At a local store, 2 bagels and 2 cups of coffee cost $4.40. The cost of 3 bagels and 4 cups of coffee is $7.80.



Write a system of equations to represent this situation, where x
is the number of bagels and y
is the number of cups of coffee.

Answer:

(x-5)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

the value of the function g(f(x)) at x = 1 will be g(f(1)) =  12.

A relationship between a group of inputs and one output is referred to as a function. In plain English, a function is an association between inputs in which each input is connected to precisely one output. A domain, codomain, or range exists for every function. Typically, f(x), where x is the input, is used to represent a function.

Given, Two functions f(x) = x - 4 and g(x) = -5x - 3

So,

g(f(x)) = -5 f(x) -3

g(f(x)) = -5( x -4) -3

g(f(x)) =  - 5x +20 -3

g(f(x)) =  -5x +17

the value of g(f(x)) at x = 1

g(f(1)) = -5 * 1 + 17

g(f(1)) =  12

therefore, the value of the function g(f(x)) at x = 1 will be g(f(1)) =  12.

Andre walks more steps than Priya

An equation is the equality between two algebraic expressions, which have at least one unknown or variable.

To solve this problem, we have to state the equation using the information of the problem:

Calculating Andre's steps we have:

y(Andre) = 6000 steps/50 minutes

y(Andre) = 120 steps/ minute

If the total of hours is 5 hours we convert hours to minutes and we have:

5 hours * (60 minutes/ 1 hours) = 300 minutes

Andre's steps in 300 minutes are:

y(Andre) = 120 steps/ minute * 300 minutes

y(Andre) = 36000 steps

Now we calculate the steps of Pria with the equation given:

y=118x

y(Pria) = 118*300

y(Pria) = 35400 steps

36000 steps > 35400 steps

The figure on the left illustrates a society that produces more capital goods than consumer goods, as indicated by a Total Value of Goods difference of $200.

The figure on the left illustrates a society that produces more capital goods than consumer goods. This is because the total value of the capital goods is greater than the total value of the consumer goods. This can be calculated using the formula Total Value of Goods (TVG) = Price of Goods x Quantity of Goods. By using this formula we can calculate that the TVG of the capital goods is $400 (20 x 20) and the TVG of the consumer goods is $200 (10 x 20). The difference between the two is $200, indicating that the society is producing more capital goods than consumer goods.

Answer:

I'm sorry, but without additional information such as the magnitude, direction, and orientation of the two forces, it is impossible to determine the magnitude of the resultant.

a) The proportion of observations, P(z < -0.67) = 0.2514.

b) The proportion of observations, P(z > -0.67) = 0.7486.

c) The proportion of observations, P(z < 1.46) = 0.9279.

d) The proportion of observations, P(-0.67< z < 1.46) = 0.6765.

A z-table, or standard normal table, helps to reveals what percentage of values fall below a certain z-score in a normal distribution. We have a standard normal table present above .

a) P( z < -0.67 )

Split -0.67 such as (-0.6 + 0.07 ) and look -0.6 in first column and 0.07 in first row then look cross value. So, P( z < -0.67 )

= 0.2514

b) P( z > - 0.67 ) = 1 - P( z < -0.67 )

From part (a ) , P( z < -0.67 ) = 0.2514

So, P( z > - 0.67 ) = 1 - 0.2514 = 0.7486

=> P( z > - 0.67 ) = 0.7486

c ) P( z < 1.46 ) = 1 - P( z < -1.46 )

Using Table, P( z < -1.46 ) is,

=> P( z < -1.46 ) = 0.0721

So, P( z < 1.46 ) = 1 - 0.0721 = 0.9279

=> P( z < 1.46 ) = 0.9279

d) P(-0.67 < z < 1.46 ) = P( z < 1.46) - P( z < -0.67 ) from part( a) , P( z < -0.67 ) = 0.2514

and from par (c) , P( z < 1.46 ) = 0.9279

So, P(-0.67 < z < 1.46 ) = 0.9279 - 0.2514

= 0.6765

=> P(-0.67 < z < 1.46 ) = 0.6765

Hence, all the required proportion are determined.

The numerical value of cosh(7) is 25.78543.

The  hyperbolic cosine function, cosh(x), is the inverse of the hyperbolic sine function, sinh(x). It is defined as the sum of the series cosh(x) = 1 + x²/2! + x⁴/4! + x⁶/6! + …, where x is any real number and n! is the factorial of n.

To find the numerical value of cosh(7), we need to evaluate the series at x = 7. To do this, we start by calculating the first two terms of the series, 1 and 7²/2!. The first term is 1, and the second term is 7²/2! = 49/2 = 24.5. Then we add them together to get the result cosh(7) = 25.5.

