0.77

y = a*(0.77)^x

Case 2

b = 8% increase

1 + 0.08 = 1.08

y = a*(1.08)^x

Case 3

b = 15% decrease

1 - 0.15= 0.85

y = a*(0.85)^x

Case 4

b = 120% increase

1 + 1.2 = 2.2

y = a*(2.2)^x

See attached picture for examples

The value of b in an exponential function is calculated as : For a 23% decrease = 0.77, For an 8% increase = 1.08, For a 15% decrease = 0.85, For a 120% increase = 2.20.

The student is trying to determine the corresponding exponential function base value (b) for a given percent rate of change.

In an exponential function y = abx, a positive b models exponential growth, while a value of b less than 1 models exponential decay.

We can convert the percent increase or decrease to a decimal and then add or subtract it from 1 to find the corresponding value of b.

For a 23% decrease, b = 1 - 0.23 = 0.77.

For an 8% increase, b = 1 + 0.08 = 1.08.

For a 15% decrease, b = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85.

For a 120% increase, b = 1 + 1.20 = 2.20.
