You and a friend went to Taco Bell for lunch.
You ordered 3 soft tacos and 3 burritos for
$11.25. Your friend ordered 4 soft tacos and
2 burritos for $10. How much do soft tacos cost?
How much do burritos cost

Answers

Answer 1
Let’s make a pair of equations, one for what you ordered, one for what your friend ordered. We’ll have x represent soft tacos and y represent burritos.

Your order: 3x + 3y = 11.25

Your friend’s order: 4x + 2y = 10

The first thing I gather using the information above is that burritos are more expensive then tacos, right? Your order is more expensive, with 1 less taco and 1 more burrito than your friend’s. But now we need to find out just how much more burritos cost.

To do that, pick an equation and simplify it for either x or y. I’ll choose the second equation, because it has a simpler answer. Let’s see what y equals for that one.
2y = 10 - 4x
y = 5 - 2x

Burritos cost 5 minus the cost of two tacos. Just replace y with this in our other equation.
3x + 3(5-2x) = 11.25
Use the distributive property.
3x + 15 - 6x = 11.25
15 - 3x = 11.25
-3x = -3.75
3x = 3.75
One taco costs $1.25
It’s easy to find out what the other variable equals once you have one already. Just pick either of the equations and know how much a taco costs. I’ll jump back to the second one.

4(1.25) + 2y = 10
5 + 2y = 10
2y = 5
y = 2.5

As predicted, burritos cost more. One taco costs $1.25. One burrito costs $2.50. With problems like these, you can always double-check the answers if you’d like. Just plug in the numbers.

My answer is correct, though :)

What is the vertex form to standard form?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=x^2+2x-2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex Form:

Vertex form is expressed as: [tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex], and is super useful when analyzing the vertex, which is given to be (h, k).

Standard Form:

Standard form is expressed as: [tex]y=ax^2+bx+c[/tex], and is also useful in certain cases.

Converting Vertex to Standard Form:

When converting standard to vertex we have to complete the square to rewrite the equation using a perfect square binomial, which is what really distinguishes the two. Now when we want to convert back into standard form, we simply need to get rid of this perfect square binomial, which we can do by expanding out the perfect square binomial into a trinomial.

So in other words, we want to multiply out the following: [tex](x+1)(x+1)[/tex], which becomes: [tex]x^2+2x+1[/tex] which you can solve by using polynomial multiplication, which is essentially just extending the logic of the distributive property. In general when given two polynomials to multiply, you look at one polynomial, and then multiply it by each term in the other polynomial, now repeat this for each term in the polynomial you were initially looking at. I'll provide a picture to better illustrate this. You can use FOIL if it helps you with multiplying binomials, but remembering how to generally use it, will help you when multiplying polynomials in general.

Now that we've multiplied out the expression, we can substitute it into the equation: [tex]y=x^2+2x+1-3[/tex], now just combine the constants: [tex]y=x^2+2x-2[/tex], and now you've converted it into standard form!

  cos(x -π/3) = (1/2)cos(x) +(√3/2)sin(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

You want cos(x -π/3) written in terms of sine and cosine.

Angle difference

The formula for the cosine of the difference between two angles is ...

  cos(a -b) = cos(a)cos(b) +sin(a)sin(b)

Application

We have a=x, b=π/3, so the desired function is ...

  cos(x -π/3) = cos(x)cos(π/3) +sin(x)sin(π/3)

We know that ...

cos(π/3) = 1/2sin(π/3) = √3/2

so the rewrite is ...

  cos(x -π/3) = (1/2)cos(x) +(√3/2)sin(x)

A random sample of 40 adults with children under the age of 18 results in a mean daily leisure time of 4.37 hours, with a standard deviation of 1.73 hours. Construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the mean difference in leisure time between adults with no children and adults with children. (u1 - u2)
Let u1 represent the mean leisure hours of adults with no children under the age of 18 and u2 represent the mean leisure hours of adults with children under the age of 18. The 90% confidence interval for (u1 - u2) is the range from (???, ???) round to 2 decimals

Answers

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for (u1 - u2) is the range from; ( 0.50 - 2.06 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;  

Adult with No children under 18                    Adult with children under 18

x"₁ = 5.65                                                             x"₂ = 4.37

s₁ = 2.43                                                               s₂ = 1.73

n₁ = 40                                                                  n₂ = 40

with 90% confidence

significance level ∝ = 1 - 90% = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1    

Degree of freedom df = 39

Now, since variance are not equal and are also unknown, we will use 2 sample t-distribution method;

Standard Error: σx"₁ - x"₂ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2} }[/tex]

Critical value = [tex]t_{\alpha /2, df[/tex] = [tex]t_{0.05, df=39[/tex] = 1.645   { from standard normal table }

Now,

Margin of Error = E = [tex]t_{\alpha /2, df[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2} }[/tex]

we substitute

E = 1.645 × [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2.43^2}{40} + \frac{1.73^2}{40} }[/tex]      

E = 1.645  × √( 0.1476225 + 0.0748225 )

E = 0.7758478

Now, our point difference will be; x"₁ - x"₂ = 5.65 - 4.37 = 1.28

So Limit at 90% confidence interval will be;

x"₁ - x"₂ ±  E

Lower Limit = x"₁ - x"₂ - E = 1.28 - 0.7758478 = 0.50415 ≈ 0.50

Upper Limit = x"₁ - x"₂ + E = 1.28 + 0.7758478 = 2.05584 ≈ 2.06

Therefore, The 90% confidence interval for (u1 - u2) is the range from; ( 0.50 - 2.06 )

According to question as both side are equal so it is an isosceles triangle and the value of X is 18.

What are the properties of Isosceles Triangle?

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two sides of equal length. Some properties of an isosceles triangle include:

The two equal sides are called the legs of the triangle and the remaining side is called the base.The angle between the legs is always equal to the angle between the base and one of the legs.The altitude (perpendicular line segment from a vertex to the opposite side) bisects the base of the triangle.The median (line segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side) and the altitude from the same vertex to the opposite side are also congruent.The circumcenter (center of the circle that passes through all three vertices) of an isosceles triangle is always located at the midpoint of the line connecting the two vertices of the congruent sides.The line that is bisecting the angle between the congruent sides (also known as the angle bisector) also bisects the side opposite to that angle.

so In this triangle ,

The mid point on horizontal side is given and 5m line cut the mid point of both the sides.

both side are equal as it is an isosceles triangle.

and given in the question,

side/2 =9

and  one side is equal to x.

and both sides are equal,

therefore

side = 9*2 = 18

so the value of x = 18.

An equation is a formula in mathematics that joins two statements with the equal symbol = to represent equality. The definition of an equation in algebra is a mathematical statement proving the equality of two mathematical expressions. In the equation 3x + 5 = 14, for instance, the terms 3x + 5 and 14 are separated by an equal sign. The link between two phrases on either side of a letter is expressed mathematically.
