A nut mixture of peanuts and pecans at a small fair is $1.00 per pound of peanuts and $2.85 per pound of pecans. Over the entire

day, 97 pounds of the nut mixture were sold for $254.25. If p is the number peanuts and n is the number of pecans, then the system of equations that models this scenario is:
p+n=97
p+2.85n=254.25

Determine the correct description and amount of pounds for peanuts and pecans that were sold.

A.(75.0, 22.0) There were 75.0 pounds of peanuts and 22.0 pounds of pecans sold at the fair.
B.(12.0, 85.0) There were 12.0 pounds of peanuts and 85.0 pounds of pecans sold at the fair.
C.(22.0, 75.0) There were 22.0 pounds of peanuts and 75.0 pounds of pecans sold at the fair.
D.(85.0, 12.0) There were 85.0 pounds of peanuts and 12.0 pounds of pecans sold at the fair.

Answer:

  B.  (12.0, 85.0) There were 12.0 pounds of peanuts and 85.0 pounds of pecans sold at the fair

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the first equation from the second:

  1.85n = 157.25

  n = 157.25/1.85 = 85 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of n

Only one answer choice has 85 pounds of pecans—the one shown above.

If e^(xy) = 2, then what is dy/dx at the point (1, ln2)
PSYCHO15rus [73]
By implicit differentiation: 

<span>(x(dy/dx) + y)e^(xy) = 0 </span>

<span>Note that when differentiating e^(xy), apply chain rule. When differentiating xy, use product rule. Also: When differentiating y w/respect to x, think of that as if you are differentiating f(x). </span>

<span>Then, substitute (1,ln(2)) and solve for dy/dx. </span>

<span>(1(dy/dx) + ln(2))e^(1ln(2)) = 0 </span>
<span>((dy/dx) + ln(2))e^(ln(2)) = 0 </span>

<span>Note that e^(ln(2)) = 2 since e and ln are inverse of each other. </span>

<span>2((dy/dx) + ln(2)) = 0 </span>
<span>dy/dx + ln(2) = 0 . . . . You get this expression by dividing both sides by 2 </span>
<span>dy/dx = -ln(2) . . . . . . .Subtract both sides by ln(2) </span>

<span>Therefore, dy/dx = -ln(2) </span>

<span>I hope this helps!</span>

The difference in the x- coordinates of two points is 3, and the difference in the y- coordinates of the two points is 6. What i
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope or gradient of a line is given by dividing change in y axis by the change in x axis. Slope is represented by m hence m=\frac {\triangle y}{\triangle x} where \triangle y is the change in y axis while \triangle x is the change in x co-ordinates. Substituting \triangle y with 6 units while 3 units substitute \triangle x then the slope will be m=\frac {6}{3}=2

Therefore, the gradient is 2

A coordinate grid with 2 lines. The first line is labeled y equals negative StartFraction 7 over 4 EndFraction x plus StartFract
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Question 1. (2.2, -1.4)

Question 2. (1.33, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations for the given lines are

-----(1)

It is given that this line passes through two points (0, 2.5) and (2.2, 1.4).

------(2)

This equation passes through (0, -3) and (2.2, -1.4).

Now we have to find a common point through which these lines pass or solution of these equations.

From equations (1) and (2),

x =

x = 2.2

From equation (2),

y = -1.4

Therefore, solution of these equations is (2.2, -1.4).

Question 2.

The given equations are y = 1.5x - 1 and y = 1

From these equations,

1 = 1.5x - 1

1.5x = 2

x =

Therefore, the solution of the system of linear equations is (1.33, 1).
