The drama club is selling short-sleeved shirts for $5 each, and long-sleeved shirts for $10 each. They hope to sell all of the s

hirts they ordered, to earn a total of $1,750. After the first week of the fundraiser, they sold StartFraction one-third EndFraction of the short-sleeved shirts and StartFraction one-half EndFraction of the long-sleeved shirts, for a total of 100 shirts.
This system of equations models the situation.
5x + 10y = 1,750
x + A system of equations. 5 x plus 10 y equals 1,750. StartFraction one-third EndFraction x plus StartFraction one-half EndFraction y equals 100.y = 100
Let x represent the number of short-sleeved shirts ordered and let y represent the number of long-sleeved shirts ordered.
How many short-sleeved shirts were ordered?

Answer:

<u>The drama club ordered 150 short-sleeved shirts and 100 long-sleeved shirts</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information provided for answering the questions properly:

5x + 10y = 1,750

1/3x + 1/2y = 100

x = number of short-sleeved shirts ordered

y = number of long-sleeved shirts ordered

Resolving the 1st equation:

5x + 10y = 1,750

5x = 1,750 - 10y

x = 350 - 2y (Dividing by 5 at both sides)

Resolving  the 2nd equation:

1/3x + 1/2y = 100

1/3 (350 - 2y) + 1/2y = 100

350/3 -2y/3 + 1/2y = 100

700 - 4y + 3y = 600 (Lowest common denominator = 6)

-y = 600 - 700 (Subtracting 700 at both sides)

<u>y = 100</u> (Dividing by - 1)

Finding the value of x in the 1st equation:

5x + 10 (100) = 1,750

5x + 1,000 = 1,750

5x = 1,750 - 1,000 (Subtracting 1,000 at both sides)

5x = 750

<u>x = 150</u> (Dividing by 5)

2. Proving that x = 150 and y = 100 are correct

1/3x + 1/2y = 100

1/3 * 150 + 1/2 * 100 = 100

150/3 + 100/2 = 100

50 + 50 = 100

100 = 100

<u>We proved that x = 150 and y = 100 are correct</u>

The diameter of Circle Q terminates on the circumference of the circle at (0,3) and (0,-4). Write the equation of the circle in
Gnesinka [82]
First, determine the center of the circle by getting the midpoint of the points given for the circumference.
                    midpoint = ((0 + 0)/2, (3 + -4)/2)
                          midpoint (0, -0.5)
Then, we get the radius by determining the distance from either of the circumferential point to the center. 
                        radius = √(0 -  0)² + (3 +4)²  = 7
The equation for the circle would be,
                        x² + (y + 0.5)² = 7²

Complete the steps for solving 7 = –2x2 + 10x. Factor out of the variable terms. inside the parentheses and on the left side of
Mamont248 [21]

we have

7=-2x^{2} +10x

Factor the leading coefficient

7=-2(x^{2} -5x)

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

7-12.50=-2(x^{2} -5x+2.5^{2})

-5.50=-2(x^{2} -5x+2.5^{2})

Divide both sides by -2

2.75=(x^{2} -5x+2.5^{2})

Rewrite as perfect squares

2.75=(x-2.5)^{2}

Taking the square roots of both sides (square root property of equality)

x-2.5=(+/-)\sqrt{2.75}

Remember that

\sqrt{2.75}=\sqrt{\frac{11}{4}}= \frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}

x-2.5=(+/-)\frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}

x=2.5(+/-)\frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}

x=2.5+\frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}=\frac{5+\sqrt{11}}{2}

x=2.5-\frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}=\frac{5-\sqrt{11}}{2}

<u>the answer is</u>

The solutions are

x=\frac{5+\sqrt{11}}{2}

x=\frac{5-\sqrt{11}}{2}

11/12​−6/1​q+6/5​q−3/1​, Combine like terms to create an equivalent expression.
Nikolay [14]

Answer: -\frac{25}{12} -\frac{24q}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{11}{12} -\frac{6}{1} q+\frac{6}{5}q-\frac{3}{1}

\frac{11}{12} -6q+ \frac{6q}{5} -\frac{3}{1}

\frac{11}{12}-6q \frac{6q}{5} -3

(\frac{11}{12} -3)+(-6q+\frac{6q}{5} )

-\frac{25}{12}- \frac{24q}{5}

Simplify three times, collect like terms and simplify again, how to collect like terms see their differences and then put them into groups, for example I put all the numbers without variables on one side and all the numbers with variables on another.

Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great rest of Black History Month! :-)

Daniel is printing out copies of a presentation. It takes 3 minutes to print a color copy and 1 minute to print a black-and-whit
Effectus [21]
Work the information to set inequalities that represent each condition or restriction.

2) Name the variables. 

c: number of color copies
b: number of black-and-white copies

3) Model each restriction:

i) <span>It takes 3 minutes to print a color copy and 1 minute to print a black-and-white copy.
</span><span>
</span><span>3c + b
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>ii) He needs to print at least 6 copies ⇒ c + b ≥ 6
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>iv) And must have the copies completed in no more than 12 minutes ⇒</span>

3c + b ≤ 12
<span />

4) Additional restrictions are c ≥ 0, and b ≥ 0 (i.e. only positive values for the number of each kind of copies are acceptable)

5) This is how you graph that:

i) 3c + b ≤ 12: draw the line 3c + b = 12 and shade the region up and to the right of the line.

ii) c + b ≥ 6: draw the line c + b = 6 and shade the region down and to the left of the line.

iii) since c ≥ 0 and b ≥ 0, the region is in the first quadrant.

iv) The final region is the intersection of the above mentioned shaded regions.

v) You can see such graph in the attached figure.

Given that tangent theta = negative 1, what is the value of secant theta, for StartFraction 3 pi Over 2 EndFraction less-than th
Rashid [163]

Answer:

sec(\theta)=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2} }=\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by noticing that the angle \theta is on the 4th quadrant (between \frac{3\pi}{2} and 2\pi. Recall then that in this quadrant the functions tangent and cosine are positive, while the function sine is negative in value. This is important to remember given the fact that tangent of an angle is defined as the quotient of the sine function at that angle divided by the cosine of the same angle:

tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}

Now, let's use the information that the tangent of the angle in question equals "-1", and understand what that angle could be:

tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}\\-1=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}\\-cos(\theta)=sin(\theta)

The particular special angle that satisfies this (the magnitude of sine and cosine the same) in the 4th quadrant, is the angle \frac{7\pi}{4}

which renders for the cosine function the value \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}.

Now, since we are asked to find the value of the secant of this angle, we need to remember the expression for the secant function in terms of other trig functions: sec(\theta)=\frac{1}{cos(\theta)}

Therefore the value of the secant of this angle would be the reciprocal of the cosine of the angle, that is: sec(\theta)=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2} }=\sqrt{2}
