<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The cost of ketchup bottle, x = 2.89</h2><h2>The cost of mustard bottle, y = 1.59</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ketchup be represented as x and mustard as y

Briana  bought 3 bottles of ketchup and 2 bottles of mustard and for $11.85

3x + 2y = 11.85 ...(1)

Logan bought 2 bottles of ketchup and 5 bottles of mustard for $13.73.

2x + 5y = 13.73 ...(2)

Multiplying eq (1) by 2, we get

6x + 4y = 23.7 ...(3)

Multiplying eq (2) by 3, we get

6x + 15y = 41.19 ...(4)

Subtracting eq (3) from (4),

we get 11y = 17.49

y = 1.59, substitute it in eq(1), we get

x = 2.89

Therefore, the cost of ketchup bottle, x = 2.89

The cost of mustard bottle, y = 1.59

In a lecture demonstration, an object is suspended from a spring scale which reads 8N when the object is in air. The object is t
katovenus [111]

Answer:

a) density of the object is 3995.01, b) the weight scale reads 22N c) the sum individually will be the same with when added together.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of the object in air is 8N,

and weight = Mass * acceleration due to gravity = m * 9.81

8/9.81 = 0.815,

upthrust( force acting on the body from the liquid impeding the immersion) on the body when fully submerged = weight in air - weight in water = 8N - 6N =2N

Upthrust = weight of water displaced = 2N = mass * acceleration

2/9.81 = 0.204kg

density of water(1000kg/m^3) = mass of water / volume of water

volume of water displaced = 0.204/1000 = 0.000204m^3 (204cm^3)

volume of water displaced = volume of the solid

density of solid = mass/ volume = 0.815/0.000204 = 3995.01kg/m^3

b) when fully submerge in water the the scale experience according to newton third law of motion ( equal and opposite reaction of forces) additional 2N push so that total weight with the fully submerge solid = 20N + upthrust = 20N + 2N =22N

c) the of two scale reading is before (8N + 20N = 28N) and after (6N + 22N = 28) since there is no loss of matter; the demonstration was in equilibrium.

Suppose the function F(c) represents the earnings of a volleyball team from selling c cupcakes. They are selling each cupcake fo
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The variable c represents the domain as it is the independent variable.

The domain of the function F(c) is given by c ≥ 0.

So, only positive values for the input make sense.

The upper limit of the domain is +∞ and lower limit is 0.

It is not possible for the team to earn $50.50 as it will be only multiple of 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

If F(c) represents the earning of a volleyball team from selling c cupcakes and each cupcake costs $2 each, then the equation that models the situation is  

F(c) = 2c ..... (1)

The variable c represents the domain as it is the independent variable. (Answer)

The domain of the function F(c) is given by c ≥ 0. (Answer)

So, only positive values for the input make sense. (Answer)

The upper limit of the domain is +∞ and the lower limit is 0. (Answer)

It is not possible for the team to earn $50.50 as it will be only multiple of 2. (Answer)

Question 18 Item 18 The distribution of the number of moths captured per night by a certain moth trap is approximately normal wi
juin [17]

Answer:

Standard deviation 46.3

Step-by-step explanation:

A 28% of the distribution is equivalent to a z score of -0.5828, you can use a z table to find that.

Z score is calculated as follows:

z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

x is the number being evaluated

μ is the mean

σ is the standard deviation

And it is used to calculate how many standard deviations you are from the mean of the sample.

Replacing with the known information you can calculate the standard deviation:

\sigma=\frac{x-\mu}{z} =\frac{76-103}{-0.5828}= 46.3

Marrrta [24]

Answer: Jacob is 7 years old.

Step-by-step explanation: 5 years ago, Jacob was 2 years old and his brother was 12. Now, in three years, Jacob will be 10 and his brother will be 20. To find the answer, you need a system of equations. The first equation will be 6(J-5) = B - 5, where J is Jacob's current age and B is his brother's. The next equation will be 2(J + 3) = B + 3. Now, just solve the equation. I gave you the answer, but please work through the problem so you understand it :D
