Answer:

$0.75x + 0.15y = 90$

greatest number of pens =120

greatest number of pencils = 600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pens

Let y represent the number of pencils.

Each pen costs $0.75

Cost of x pens = 0.75 x

Each pencil costs $0.15.

Cost of y pencils = 0.15y

Now we are given that The glee club has $90 to spend on pens and pencils.

So, $0.75x + 0.15y = 90$

So,t the equation that describes the number of club pens and pencils that the glee club can buy is $0.75x + 0.15y = 90$

Part A) $0.75x + 0.15y = 90$

Part B )What is the greatest number of each type of writing tool that the club can buy?

$0.75x + 0.15y = 90$

Substitute y = 0

$0.75x = 90$

$x = \frac{90}{0.75}$

$x = 120$

greatest number of pens =120

Substitute x = 0

$0.15y= 90$

$y = \frac{90}{0.15}$

$y = 600$

greatest number of pencils = 600

Which of the following values are in the range of the function graphed below?

Elanso [62]

Hello!

The range is all of the y-values of the function. As we can see, the function is at y-values 0, -2,-4 and -6.

Therefore, our answers are 0 ,-2 and -6.

I hope this helps!

Anna11 [10]

You would be 3ft above the sea level, if you are -6ft under the sea level and if you are standing 3ft “above” you would have to clime back up 9ft to get back to the positive’s which is “positive 3” so yes, your elevation will be opposite of the “plain” since you went to a -6 to a positive 3, with different numbers.

Terrence is folding paper cranes at a constant rate. Write an equation to describe the relationship between c, the number of cra

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

It is c = kt.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is direct variation . As the time increases the number of cranes increases.

The equation is c = kt where k is the constant of variation. In this case it will be a positive value because c is increasing with time.

If they make 20 cranes in 10 minutes then we can find the value of k by plugging in these values;

20 = k * 10

g = 20/10

k = 2.

So they make 2 cranes per minute.

4vir4ik [10]

We have to choose the correct answer for the center of the circumscribed circle of a triangle. The center of the circumscribed circle of a triangle is where the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle intersects. In this case P1P2 and Q1Q2 are perpendicular bisectors of sides AB and BC, respectively and they intersect at point P. S is the point where the angle bisectors intersect ( it is the center of the inscribed circle ). Answer: <span>P.</span>

Paul and jose are trying to measure the height of a tree. paul is standing 19m from the foot of the tree and measures the angle

Nina [5.8K]

The firts thig we are going to do is create tow triangles using the angles of elevation of Paul and Jose. Since the problem is not giving us their height we'll assume that the horizontal line of sight of both of them coincide with the base of the tree.
We know that Paul is 19m from the base of the tree and its elevation angle to the top of the tree is 59°. We also know that the elevation angle of Jose and the top of the tree is 43°, but we don't know the distance between Paul of Jose, so lets label that distance as $x$ .
Now we can build a right triangle between Paul and the tree and another one between Jose and the tree as shown in the figure. Lets use cosine to find h in Paul's trianlge:
$cos(59)= \frac{19}{h}$
$h= \frac{19}{cos(59)}$
$h=36.9$
Now we can use the law of sines to find the distance $x$ between Paul and Jose:
$\frac{sin(43)}{36.9} = \frac{sin(16)}{x}$
$x= \frac{36.9sin(16)}{sin(43)}$
$x=14.9$

Now that we know the distance between Paul and Jose, the only thing left is add that distance to the distance from Paul and the base of the tree:
$19m+14.9=33.9m$

We can conclude that Jose is 33.9m from the base of the tree.
