A store sells yogurt in small, medium, and large sizes. A small yogurt costs $2, a medium costs $3, and a large costs $5. In one
lidiya [134]
Let S = number of small yogurts ($2 each).
Let M = number of medium yogurts ($3 each)
Let L = number of large yogurts ($5 each)

Total yogurts is 27, therefore
S + M + L = 27

Total revenue generated is $98, therefore
2S + 3M +5L = 98

There are five more large yogurts than small yogurts, therefore
L = S + 5, or
-S + L = 5

These three equations may be written as the matrix equation
[  1   1   1  | |S|      |27|
|  2  3  5 | |M| =   |98|
| -1   0  1 | |L|       | 5|

The determinant of the matrix is
D = 3 - (2+5) + 3 = -1.

Solve with Cramer's Rule to obtain
S = -[27*3) - (98-25) - 15]
   = 7
M = -[(98-25) - 27(2+5) + (10+98)]
    = 8
L = -[15 - (10+98) + 27(3)]
   = 12

Answer: 7 small, 8 medium, 12 large yogurts.

An engineer is designing an arch-shaped gate for the entrance to an amusement park. The gate must be 80 feet wide and 25 feet ta
Tom [10]
1) the form of the equation may be written as y = A(X - Xo)(X - X1)

Where Xo and X1 are the two roots of the equation.


2) We can fix the system of coordinates so that the vertex is in the middle of the gate => Xo = - 40 and X1 = +40


=> y = A (X + 40) (X - 40) = A (X^2 - 1600) 


3) The height, at X = 0 is 25

=> A(0 - 1600) = 25


=> -1600A = 25 => A = -25 / 1600 = - 1/64


4) The equation is y =  - [1/64] (X^2 - 1600)


5) You can present it in different equivalent forms.

Some of those other forms are:

1) - 64y = (x^2 - 1600)

2) x^2 = - 64y + 1600

3) X^2 = - 64 (y - 25)
