Eddie purchased 15 boxes of paper clips and 7 packages of index cards for a total of $55.40. Finn bought 12 boxes of paper clips and 10 packages of index cards for $61.70. Find the cost of one box of paper clips and one package of index cards

Answers

Answer 1

The cost of one box of paper clips is $1.85 and the cost of one package of index cards is $3.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Eldora and Finn went to an office supply store together

Eldora bought 15 boxes of paper clips and 7  packages of index cards for a total cost of $55.40

Finn bought 12 boxes of paper clips and 10 packages of  index cards for a total cost of $61.70

We need to find the cost of one box of paper clips and the cost of one package of  index cards

Assume that the cost of one box of paper clips is $x and the cost of one package of  index cards is $y

∵ x represents the cost of one box of paper clips

∵ y represents the cost of one package of  index cards

∵ Eldora bought 15 boxes of paper clips and 7  packages of

  index cards for a total cost of $55.40

∴ 15x + 7y = 55.4 ⇒ (1)

∵ Finn bought 12 boxes of paper clips and 10 packages of  

  index cards for a total cost of $61.70

∴ 12x + 10y = 61.7 ⇒ (2)

Now we have system of equations to solve it

Multiply equation (1) by -10 and equation (2) by 7 to eliminate y

∵ -10(15x) + -10(7y) = -10(55.4)

∴ -150x - 70y = -554 ⇒ (3)

∵ 7(12x) + 7(10y) = 7(61.7)

∴ 84x + 70y = 431.9 ⇒ (4)

Add equations (3) and (4)

∵ (-150x + 84x) + (-70y + 70y) = (-554 + 431.9)

∴ -66x = -122.1

- Divide both sides by -66

∴ x = 1.85

Substitute the value of x in equation (1) or (2) to find y

∵ 12(1.85) + 10y = 61.7

∴ 22.2 + 10y = 61.7

- Subtract 22.2 from both sides

∴ 10y = 39.5

- Divide both sides by 10

∴ y = 3.95

The cost of one box of paper clips is $1.85 and the cost of one package of index cards is $3.95

Answer:if a triangle is a right triangle, then the sum of the squares of the lenghts of the legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse.

- a property of all triangles with a right-angle (an angle of 90°)

Step-by-step explanation:

Zach is trying to find out the hypotenuse value of the right-angle triangle.

What is the right triangle?

A right triangle is defined as a triangle in which one angle is a right angle or two sides are perpendicular.

The Pythagorean theorem states that "in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides".

Zach is most likely trying to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle, which is the side opposite the right angle, given the lengths of the other two sides.

In this case, given 32 inches, 20 inches, and 20 inches values, he's trying to find out the hypotenuse value of the right-angle triangle.

What is the area of this figure?

Use 3.14 for π.

A shape made up of a rectangle of the left and a semicircle on the right. The rectangle has a width of 15 meters and a height of 12 meters.
Enter your answer to the nearest hundredths place in the box.
Question 5 options:

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

l = 12 metres

b = 15 metres

diameter of semicircle = length = 12 m

radius = 12/2 = 6 cm

area of the figure = area of rectangle + area of semi circle

= l × b + πr²

= 12 × 15 + 3.14 × 6²

= 180 + 113.04

= 293.04 m²

The perimeter of the figure is 60.84 meters.

What is a rectangle?

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with all four interior angles 90°.

Given that, the width and height of the rectangle are 15 meters and 12 meters respectively.

Note that the diamter o he semicircel is 12 meters.

The radius of the semicircle is:

12/2

= 6 meters

The perimeter of the figure is given by:
15 + 12 + 15 + π(6)

= 42 + 3.14×6

= 60.84

Hence, the perimeter of the figure is 60.84 meters.

2. A cable is attached to a pole 10 meters high. If the other end is attached to the ground 8 meters from the base of the pole. How long is the cable?

Answers

Answer:

the cable is  2\sqrt{41} meters long

Step-by-step explanation:

after drawing out the lengths given, you can see that you need to find the hypotenuse of a triangle with legs 10 and 8 meters long.

10^2+8^2=164

sqrt of 164 is [tex]2\sqrt{41}[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]2\sqrt{41}\: \sf m[/tex] = 12.81 m (nearest hundredth)

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be modeled as a right triangle, with:

height = 10 ftbase = 8 ft

The length of the cable is the hypotenuse.

