On Saturday, Carrie went to the store and bought 4 loaves of bread and 1 gallon of milk for a total of $12.50. The next weekend,

she went to the same store and spent 11.50 on 2 loaves of bread and 2 gallons of milk. The prices had not changed. What is the price for 1 gallon of milk

Answer:

The price of one gallon of milk is $3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> the price of one loaves of bread

y----> the price of one gallon of milk

we know that

4x+y=12.50 ----> equation A

2x+2y=11.50 ----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by graphing

Remember that the solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

The solution is the point (2.25,3.5)

see the attached figure

therefore

The price of one loaves of bread is $2.25

The price of one gallon of milk is $3.5

A cylinder and a cone have the same base and height. The cylinder can hold about 4,712 Centimeters cubed of sand. Jared says tha
o-na [289]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the volume of a cylinder is expressed as

Volume = πr²h

The formula for determining the volume of a cone is expressed as

Volume = 1/3πr²h

This means that the volume of a cone is 1/3 × volume of a cylinder if they have the same base and height.

If the cylinder can hold about 4,712 Centimeters cubed of sand and Jared says that the cone can hold about 1,178 Centimeters cubed of sand, then

Jared is not correct because the cone and the cylinder have the same base and height so the cone holds StartFraction 4,712 Over 3 EndFraction almost-equals 1,571 centimeters cubed of sand.

Which of the following graphs could be the graph of the function f(x) = x4 + x3 – x2 – x?
vitfil [10]

<u> Solution-</u>

The given function is,

f(x) = x^4+ x^3-x^2-x

     = x^3(x+1)- x(x+1)

     = (x+1)(x^3-x)

     = (x+1)x(x^2-1)

     = (x+1)x(x+1)(x-1)

     = {(x+1)}^2x(x-1)

Therefore, at x=0, -1, 1 , f(x) will be 0 . Hence, 0, -1 ,1 are the x-intercepts.

Plotting the graph on desmos, the graph will be as in the attachment.

A student repeatedly measures the mass of an object using a mechanical balance and gets the following values: 560 g, 562 g, 556
MrRissso [65]

Answer: 2.76 g

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the standard deviation:-

\sigma=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum(x_i-\overline{x})^2}{n}}

The given data values : 560 g, 562 g, 556 g, 558 g, 560 g, 556 g, 559 g, 561 g, 565 g, 563 g.

Then,  \overline{x}=\dfrac{\sum_{i=1}^{10} x_i}{n}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \overline{x}=\dfrac{560+562+556+558+560+556+559+561+565+563}{10}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \overline{x}=\dfrac{5600}{10}=560

Now, \sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_i-\overline{x})^2=0^2+2^2+(-4)^2+(-2)^2+0^2+(-4)^2+(-1)^2+1^2+5^2+3^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ \sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_i-\overline{x})^2=76

Then, \sigma=\sqrt{\dfrac{76}{10}}=\sqrt{7.6}=2.76

Hence, the  standard deviation of his measurements = 2.76 g

A has the coordinates (–4, 3) and B has the coordinates (4, 4). If DO,1/2(x, y) is a dilation of △ABC, what is true about the im
loris [4]

Answer:

Coordinates of Vertices of triangle ABC are A (-4,3) , B(4,4) and C(1,1).

As, DO is Dilation of Δ ABC by Scale factor of \frac{1}{2}.

Vertices of A' B'C' are

A'=(\frac{-4}{2},\frac{3}{2})=(-2,\frac{3}{2}), B'=(\frac{4}{2},\frac{4}{2})=(2,2), C'=(\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2})

So, Image Δ A'B'C' will be smaller than the Pre image Δ ABC.

The two triangles will be congruent.

AO is Dilated by a factor of half , so A'O' will be half of AO.

So, correct Statements are

1. AB is parallel to A'B'.

2.DO,1/2(x, y) =  

The distance from A' to the origin is half the distance from A to the origin.

OA=\sqrt{(-4)^2+3^2}=\sqrt{25}=5\\\\ O'A'=\sqrt{2^2+(\frac{3}{2})^2}=\frac{5}{2}=2.5