To get a more accurate result, we can add more terms to the series. For instance, by adding the third term, 7⁴/4!, we get cosh(7) = 25.5 + 585/24 = 25.70833. We can continue this process to get an even more accurate result.

After adding the sixth term, 7⁶/6!, we get cosh(7) = 25.70833 + 90090/720 = 25.78542.

Finally, we round the result to five decimal places to get cosh(7) = 25.78542 ≈ 25.78543.

The distance between two points in three-dimensional space is a measure of the separation between the two points. In this case, the two points are the center of a sphere and a point that the sphere passes through.

To find the distance, we can use the distance formula in three dimensions, which is an extension of the distance formula in two dimensions. The distance formula is:

d = √((x1 - x2)^2 + (y1 - y2)^2 + (z1 - z2)^2)

where (x1, y1, z1) is the center of the sphere and (x2, y2, z2) is the point that the sphere passes through. The square root of the sum of the squares of the differences between the corresponding coordinates gives the distance between the two points.

In this problem, the center of the sphere is not given, so it is not possible to calculate the distance between the sphere and the point. The center of the sphere is a crucial piece of information needed to solve this problem.

No; the coefficient shows that as a percentage of the mean, the quarter-milers' times show more variability.

To summarize the variability in the data, we can calculate the standard deviation and the coefficient of variation for both the quarter-mile and mile runners.

Standard deviation:

Quarter-mile times:

mean = (0.92 + 0.96 + 1.04 + 0.93 + 1.00) / 5 = 0.97

differences from mean = [0.92 - 0.97, 0.96 - 0.97, 1.04 - 0.97, 0.93 - 0.97, 1.00 - 0.97] = [-0.05, -0.01, 0.07, -0.04, 0.03]

squared differences = [0.0025, 0.0001, 0.0049, 0.0016, 0.0009]

sum of squared differences = 0.01

standard deviation = √(sum of squared differences / (number of data points - 1)) = sqrt(0.01 / 4) = 0.049

Mile times:

mean = (4.52 + 4.35 + 4.60 + 4.71 + 4.51) / 5 = 4.56

differences from mean = [4.52 - 4.56, 4.35 - 4.56, 4.60 - 4.56, 4.71 - 4.56, 4.51 - 4.56] = [-0.04, -0.21, 0.04, 0.15, -0.05]

squared differences = [0.0016, 0.0441, 0.0016, 0.0225, 0.0025]

sum of squared differences = 0.0727

standard deviation = √(sum of squared differences / (number of data points - 1)) = sqrt(0.0727 / 4) = 0.139

Coefficient of variation:

Quarter-mile times: coefficient of variation = standard deviation / mean = 0.049 / 0.97 = 0.051 (to 2 decimal places)

Mile times: coefficient of variation = standard deviation / mean = 0.139 / 4.56 = 0.0305 (to 4 decimal places)

The use of the coefficient of variation indicates that the coach's statement should be qualified. The coefficient shows that as a percentage of the mean, the mile runners' times have less variability (3.05%) compared to the quarter-mile runners' times (5.1%). So, the answer is (ii) no; the coefficient shows that as a percentage of the mean, the quarter-milers' times show more variability.

The amount the women would pay for 2.4 kg of chicken and 2 kg of meat in total is $15.2

The meaning of unit price is a price quoted in terms of so much per agreed or standard unit of product or service

Given that, a woman bought 1.8 kg of chicken and 1.6 kg of meat. The chicken cost $5.40 and the meat cost $6.40,

We need to find, if she had bought 2.4 kg of chicken and 2 kg of meat, how much would she have had to pay,

To find the same, we will first find the unit price of each,

Unit price = total price / total quantity

Since, 1.8 kg of chicken costs $5.40,

Therefore, 1 kg will cost = 5.40 / 1.8 = $3

Similarly,

If 1.6 kg of meat costs $6.40,

Therefore, 1 kg will cost = 6.40 / 1.6 = $4

Now, to find the cost of 2.4 kg of chicken and 2 kg of meat, we will multiply the unit prices to the required quantities,

Therefore,

2.4 kg of chicken will cost = 2.4 x 3 = $7.2

2 kg of meat will cost = 2 x 4 = $8

In total, she had to pay = 8+7.2 = $15.2

The solution of the initial value problem is y = -3x/(3㏑x - 1)

An initial value problem is a differential equation in which the initial value of the function is given.

Now we have the initial value problem

y' = (xy + y²)/x² , y(1) = 3.

We notice that it is a homogeneous differential equation.

A homogeneous differential equation is a differential equation in which the powers of x and y are the same.

So, we proceed to solve the equation as folows.

Let y = vx.

