Answer:

A. 5c + 1.25 = 8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Where c is cost of one cookie

5c + 1.25 = 8.75

Subtract 1.25 from both sides

5c + 1.25 - 1.25 = 8.75 - 1.25

5c = 7.5

Divide both sides by 5

c = 7.5/5

c = 1.5

= $1.5

One cookie cost $1.5

Geoffrey is evaluating the expression StartFraction (negative 3) cubed (2 Superscript 6 Baseline) Over (Negative 3) Superscript

makkiz [27]

The mathematical expression does not seem clear but I have made an attempt to make sense of what is implied.

Answer:

<em>a</em> = 4, <em>b</em> = 2, <em>c</em> = 16, <em>d</em> = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{(-3)^3(2^6)}{(-3)^5(2^2)} = \dfrac{(2)^a}{(-3)^b} = \dfrac{c}{d}$

Solving the first part of the question by indices,

$\dfrac{(-3)^3(2^6)}{(-3)^5(2^2)} = (-3)^{3-5}(2)^{6-2} = (-3)^{-2}(2)^{4} = \dfrac{(2)^4}{(-3)^2}$

Comparing the rightmost term with the second term in the question,

<em>a</em> = 4, <em>b</em> = 2

Solving on,

$\dfrac{(2)^4}{(-3)^2} = \dfrac{(2)\times(2)\times(2)\times(2)}{(-3)\times(-3)} = \dfrac{16}{9}$

Comparing with the final term in the question,

<em>c</em> = 16 and <em>d</em> = 9

Therefore,

<em>a</em> = 4, <em>b</em> = 2, <em>c</em> = 16, <em>d</em> = 9

you are buying a new printer and a new scanner for your computer and you cannot spend over $150. The printer you want costs $80.

ira [324]

It is given in the question that

You are buying a new printer and a new scanner for your computer and you cannot spend over $150. The printer you want costs $80.

Let the price of scanner be $ x .

So we have

$x+ 80\leq 150$

Subtracting 80 from both sides

$x\leq 70$

It means , the price should be not more then $70 .

Therefore in case, the price of scanner is $75, then you will not remain within your budget .

Write the number 1.8 in the form a/b, using integers, to show that it is a rational number.

Pepsi [2]

1. Note that the number 1.8 consists of two parts 1 and 0.8.

2. The decimal 0.8 can be written as the fraction $\dfrac{8}{10}.$

3. Add these two numbers:

$1+\dfrac{8}{10}=\dfrac{10}{10}+\dfrac{8}{10}=\dfrac{10+8}{10}=\dfrac{18}{10}.$

4. Since 18=2·3·3 and 10=2·5, the fraction $\dfrac{18}{10}$ can be simplified to the rational number

$\dfrac{18}{10}=\dfrac{2\cdot 3\cdot 3}{2\cdot 5}=\dfrac{3\cdot 3}{5}=\dfrac{9}{5}.$

The equation y 4.9t 2 3.5t 2.4 relates the height y in meters to the elapsed time t in seconds for a ball thrown downward at 3.5

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

$t \approx 0.43\,s$

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical displacement function is $y(t) = -4.9\cdot t^{2}-3.5\cdot t + 2.4$ , where $y(t)$ is measured in meters and $t$ in seconds. Ball hits the ground when $y(t) = 0$ . That is:

$-4.9\cdot t^{2}-3.5\cdot t + 2.4 = 0$

Whose roots can be found by using the General Formula for Second-Order Polynomials:

$t_{1,2} = \frac{3.5\pm \sqrt{(-3.5)^{2}-4\cdot (-4.9)\cdot (2.4)} }{2\cdot (-4.9)}$

Solutions of this polynomial are:

$t_{1} \approx 0.43\,s,t_{2} \approx -1.14\,s$

Only the first root is physically consistent.

Pietro made 18 baskets during a basketball game.The number of 3 pointers are 3 more than half of the 2 point shots.how many type

blagie [28]

Total points is 23

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Total number of baskets = 18

Let the number of 2 pointer shots be x

Let the number of 3 pointer shots be y

According to the question:

$y = \frac{x}{2} + 3$ -1

The equation can be formed as:

$\frac{x}{2} + 3 + x = 18$

On solving this equation further we get:

$\frac{x+6+2x}{2} = 18\\\\9x = 36\\\\x = 4$

Putting the value of x = 4 in equation 1

$y = \frac{x}{2}+3\\ \\y = \frac{4}{2} + 3\\\\y = 5$

Points for 2 pointer shots = 4 X 2

= 8

Points for 3 pointer shots = 5 X 3

= 15

Total points = 8 + 15

= 23

Therefore, total points is 23
