Answer:

There were 14 cartons of size 2 rackets and 24 cartons of size 3 rackets

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the number of cartons holding 2 rackets is x and the number of cartons holding 3 rackets is y

∵ There are x cartons of 2 rackets

∵ There are y cartons of 3 rackets

∵ They used 38 cartons

∴ x + y = 38 ⇒ (1)

∵ They packed a total of 100 rackets

∴ 2x + 3y = 100 ⇒ (2)

Let us solve the system of equations

→ Multiply equation (1) by -2 to make the coefficients of x in

the equations equal in values and different is signs

∵ -2(x) + -2(y) = -2(38)

∴ -2x - 2y = -76 ⇒ (3)

→ Add equations (2) and (3)

∴ y = 24

→ Substitute the value of y in equation (1) or (2) to find x

∵ x + 24 = 38

→ Subtract 24 from both sides

∴ x + 24 - 24 = 38 - 24

∴ x = 14

There were 14 cartons of size 2 rackets and 24 cartons of size 3 rackets

You operate a fresh fruit and vegetable market. For normal shipments, about 9.0% of the peaches are spoiled when they reached yo

Nastasia [14]

Given:

Spoilage rate of fruits = 9% = 0.09

To find:

Amount of fruits to be order to have 100 pounds of peaches and considering the spoilage rate.

Solution:

Let the required amount of fruits you should order be x.

So, spoiled fruits = 9% of x = 0.09x

He would like to have 100 pounds of peaches to sell.

$x-0.09x=100$

$0.91x=100$

Divide both sides by 0.91.

$x=\dfrac{100}{0.91}$

$x=109.89$

$x\approx 110$

The required amount of fruits to be order is 110 lbs. Therefore, the correct option is D.

Let $f(x) = x^{10}-8x^8-8x^3+12x^2-5x-5$. Without using long division (which would be horribly nasty!), find the remainder when

valentina_108 [34]

Solution:

$f(x) = x^{10}-8x^8-8x^3+12x^2-5x-5$

We have to find the remainder when f(x) is divided by $x^2-1.$

x²-1=0

x= $\pm1$

$f(1)=1^{10}-8(1)^8-8(1)^3+12(1)^2-5(1)-5=1-8-8+12-5-5=1-16+12-10=13-26=-13\\\\f(-1)=(-1)^{10}-8(-1)^8-8(-1)^3+12(-1)^2-5(-1)-5=1-8+8+12+5-5=1+12=13$

So, remainder is 13 and -13.

An exponential function and a quadratic function are graphed below. Which of the following is true of the growth rate of the fun

aleksley [76]

Given an exponential function, say f(x), such that f(0) = 1 and f(1) = 2 and a quadratic finction, say g(x), such that g(0) = 0 and g(1) = 1.

The rate of change of a function f(x) over an interval
$a \leq x \leq b$
is given by
$\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

Thus, the rate of change (growth rate) of the exponential function, f(x) over the interval
$0 \leq x \leq 1$
is given by
$\frac{f(1)-f(0)}{1-0} = \frac{2-1}{1} =1$

Similarly, the rate of change (growth rate) of the quadratic function, g(x) over the interval
$0 \leq x \leq 1$
is given by
$\frac{g(1)-g(0)}{1-0} = \frac{1-0}{1} =1$

Therefore, the exponential grows at the same rate as the quadratic in the interval <span> $0 \leq x \leq 1$ .</span>