So,

y/x = v and

dy/dx = xdv/dx + v

We now substitute these into the differential equation, we have that

y' = (xy + y²)/x²

dy/dx = (xy/x² + y²/x²

xdv/dx + v = y/x + (y/x)²

xdv/dx + v = v + v²

xdv/dx = v²

So using the method of separation of variables, we have

dv/v² = dx/x

Thus Integrating both sides, we have

∫dv/v² = ∫dx/x

-v⁻¹ = ㏑x + C

-1/v = ㏑x + C

We now substitute v = y/x into the equation, we have

- 1/y/x = ㏑x + C

-x/y = ㏑x + C

So, making y subject of the formula, we have

y = -x/(㏑x + C)

Since y(1) = 3, we have

3 = -1/(㏑1 + C)

3 = -1/(0 + C)

3 = -1/C

C = -1/3

So, y = -x/(㏑x + (-1/3))

y = -x/(㏑x - 1/3)

y = -x/(3㏑x - 1)/3

y = -3x/(3㏑x - 1)

So, the solution is y = -3x/(3㏑x - 1)

A straight line can be drawn through all the points, and the line passes through the origin.

When two variables are proportional, the ratio of their values remains constant. A graph of paired points that form a proportional relationship will show a straight line when plotted on a graph. The position of the line on the graph will depend on the constant of proportionality, which determines the slope of the line. If the constant of proportionality is positive, then the line will slope upwards, and if the constant of proportionality is negative, the line will slope downwards. If the line passes through the origin, it means that when one variable is zero, the other variable is also zero. This is referred to as an "origin-centered proportional relationship." In this case, the line passes through the point (0, 0), which is the origin. If the line does not pass through the origin, it means that there is a non-zero intercept, and that the relationship between the variables is not centered on the origin. In this case, the line will have a non-zero y-intercept, which is the value of the second variable when the first variable is zero.

In conclusion, the statement "a straight line can be drawn through all the points, and the line passes through the origin" best describes a graph of paired points that form a proportional relationship centered on the origin.

If intersection of A & B null set and P(A) = 0.4, P(A ∪ B) = 0.9 then P(B) = 0.5

In mathematics, a set is a collection of distinct objects, called elements, which can be anything from numbers, to letters, to functions, or even other sets. The objects in a set are unordered, meaning their position or arrangement doesn't matter. Sets are often denoted using curly braces {} and the elements within the set are separated by commas.

For example, the set of positive even numbers less than 10 can be written as {2, 4, 6, 8}.

Given that,

P(A) = 0.4,

P(A ∪ B) = 0.9,

P(B) = ?

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

In linear function, 2027 is  the year in which the population will reach 15,000.

What is another name for a linear function?

A linear function, also known as a polynomial function of degree zero or one, is a function in calculus and related fields that has a graph that is a straight line.

                        The phrase "affine function" is frequently used to distinguish such a linear function from the other idea.

Let linear function

Since 2004

In 2004, t=0  ,P=6200

6200=a(0)+b

b=6200

In 2009, t=5 ,P =8100

8100=5a+6200

5a=8100-6200

The ratio of bp to cp in equilateral triangle abc, with a on circle omega(Ω), bc tangent to circle omega(Ω), and p being the intersection of ao and bc, is [tex]\frac{2}{\sqrt{3} }[/tex].

Let's label the center of the larger circle omega(Ω) as O, and the center of the smaller circle gamma(Γ)as G. Draw a perpendicular from O to the line containing side overline{BC}, and label the intersection point as X. By tangency, GX is a radius of gamma(Γ), so GX = 17.

Also, $\overline{OX} = 20. By the Pythagorean Theorem, OP = [tex]\sqrt{OX^{2} -PX^{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{20^{2}-17^{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{289}[/tex]. Let BP = x. Then CP = [tex]\frac{BC}{2} -x[/tex] = [tex]\frac{BC}{2} -x[/tex] = [tex]\frac{BC-2x}{2}[/tex]. Therefore, [tex]\frac{BP}{CP}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{\frac{BC-2x}{2} }[/tex]= [tex]\frac{2x}{BC-2x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2x}{BC}[/tex].

To find BC, we use the fact that ΔABC$ is equilateral. Therefore, AO = BO = CO = 20. Let's apply the Law of Cosines to triangle ABO:

[tex]AB^{2} =AO^{2} +BO^{2} -2.AO.BO.cosA[/tex]

[tex]AB^{2} =20^{2} +20^{2} -2.20.20.cos(60)[/tex]

[tex]AB^{2} =800[/tex]

[tex]AB=\sqrt{800} =20\sqrt{2}[/tex].

Therefore, [tex]BC=AB=20\sqrt{2}[/tex], and [tex]\frac{BP}{CP} =\frac{2x}{BC}=\frac{2x}{20\sqrt{2} }[/tex].
