A coach purchases 47 hats for his players and their families at a total cost of $302. The cost of a small hat is $5.50. A medium

hat costs $6.00. A large hat costs $7.00. He purchases three times as many medium hats as small hats. Using matrices, how many large hats did the coach purchase?

Answer:

d. 23

Step-by-step explanation:

 x: small hat

 y: medium hat

 z: large hat

 We now write the system of equations:

 x + y + z = 47

 5.50x + 6y + 7z = 302

 -3x + y = 0

 We can write the system in matrix form as:

 Ax = b

 Where,

 A = [1  1  1; 5.50  6  7; -3  1  0]

 b = [47;  302;  0]

 x = [x;  y ;  z]

 Solving the system we have:

 x = 6

 y = 18

 z = 23

hope this helps

correct me if this is wrong

Lorie is using long division to find the quotient of x^3 + 6x^2 + 5 and x^2 + x -1, as shown at the bottom of this question.
meriva

Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + x - 1) x³ + 6x² + 0x + 5 ( x + 5

           - (<u>x³ +   x²  -  x</u>)

                      5x² + x + 5

                    -(<u>5x² + 5x - 5)</u>

                             -4x + 10

Result : x+5+\frac{-4x+10}{(x^{2}+x-1)}

By the comparing the result with the Lorie's solution,

She made a mistake in the last step in which she combined the constant incorrectly.

Therefore, Option (B) will be the answer.

Triangle H N K is shown. Angle H N K is 90 degrees. The length of hypotenuse H K is n, the length of H N is 12, and the length o
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are given a triangle HNK with an angle of 90°

The length of hypotenuse H K is n,

the length of HN is 12

the length of N K is 6.

From the above values, obtained in the question, we can see that this is a right angled triangle.

We are asked to find the length of the hypotenuse.

We can use Pythagoras Theorem of solve for this.

c² = a² + b²

where c = HK = n

a = NK = 6

b = HN = 12

c² = 6² + 12²

c² = 36 + 144

c² = 180

c = √180

c = 13.416407865

Approximately to the nearest whole number = 13

Therefore the value of HK = n = 13

We can also use Law of Cosines as given in the question to solve for this.

a² = b² + c² - 2ac × Cos A

where c = HK = n

a = NK = 6

b = HN = 12

Hence

c² = a² + b² - 2ab × Cos C

c = √ (a² + b² - 2ab × Cos C)

Where C = 90

c = √ 6² + 12² - 2 × 6 × 12 × Cos 90

c = 13.42

Approximately to the nearest whole number ≈ 13

Therefore the value of HK = n = 13

A pipe that is 120 cm long resonates to produce sound of wavelengths 480 cm, 160 cm, and 96 cm but does not resonate at any wave
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

A Pipe that is 120 cm long resonates to produce sound of wavelengths 480 cm, 160 cm and 96 cm but does not resonate at any wavelengths longer than these. This pipe is:

A. closed at both ends

B. open at one end and closed at one end

C. open at both ends.

D. we cannot tell because we do not know the frequency of the sound.

The right choice is:

B. open at one end and closed at one end .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the pipe, L = 120 cm

Its wavelength \lambda_1 = 480 cm

                         \lambda_2 = 160 cm and \lambda_3 = 96 cm

We have to find whether the pipe is open,closed or open-closed or none.

Note:

  • The fundamental wavelength of a pipe which is open at both ends is 2L.
  • The fundamental wavelength of a pipe which is closed at one end and open at another end is 4L.

So,

The fundamental wavelength:

⇒ 4L=4(120)=480\ cm

It seems that the pipe is open at one end and closed at one end.

Now lets check with the subsequent wavelengths.

For one side open and one side closed pipe:

An odd-integer number of quarter wavelength have to fit into the tube of length L.

⇒  \lambda_2=\frac{4L}{3}                                   ⇒  \lambda_3=\frac{4L}{5}

⇒ \lambda_2=\frac{4(120)}{3}                              ⇒  \lambda_3=\frac{4(120)}{5}

⇒ \lambda_2=\frac{480}{3}                                  ⇒  \lambda_3=\frac{480}{5}

⇒ \lambda_2=160\ cm                           ⇒   \lambda_3=96\ cm  

So the pipe is open at one end and closed at one end .

What is the equation of the graph below? On a coordinate plane, a curve goes through (0, 0). It has a maximum of 1 and a minimum
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

y=cos(x+π)

Step-by-step explanation:

Known that the cosine function has a period of 2π.

Now, the parental function is y = cosx, which has y-intercept at y = 1, and x-intercept at π/2.

Notice that the function showed in the graph attached has y-intercept at y = -1 and x-intercept at π/2. This indicates that the function has been moved leftwards π units.

Therefore, the function that belongs to this graph is

y=cos(x + \pi)
