A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. A delivery of 2 large boxes and 12 small boxes has a total weight of 223 kilograms. A delivery of 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes has a total weight of 139 kilograms. How much does each type of box weigh?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A large box weighs 18.5 kilograms and a small box weighs 15.5 kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations where l is the weight of one large box and s is the weight of one small box.

2l + 12s = 223

5l + 3s = 139

Solve by elimination by multiplying the bottom equation by -4:

2l + 12s = 223

-20l - 12s = -556

Add these together and solve for l:

-18l = -333

l = 18.5

So, a large box weighs 18.5 kilograms. Plug in 18.5 as l into one of the equations, and solve for s:

5l + 3s = 139

5(18.5) + 3s = 139

92.5 + 3s = 139

3s = 46.5

s = 15.5

A large box weighs 18.5 kilograms and a small box weighs 15.5 kilograms.

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

large: 18.5 kgsmall: 15.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Two equations for the total weight can be written in general form as ...

  2L +12S -223 = 0

  5L +3S -139 = 0

These can be solved using the "cross multiplication method" by computing three differences:

  d1 = (2)(3) -(5)(12) = 6 -60 = -54

  d2 = (12)(-139) -(3)(-223) = -1668 +669 = -999

  d3 = (-223)(5) -(-139)(2) = -1115 +278 = -837

Then the weighs of the boxes are ...

  1/d1 = L/d2 = S/d3

  L = d2/d1 = -999/-54 = 18.5

  S = d3/d1 = -837/-54 = 15.5

The large box weighs 18.5 kg; the small box weighs 15.5 kg.

Additional comment

If the coefficients are written in two rows of four numbers, with the first repeated at the end, the pattern of differences can be seen to be (ad -cb) for [a, b] in the first row and [c, d] in the second row of a pair of adjacent columns. This method of solution is fully equivalent to solution using Cramer's Rule for a system of equations represented by a matrix equation.

6+40+200=246

180+1,200+6,000=7,380

Given mean of the first sample x₁⁻ = 178

Standard deviation of the sample S₁ = 35

Given second sample size n₂= 100

Given mean of the second sample x₂⁻ = 193

Standard deviation of the sample S₂ = 37

Find the lengths of AD, EF, and BC in the trapezoid below.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Segment EF is mid-segment of ABCD ⇒ ( 2x - 4 ) + ( x - 5 ) = 2x

x - 9 = 0

x = 9

AD = 4

EF = 9

BC = 14

The length of segments AD, EF, and BC in the trapezoid are 4, 9 and 14 respectively

What is Coordinate Geometry?

A coordinate geometry is a branch of geometry where the position of the points on the plane is defined with the help of an ordered pair of numbers also known as coordinates.

We have to find the lengths of AD, EF, and BC in the trapezoid

Segment EF is mid-segment of ABCD

So ( 2x - 4 ) + ( x - 5 ) = 2x

Now let us solve for x

2x-4+x-5=2x

Combine the like terms

x-9=0

x=9

So AD =x-5

=9-5= 4

EF = 9

BC = 2x-4

=18-4

=14

Hence, the length of segments AD, EF, and BC in the trapezoid are 4, 9 and 14 respectively

Exponential functions always will end up being bigger than quadratic functions and since g(x) is probably the exponential it makes f(x) the quadratic because it is growing slower than the function g(x)

What is a function?

The function is an expression, rule, or law that defines the relationship between one variable to another variable. Functions are ubiquitous in mathematics and are essential for formulating physical relationships.

The table below shows the values of f(x) and g(x) for different values of x.

One of the functions is a quadratic function, and the other is an exponential function.

The quadratic function f(x) will be

f(x) = ax² + bx + c

At x = 1, f(x) will be 3

a + b + c = 3 ...1

At x = 2, f(x) will be 6

4a + 2b + c = 6 ...2

At x = 3, f(x) will be 11

9a + 3b + c = 11 ...3

On solving equations 1, 2, and 3, we have

a = 1, b = 0, and c = 2

Then the quadratic function will be

f(x) = x² + 2

The exponential function g(x) will be given as

g(x) = abˣ

At x = 1, g(x) will be 3

ab = 3 ...4

At x = 2, g(x) will be 9

ab² = 9 ...5

From equations 4 and 5, we have

a = 1 and b = 3

Then the exponential function will be

[tex]\rm g(x) = 3^x[/tex]

the height of a soccer ball that is kicked from the ground can be approximated by the function:

where y is the height of the soccer ball in feet x seconds after it is kicked. What is the soccer ball's maximum height in feet?​

Answers

Answer:  4 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

x refers to time. Since we want to know how long it is in the air, we need to find the time (x) when the ball lands on the ground (y = 0)

0 = -12x² + 48x

0 = -12x(x - 4)

0 = -12x     0 = x - 4

0 = x          4 = x

x = 0 seconds is when the ball was kicked

x = 4 seconds is when the ball landed on the ground
