Using system of equations answer this word problem. 1) Scott and Paul are selling Pies for a school fundraiser. Customers can buy apple pies and lemon meringue pies. Scott sold 3 apple pies and 12 lemon meringue pies for a total of 141$. Paul sold 2 apple pies and 5 lemon meringue pies for a total of 64$ What is the cost of each of one apple pie and one lemon meringue pie? (Show your work and tell me how to do it and I'll give you brainlist!)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to come up with a system of equations that models this situation. Let's call apple pies "a" and lemon pies "L". Then we look to each individual involved in selling these pies and come up with an equation for each. Scott sold 3 apple and 12 lemon pies. The combination of this number of these 2 types of pies grossed him $141. In equation form, the combination of this number of these 2 types of pies is an addition thing. Namely,

3a + 12L = 141

For Paul, his combination was 2 apple and 5 lemon for a total of $64. His equation is

2a + 5L = 64

We need to solve this system either by substitution or elimination/addition to come up with the cost of both types of pies. I chose elimination/addition because I think in this case it is easier, and easier is good.

Setting up for elimination/addition:

3a + 12L = 141

2a  + 5L = 64

Let's first eliminate the a terms. That means that the coefficient on each a has to be the same but with different signs. The LCM of both 3 and 2 is 6, so we will multiply the top equation by 2 and the bottom equation by -3 (we could also have chosen to eliminate the L's first; we also could have chosen to eliminate the a's first but made the 2 negative instead of the 3. As long as you do the math correctly, you'll get the same answer regardless of how you choose to do it). Multiplying the first equation by 2 and the second by -3 gives us a new system:

6a + 24L = 282

-6a - 15L = -192

The reason this is called the elimination or addition method is because the goal is to eliminate, but you do that by adding the columns together. As you can see, 6a - 6a eliminates the a terms, right? What you're left with then is

9L = 90 and

L = 10

Now that we know the cost of a lemon pie, we can back sub in to solve for the cost of an apple pie. It doesn't matter which equation you back sub into, as long as it has both an L and an a in it.  I'll choose the first equation we wrote when we took on this nightmare:

3a + 12L = 141.  Subbing in 10 for L gives us

3a + 12(10) = 141 and

3a + 120 = 141 and

3a = 21 so

a = 7

That means that lemon pies cost 10 each and apple pies cost 7 dollars each.

Answers

Answer:

a) 15% b) 10.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

Probability = number of expected outcome/total outcome.

a)Total number of student is the total outcome = 40

Expected number of outcome is the number of students who bought 20 or more books = 6 (number of students who bought 20-24 books)

Probability of those students who bought 20 or more books =  6/40 = 0.15

Expressing as percentage = 0.15 * 100 = 15%

This means that 15% of the total students bought 20 or more books

b) Mean is calculated using the formula [tex]\overline x =\frac{\sum fx}{N}[/tex]

f is the frequency

x is the midpoint of the class interval

N is the total number of students.

Check the attachment for the frequency table.

[tex]\overline x = \frac{410}{40}\\ \overline x = 10.25[/tex]

Mean number of books bought is 10.25

what types of solutions does this equation have?

Answers

Answer:

Two imaginary solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to simplify the equation, we square root both sides. As the argument (value in the root) is negative, and we know that the square root function's domain is only positive numbers, we would have two imaginary solutions.

This would be positive/negative [tex]3i\sqrt{5}[/tex].

Another way to visualize this is by looking at the parabola's graph. Through algebraic manipulation, we know that the parabola is z^2 + 45. This parabola never crosses the x-axis. Therefore there are two solutions that are imaginary.

What is the other zero of the polynomial if one zero of the quadratic polynomial?

Since the given polynomial is a quadratic so it has only two zeros. Let other zero be x. Hence, the other zero is (2 -√3).

What is one zero of the quadratic polynomial?

Polynomials that have only one zero mean both values of the variable are the same. This is the case of equal zeros of a quadratic equation. Let x be the variable of a quadratic equation and both zeroes of the quadratic equation are 2, i.e., equal roots.

I run a book club with $n$ people, not including myself. Every day, for $365$ days, I invite five members in the club to review a book. What is the smallest positive integer $n$ so that I can avoid ever having the exact same group of five members over all $365$ days?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if we have n people and we want to do groups of 5, the total number of different combinations is:

[tex]c = \frac{n!}{(n - 5)!5!}[/tex]

find the smallest n such c > 365.

let's do it by brute force:

if n = 5, we have:

[tex]c = 5C_5 = 5[/tex]

if n = 6

[tex]c =6C_5 =6[/tex]

if n = 7

[tex]c = 7C_ 5= 21[/tex]

if n = 8

[tex]c = 8C_5 = 56[/tex]

if n = 9

[tex]C = 9!/(4!*5!) = 126[/tex]

so 9 is not enough, let's see N = 10

C = 10!/(5!*5!)  = 252

10 is not enough, let's see with 11.

C = 11!/(6!*5!) =  462

So you need at least 11 members in the club.

Then the minimum number of members such we have more than 365 combinations is 11 members

Client need al least 11 members in the club.

Permutation and Combination

According to the question,

Group of five members, the combination will be:

→ [tex]c = \frac{n!}{(n-5)! \ 5!}[/tex]

By using Brute force,

If n = 5,

c = 5,

C₅ = 5

If n = 6,

c = 6,

C₅ = 6

If n = 7,

c = 7,

C₅ = 21

If n = 8,

c = 8,

C₅ = 56

Now,

If n = 9,

→ C = [tex]\frac{9!}{(4!\times 5!)}[/tex]

      = 126

and, If n = 10,

→ C = [tex]\frac{10!}{(5!\times 5!)}[/tex]

      = 252

and, If n = 11,

→ C = [tex]\frac{11!}{(6!\times 5!)}[/tex]

      = 462

Then perhaps the minimal number of individuals required to have more than 365 possible combinations seems to be 11.

Thus the response above is correct.

IS ANYONE GOOD AT CALCULUS? PLEASE HELP!!! The rate at which a certain radioactive isotope decays is given by = negative 0.0032 y, where y is the amount of the isotope after t days. After approximately how many days would the amount of this isotope in a sample reach 75% of its original amount?

Answers

Answer:

90 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

dy/dt = - 0.0032y

dy = -0.0032y dt

dy/y = -0.0032 dt

Integrating:

ln y = -0.0032t + c     where c is some constant

y = e^(-0032t) + e^c

y = A e^(-0032t)   where A is a constant.

At time 0 we can let y = 1 so in that case A = 1

When there is 0.75 of y left:

0.75 = e^-0032t

ln 0,75 =  -0032 t

t = ln 0.75 / -0032

t = 90.

The population of Greenbow, Alabama in 1995 was 200 people. Since then, the population has grown 2% per year. Model this situation with the proper equation and use that equation to predict the population of Greenbow in 2020.

Answers

Answer:

Equation is;

P = I(1 + r)^n

The population is 328

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we want to model the situation and use the modeled equation to predict population.

This follows an exponential pattern with similarity to the amount paid on a compound interest

Mathematically, we can have the equation as;

P = I(1 + r)^n

Where P is the population we want to calculate

I is the initial population in 1995 = 200 people

r is the rate of increase = 2% = 2/100 = 0.02

n is the difference in the number of years = 2020-1995 = 25

Thus the population would be;

P = 200(1 + 0.02)^25

P = 200(1.02)^25

P = 328.12

which is 328 approximately
