At a farmers' market. Karen and Alice each bought some bread that cost $2 per loaf. Then Karen spent $3 to purchase other items, while Alice spent $1. Could the girls have bought the same number of loaves of bread and spent the same total amount?

1. Let x represent the number of loaves of bread. Fill in the boxes to write a system of equations for the total amounts spent.

Karen: y = x +
Alice: y = x +

2. What are the slopes of the lines represented by the equations?

3. What are the y-intercepts of the lines represented by the equations?

4. Do the lines intersect?

5. How many solutions are there to this system of equations?

math6. Can Karen and Alice have bought the same number of loaves of bread and spent the same total amount?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(1)

Karen: [tex]y = 2x +3[/tex]

Alice: [tex]y = 2x +1[/tex]

(2): Slope is 2

(3) y intercept

[tex]b = 3[/tex] --- For Karen

[tex]b = 1[/tex] --- For Alice

(4) They do not intersect

(5) No solution

(6) No

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]x = loaves[/tex]

[tex]y = amount[/tex]

Solving (1): Complete the equation.

For Karen:

[tex]m = 2[/tex] --- the rate

[tex]b = 3[/tex] --- additional spendings

For Alice:

[tex]m = 2[/tex] --- the rate

[tex]b = 1[/tex] --- additional spendings

The general equation is;

[tex]y = mx +b[/tex]

For Karen, it becomes

[tex]y = 2x +3[/tex]

For Alice, it is:

[tex]y = 2x +1[/tex]

(2): The slopes.

In (1), we have:

[tex]m = 2[/tex] --- the rate (for both Karen and Alice).

This rate implies the slope.

Hence, the slope is 2

(3): The y intercept.

The additional spendings in (1) means the y intercept.

So, we have:

[tex]b = 3[/tex] --- For Karen

[tex]b = 1[/tex] --- For Alice

(4) Because they have the same slope, they do not intersect

(5) Number of solutions.

[tex]y = 2x +3[/tex]

[tex]y = 2x +1[/tex]

Subtract both equations

[tex]y-y = 2x-2x +3-1[/tex]

[tex]0 = 2[/tex]

This means there is no solution

(6) Can they spend the same amount on the same number of loaves

In (5), the equations have no solution

Hence, it is not possible to spend the same amount for the same number of loaves

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of water in Year 1 is $1 per unit. There are 8 units so their value is:

= 8 * 1

= $8

Price of a loaf of bread is $2. The basket contains 10 loaves of bread. Value is:

= 10 * 2

= $20

Total value of the basket in year 1 is:

= 20 + 8

If 2.22 moles of ammonia (NH3 ) decomposes according to the reaction shown, how many moles of hydrogen (H2 ) are formed? A. 1.11 moles of H2 B. 3.33 moles of H2 C. 6.66 moles of H2 D. 2.22 moles of H2

Answers

Answer:

C. 3.33 moles

Step-by-step explanation:

Ammonia decomposes

[tex]2NH_3\rightarrow N_2+3H_2[/tex]

We have to find the moles of hydrogen formed in 2.22 moles of ammonia.

From the reaction

2 moles of ammonia gives 3 moles of hydrogen

1 mole of ammonia  produce hydrogen=3/2 moles

2.22 moles of ammonia produces hydrogen=[tex]\frac{3}{2}\times 2.22[/tex] moles

Number of moles of hydrogen formed by decomposition of 2.22 moles of ammonia

=[tex]\frac{6.66}{2}=3.33[/tex]moles

Hence, 3.33 moles of hydrogen are formed in 2.22 moles of ammonia.

Option C is true.

C. 3.33 moles

When a commodity is sold for x dollars per item, the number of items sold is f(x). The item costs 5 dollars to make. The item costs 3 dollars to make.

Required:
a. Express the total profit P in terms of x (the answer has been partially filled in for you).
b. What is the rate of change of the total profit as x changes?
c. If 3000 items sell when the price is 45 dollars and if the number of items that are sold decreases by 600 for every 1 dollar increase in price, find the rate of change of the profit when the item price is 45 dollars.

Answers

In this exercise we will use the differential equations to calculate finances, we find that:

a) [tex]Profit = (x - 3)f(x)[/tex]

b) [tex]P' = f(x) + (x - 1) f'(x)[/tex]

c) [tex]P' = 29400[/tex]

The cost of producing the items is the total expenses of production while the revenue is the amount of money generated from selling the item.

a)Then using the given formula and substituting for the known values ​​we find that;

[tex]Cost = \ cost \ of \ producing \ one \ item * number \ of \ items \ produced\\Cost = $3 * f(x) = 3f(x)\\Revenue = selling \ price \ of \ one \ item * number \ of \ items \ produced\\Revenue = x * f(x) = xf(x)\\Profit = Revenue - Cost = xf(x) - 3f(x)\\Profit = (x - 3)f(x)[/tex]

b) Applying knowledge of differential equations we find that:

[tex]P' = d/dx(xf(x) - 3f(x) )\\P' = f(x) + xf'(x) - f'(x)\\P' = f(x) + (x - 1) f'(x)[/tex]

c)Substituting the known values ​​into the formula given above, we find that:

[tex]f(x) = 3000, x = $45, f'(x) = -600 items / 1$\\P' = 3000 + (45 - 1)(-600)\\P' = 3000 + 26400\\P' = 29400[/tex]

Security A rounds every 2 minutes and 20 seconds in the gate 1. Security B rounds every 1 minute and 40 seconds in the gate 2. If they conduct rounds at the same time. After how many minutes they will rounds together again?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Time = 11\frac{2}{3}\ min[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Security\ A = 2\ mins, 20\ secs[/tex]

[tex]Security\ B = 1\ mins, 40\ secs[/tex]

Required

After how many minutes, will they round together

First, convert the given time to minutes

[tex]Security\ A = 2\ mins, 20\ secs[/tex]

[tex]Security\ A = 2\ mins+ 20\ secs[/tex]

[tex]Security\ A = 2\ mins+ \frac{20}{60}\ min[/tex]

[tex]Security\ A = 2\ mins+ \frac{1}{3}\ min[/tex]

[tex]Security\ A = 2\frac{1}{3}\ min[/tex]

[tex]Security\ B = 1\ mins, 40\ secs[/tex]

[tex]Security\ B = 1\ mins+ 40\ secs[/tex]

[tex]Security\ B = 1\ mins+ \frac{40}{60}\ min[/tex]

[tex]Security\ B = 1\frac{2}{3}\ min[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Security\ A = 2\frac{1}{3}\ min[/tex]

[tex]Security\ B = 1\frac{2}{3}\ min[/tex]

List out the multiples of the time of both security personnel take round.

[tex]Security\ A = 2\frac{1}{3}min,\ 4\frac{2}{3}min,\ 7min,\ 9\frac{1}{3}min,\ 11\frac{2}{3}min...[/tex]

[tex]Security\ B = 1\frac{2}{3}min,\ 3\frac{1}{3}min,\ 5min,\ 6\frac{2}{3}min,\ 8\frac{1}{3}min,\ 10min\ ,11\frac{2}{3}min,...[/tex]

In the above lists, the common time is:

[tex]Time = 11\frac{2}{3}\ min[/tex]

This implies that they go on round after [tex]11\frac{2}{3}\ min[/tex]
