A coffee house blended 18 pounds of espresso flavored coffee beans with 17 pounds of vanilla flavored coffee beans. The 35 pound mixture cost $306.50. A second mixture included 19 pounds of espresso flavored coffee beans and 15 pounds of vanilla flavored coffee beans. The 34 pound mixture cost $298.50. Find the cost per pound of the espresso and vanilla flavored coffee beans.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the price of the vanilla flavored coffee per pound is $8.50

the price of the espresso flavored coffee per pound is $9.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's give letters to the unknowns, so we can generate equations easily:

cost of espresso coffee beans per pound:  "E"

cost of vanilla flavored coffee beans per pound : "V"

Now, the first statement:

18 pounds of E plus 17 pounds of V cost $306.50, can be written as:

18 E + 17 V = 306.5

The second statement:

19 pounds of E plus 15 pounds of V cost $298.50, can be written as:

19 E + 15 V = 298.5

Now, in order to solve this system of linear equations we can use substitution for example:

E = (306.5 -17 V)/18

and use this expression to substitute for E in the second equation:

19  (306.5 - 17 V)/ 18 + 15 V = 298.5

multiplying by 18 on both sides to eliminate denominators, we get:

19 (306.5 - 17 V) + 270 V = 5373

5823.5 - 323 V +270 V = 5373

5823.5 - 53 V = 5373

5823.5 - 5373 = 53 V

450.5 = 53 V

V = 8.5

Therefore the price of the vanilla flavored coffee per pound is $8.50

Now we use this found value in the substitution equation:

E = (306.5 -17 V)/18

E = (306.5 - 17 (8.5))/18

E = 9

Therefore the price of the espresso flavored coffee per pound is $9.00

Write an equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence. Then find a50.
1/3 , 1/2 , 2/3 , 5/6

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sequence above is an arithmetic sequence

For an nth term in an arithmetic sequence

A(n) = a + ( n - 1)d

where a is the first term

n is the number of terms

d is the common difference

From the question

a = 1/3

d = 1/2 - 1/3 = 1/6 or 2/3 - 1/2 = 1/6

Substitute the values into the above formula

That's

[tex]A(n) = \frac{1}{3} + (n - 1) \frac{1}{6} \\ = \frac{1}{ 3} - \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} n [/tex]

So the nth term of the sequence is

[tex]A(n) = \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6}n[/tex]

For a50 since we are finding the 50th term

n = 50

So we have

[tex]A(50) = \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} (50) \\ = \frac{1}{6} + \frac{25}{3} [/tex]

We have the final answer as

[tex]A(50) = \frac{17}{2} [/tex]

What did they do incorrectly

Answers

In the equation 40+70+?=360, they are trying to find the last angle.

First they would add 40 and 70, which is 110.

So 110+?=360

360-110=?

360-110=250

Well this is wrong, because every angle in a triangle adds up to 180 degrees.

If you are adding up the angles in a quadrilateral, only then it adds up to 360 degrees.

So they did everything right, but they didn't use the right "total degrees"

This is what it was supposed to look like.

40+70+?=180

110+?=180

180-110=?

180-110=70

?=70

Answers

Answer:

[tex](-\frac{3}{22},\frac{185}{22} )[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find out what the question is asking

Because we want the point to be equidistant to all the vertices of the triangle formed we want the circumcenter of the triangle as it is equidistant from all of the vertices, a circumcenter is made from the perpendicular bisectors of the triangle

Step 2: Give the vertices variables

A = (-4,8)

B = (-1,-1)

C = (3,7)

Step 2: Find the Circumcenter

Solve for 'b'

[tex](\frac{7}{2})=(-3)(\frac{3}{2} ) +b\\\frac{7}{2}=-\frac{9}{2}+b\\\frac{7}{2}+ \frac{9}{2}=b\\b = 8[/tex]

Therefore the equation for line AB is:

Find the midpoint of side AC

Find slope of AC

mAC

[tex]=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} \\=\frac{8-7}{-4-3} \\=\frac{1}{-7}\\ =-\frac{1}{7}[/tex]

Solve for 'b'

[tex]y=mx+b\\\frac{15}{2} =-\frac{1}{7} (-\frac{1}{2} )+b\\\frac{15}{2} =-\frac{1}{14} +b\\\frac{1}{14}+\frac{15}{2} = b\\b=\frac{53}{7}[/tex]

Therefore the equation for line AC is:

y = [tex]-\frac{1}{7}[/tex]x+[tex]\frac{53}{7}[/tex]

Step 3: Find the P.O.I of the 2 lines

Set both of the equation equal to each other

[tex]3x + 8=-\frac{1}{7} x+\frac{53}{7} \\3x +\frac{1}{7} x=\frac{53}{7}-8\\\frac{22}{7} x=-\frac{3}{7} \\x=-\frac{3}{22}[/tex]

We now know 'x' and we substitute x into any equation to find 'y'

[tex]y = -3(-\frac{3}{22} ) + 8\\y = \frac{9}{22} + 8\\y = \frac{185}{22}[/tex]

Therefore the new firehouse should be built at [tex](-\frac{3}{22},\frac{185}{22} )[/tex]

What is the point-slope form of the equation for the line with a slope of -2 that passes through the point (4, -6)?

Answers

Answer:

y + 6 = - 2(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y + b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - 2 and (a, b) = (4, - 6) , thus

y - (- 6) = - 2(x - 4) , that is

y + 6 = - 2(x - 4)

A straight line on the coordinate plane is represented by a linear function.

The formula for a linear function is f(x) = ax + b, where a and b are real values.

In another word, a linear function is a function that varies linearly with respect to the changing variable.

As per the given points,

Let's take two-point (1,1)  and (2,1.5)

The slope associated with the above points will be as,

(1.5 - 1)/(2 - 1) = 0.5

Thus, the line will be y = 0.5x + 0.3

Hence "The slope of the points is closer to 0.5 thus y = 0.5x + 1.2 will be the best approximation".

Joe's boat rental rents paddle boats for $8.00 and hour and the paddles rent for $5.00 for the day. If David has $45, what is the least amount of hours he could rent the paddle boat?

Answers

Answer:

Least: 1 hour

Maximum: 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Boat hourly rate = $8.00

Paddle daily rate = $5.00

Required

Determine the least hour, David could use the boat

First, we need to represent this as an inequality.

Since David has $45, then

[tex]\$8.00 * x + \$5.00 \leq \$45.00[/tex]

Where x represents the number of hours

Collect Like Terms

[tex]\$8.00 * x \leq \$45.00 - \$5.00[/tex]

[tex]\$8.00 * x \leq \$40.00[/tex]

Divide both sides by $8.00

[tex]x \leq \frac{\$40.00}{\$8.00}[/tex]

[tex]x \leq 5[/tex]

Hence, the least number of hour is 1 hour while the maximum is 5 hours
