A local grocery store makes a 6-pound mixture of trail mix. The trail mix contains raisins, sunflower seeds, and chocolate-covered peanuts. The raisins cost $3 per pound, the sunflower seeds cost $1 per pound, and the chocolate-covered peanuts cost $1.50 per pound. The mixture calls for twice as many raisins as sunflower seeds. The total cost of the mixture is $11.50. Write a system of equations for the situation and solve for the amount of each item in the trail mix.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The mass of sunflower seeds in the mixture is 1-pound

The mass of chocolate-covered peanuts in the mixture is 3-pounds

The mass of raisins in the mixture is 2-pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The cost per pound of raisins = $3

The cost per pound of sunflower seeds = $1

The cost per pound of chocolate-covered peanuts = $1.50

The mass of raisings in the mixture = 2 × The mass of sunflower seeds in the mixture

The total cost of the mixture = $11.50

The mass of the mixture = 6-pounds

Let x represent the mass of sunflower seeds in the mixture, and y represents the mass of chocolate-covered peanuts in the mixture, we have;

The mass of raisins in the mixture = 2 × x

The system of equation are;

2·x + x + y = 6...(1)

2·x × 3 + x × 1 + y × 1.5 = 11.50...(2)

Simplifying the above two equations give;

For equation (1), we have;

3·x + y = 6...(1)

For equation (2), we have;

7·x + 1.5·y = 11.50...(2)

Making y the subject of both formulas, gives;

For equation (1), we have;

y = 6 - 3·x

For equation (2), we have;

y = 11.50/1.5 - 7/1.5·x

Equating both equations of y, to find the common solution as follows;

6 - 3·x = 11.50/1.5 - 7/1.5·x

7/1.5·x  - 3·x = 11.50/1.5 - 6

14/3·x  - 3·x = 23/3 - 6

5/3·x = 5/3

x = 3/5 × 5/3 = 1

x = 1

The mass of sunflower seeds in the mixture = x = 1-pound

y = 6 - 3·x =  6 - 3 × 1 = 3

y = 3

-The mass of chocolate-covered peanuts in the mixture = y = 3-pounds

The mass of raisins in the mixture = 2 × x = 2 × 1 = 2-pounds.

How to find the y-intercept of a graph?

The y-intercept is the point where the line intersects the y-axis. This is the value of y when x is equals to zero.

Using slope intercept formula,

y = mx + b

where

m = slopeb = y-intercept

Now, let's trace the value of y when x = 0 in the graph.

Therefore,

when x = 0, y = -3

Hence, the y-intercept of the graph is -3

2x -16 = -18

Add 16 to both sides of the equation:

2x =16 += -18

Consider the following.
cos(x) = x3
A) Prove that the equation has at least one real root.
The equation cos(x) = x3 is equivalent to the equation f(x) = cos(x) − x3 = 0. f(x) is continuous on the interval (0, 1) there is a number c in (0, 1) such that f(c) = 0 by the Intermediate Value Theorem. Thus, there is a root of the equation cos(x) = x3, in the interval (0, 1).
B) Use your calculator to find an interval of length 0.01 that contains a root.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

cos(x) = x³

f(x) = cos (x) - x³

f(x) is continuous on the interval (0, 1)

when;

f(0) = cos (0) - (0)

f(0) = 1 - 0

f(0) = 1 > 0

f(1)  = cos (1) - 1³

f(1) = 0.5403 - 1

f(1) = -0.4597

f(1) = - 0.46

f(1) = - 0.46 < 0

Since, 1 > 0 > -0.46, thus there is a number ''c" in (0,1)

such that f(c) = 0

By applying the Intermediate Value Theorem, there is a root of the equation in the interval (0,1)

b) Given that:

The interval length = 0.01; this implies that it is 0.005 length from its root.

f(0.865) = 0.0014

f(0.87) = - 0.013

The solution to the interval lies between 0.865 , 0.87 by using a calculator at length 0.01.

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y = 6x +1 and that passes through the point (-7,1).

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=6x+43[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want the equation of a line that is parallel to [tex]y=6x+1[/tex] which also passes through (-7, 1).

Since the new line is parallel, it must have the same slope as the original line.

The slope of the original line is 6.

Hence, the slope of our new line must also be 6.

We know that the slope is 6.

And it passes through the point (-7, 1).

So, we can use the point-slope form:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

Where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point.

Substitute:

[tex]y-1=6(x-(-7))[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]y-1=6(x+7)[/tex]

Distribute:

[tex]y-1=6x+42[/tex]

Add 1 to both sides. Hence, our equation is:

[tex]y=6x+43[/tex]

Vectors are usually described in terms of their components in a coordinate system. Even in everyday life we naturally invoke the concept of orthogonal projections in a rectangular coordinate system. For example, if you ask someone for directions to a particular location, you will more likely be told to go 40 km east and 30 km north than 50 km in the direction 37° north of east.

In a rectangular (Cartesian) xy-coordinate system in a plane, a point in a plane is described by a pair of coordinates (x, y). In a similar fashion, a vector

A

in a plane is described by a pair of its vector coordinates. The x-coordinate of vector

A

is called its x-component and the y-coordinate of vector

A

is called its y-component. The vector x-component is a vector denoted by

x. The vector y-component is a vector denoted by

y. In the Cartesian system, the x and y vector components of a vector are the orthogonal projections of this vector onto the x– and y-axes, respectively.