Using Pythagoras' Theorem: [tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

(where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse, of a right triangle)

[tex]\implies 8^2+10^2=c^2[/tex]

[tex]\implies 164=c^2[/tex]

[tex]\implies c=\sqrt{164}[/tex]

[tex]\implies c=\sqrt{4 \cdot 41}[/tex]

[tex]\implies c=\sqrt{4} \sqrt{41}[/tex]

[tex]\implies c=2\sqrt{41}\: \sf m[/tex]

Therefore, the length of the cable is [tex]2\sqrt{41}\: \sf m[/tex] = 12.81 m (nearest hundredth)

the answer would be C. you know this because it can’t be A or B because they are positive and D is over -1 which is more than -1/6.

sorry if this is confusing but yeah
The answer is C. This is because since it is 1/6 we know it has to be close to 0 however since it’s negative we know it has to be under 0. If we know it can’t be -1 and can’t be 0 then that narrows it down to C, since there are no other points in that section.

Answers

Answer:

m∠CAB = 90°

BD = 9

m∠ABC = 90°

arc AEC = 180°

AD = 14.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1

The angle between the radius and a tangent to the circle is always 90°.

Therefore, as AC is the radius and AB is a tangent segment, m∠CAB=90°

As m∠CAB = 90°, we can use Pythagoras' Theorem to find BC (hypotenuse):

   AC² + AB² = BC²

⇒ 8² + 15² = BC²

⇒ BC² = 289

⇒ BC = 17

As CD is the radius, CD = 8

Therefore, BD = BC - CD = 17 - 8 = 9

Question 2

If D is the center, then AC is the diameter. Angles at the circumference in a semicircle are always 90°.  Therefore, m∠ABC = 90°

As AC is the diameter, arc AEC is half of the circle.  

Therefore, arc AEC = 360° ÷ 2 = 180°

As m∠ABC = 90°, we can use Pythagoras' Theorem to find AC (hypotenuse):

   BC² + AB² = AC²

⇒ 20² + 21² = AC²

⇒ AC² = 841

⇒ AC = 29

AD is the radius.  A radius is half the diameter.

Therefore, AD = AC ÷ 2 = 29 ÷ 2 = 14.5

Write the equation for each translation of the graph of y=|x+2|.
a) one unit up
b) one unit down
c) one unit to the left
d) one unit to the right

Answers

c. to the left

when the 2 is inside the absolute value it goes the opposite way so instead of right it would be to the left. If it were on the outside, then you would shift it up or down according to the + or -.

a) one unit up = Ix + 2I + 1

b) one unit down = Ix + 2I - 1

c) one unit to the left = Ix + 1I

d) one unit to the right = Ix + 3I

What is transformation on the graphs?

Let the function f(x) and g(x) are two real functions.

And g (x) = f (x) + k, where k is real numbers.

Function can be sketched by shifting f (x), k units vertically.

The direction of shift can be found by the value of k:

if k > 0, the base graph shifts k units up, and

if k < 0, the base graph shifts k units down.

The function provided by the basic function f(x) and the constant

g(x) = f(x - k),

may be drawn by horizontally moving the f(x) k unit coordinates.

The shift's direction depends on the value of k. Specifically,

The base graph moves k units to the right if k > 0, and

The base graph moves k units to the left if k < 0.

The graph of y = |x+2| is a V-shaped graph centered at x = -2.

To translate this graph, we need to modify the equation to shift it up/down or left/right.

Here are the equations for each translation:

a) To shift the graph one unit up, we need to add 1 to the equation:

y = |x+2| + 1

b) To shift the graph one unit down, we need to subtract 1 from the equation:

y = |x+2| - 1

c) To shift the graph one unit to the left, we need to replace x with (x+1) in the equation (since moving left means decreasing x by 1):

y = |(x+1)+2|

Simplifying this gives:

y = |x+3|

d) To shift the graph one unit to the right, we need to replace x with (x-1) in the equation (since moving right means increasing x by 1):

y = |(x-1)+2|

Simplifying this gives:

y = |x+1|

Therefore, all the required values are given above.

High dataset overlap typically refers to a situation in which two or more datasets contain many of the same or very similar entries or data points.

This can happen, for instance, in the field of machine learning, when training and testing datasets have high overlap, which could lead to overfitting. Overfitting is a modeling error that occurs when a function is too closely fit to a limited set of data points and may therefore perform poorly on new, unseen data.
