A plant costs p dollars and a bush costs b dollars. Ana buys 2 plants and 4 bushes for $42. Paola buys 7 plants and 9 bushes for $107. Write down a pair of simultaneous equations and solve them to find out the value of p and the value of b.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

p = 5 and b = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, create a system of equations:

2p + 4b = 42

7p + 9b = 107

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -7 and the bottom equation by 2:

-14p - 28b = -294

14p + 18b = 214

Add these together, and solve for b:

-10b = -80

b = 8

Plug in 8 as b into one of the equations, and solve for p:

2p + 4b = 42

2p + 4(8) = 42

2p + 32 = 42

2p = 10

p = 5

So, p = 5 and b = 8

Answer 2

Answer:

p = 5 and b =8

Step-by-step explanation:

2p + 4b = 42

2p = 42 - 4b

p = 21 - 2b

7p + 9b = 107

7 (21 - 2b) + 9b = 107

147 - 14b + 9b = 107

147 - 5b = 107

-5b = -40

b = 8

2p + 4 * 8 = 42

2p + 32 = 42

2p = 10

p = 5

Answer:

The y-value of Function A when x = 2 is GREATER than the y-value of Function B when x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Find the equation of Function A:

To do this, find the y-intercept (b) and slope (m):

Slope (m) = change in y/change in x

Using (4, 13) and (5, 17),

Slope (m) = (17 - 13)/(5 - 4) = 4/1

m = 4

To find b, substitute (x, y) = (4, 13) and m = 4 into y = mx + b

13 = 4(4) + b

13 = 16 + b

13 - 16 = b

b = -3

To write the equation for Function A, substitute m = 4 and b = -3 into y = mx + b

Thus:

y = 4x - 3

Next, find the y-value of Function A when x = 2 by substituting x = 2 into y = 4x - 3

Thus:

y = 4(2) - 3

y = 8 - 3

y = 5

✅The y-value of Function A when x = 2 is 5

✔️Equation for Function B is given as,

y = ½x + 1

Find the y-value of Function B when x = 2 by substituting x = 2 into y = ½x + 1

Thus:

y = ½(2) + 1

y = 1 + 1

y = 2

✅The y-value of Function B when x = 2 is 2

Therefore, the correct statement is:

The y-value of Function A when x = 2 is greater than the y-value of Function B when x = 2

Given:

[tex]\cos \theta =\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\sin \theta <0[/tex]

To find:

The quadrant of the terminal side of [tex]\theta[/tex] and find the value of [tex]\sin\theta[/tex].

Solution:

We know that,

In Quadrant I, all trigonometric ratios are positive.

In Quadrant II: Only sin and cosec are positive.

In Quadrant III: Only tan and cot are positive.

In Quadrant IV: Only cos and sec are positive.

It is given that,

[tex]\cos \theta =\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\sin \theta <0[/tex]

Here cos is positive and sine is negative. So, [tex]\theta [/tex] must be lies in Quadrant IV.

We know that,

[tex]\sin^2\theta +\cos^2\theta =1[/tex]

[tex]\sin^2\theta=1-\cos^2\theta[/tex]

[tex]\sin \theta=\pm \sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta}[/tex]

It is only negative because [tex]\theta [/tex] lies in Quadrant IV. So,

[tex]\sin \theta=-\sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta}[/tex]

After substituting [tex]\cos \theta =\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex], we get

[tex]\sin \theta=-\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{3}{5})^2}[/tex]

[tex]\sin \theta=-\sqrt{1-\dfrac{9}{25}}[/tex]

[tex]\sin \theta=-\sqrt{\dfrac{25-9}{25}}[/tex]

[tex]\sin \theta=-\sqrt{\dfrac{16}{25}}[/tex]

[tex]\sin \theta=-\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Write the equation for a parabola with a focus at (-4,-2) and a directrix at y = 3.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle y=-\frac{1}{10}x^2-\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{11}{10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, any point (x, y) on the parabola is equidistant from the focus and the directrix.

The distance between a point (x, y) on the parabola and the focus can be described using the distance formula:

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x-(-4))^2+(y-(-2))^2[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x+4)^2+(y+2)^2}[/tex]

Since the directrix is an equation of y, we will use the y-coordinate. The vertical distance between a point (x, y) on the parabola and the directrix can be described using absolute value:

[tex]d=|y-3|\text{ or } |3-y|[/tex]

The two equations are equivalent. Therefore:

[tex]\sqrt{(x+4)^2+(y+2)^2}=|y-3|[/tex]

Solve for y. We can square both sides. Since anything squared is positive, we can remove the absolute value:

[tex](x+4)^2+(y+2)^2 = (y-3)^2[/tex]

Expand:

[tex](x^2+8x+16)+(y^2+4y+4)=(y^2-6y+9)[/tex]

Isolate:

[tex]x^2+8x+11=-10y[/tex]

Divide both sides by -10. Hence, our equation is:

[tex]\displaystyle y=-\frac{1}{10}x^2-\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{11}{10}[/tex]

0.89 m is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

the wall, the ground and portion of pipe form a right angle triangle with pipe portion being the hypotenuse.

for a right triangle

[tex]{hypotenuse}^{2} = {base}^{2} + {height}^{2} [/tex]

here we have base = 3m and height = 2m.

thus
