A citrus grower purchased 25 orange trees and 20 grapefruit trees for $290. The next week, at the same prices, the grower bought 20 orange trees and 30 grapefruit trees for $330. Find the cost of an orange tee and the cost of a grapefruit tree.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of an orange tree is $ 6 while that of a grapefruit tree is $

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of an orange tree and y be the cost of a grapefruit tree. In the first week, the citrus grower purchased 25 orange trees and 20 grapefruit trees for $290, so 25x + 20y = 290 (1).

In the next week, the grower bought 20 orange trees and 30 grapefruit trees for $330. So, 20x + 30y = 330 (2)

From (2) y = (330 - 20x)/30 = (33 - 2x)/3

substituting y into (1), we have

25x + 20[(33 - 2x)/3] = 290

multiplying through by 3, we have

75x + 20(33 - 2x) = 870

expanding the bracket, we have

75x + 660 - 40x = 870

collecting like terms, we have

75x - 40x = 870 - 660

35x = 210

dividing both sides by 35, we have

x = 210/35

x = 6

substituting x = 6 into y, we have

y = (33 - 2x)/3

= (33 - 2(6))/3

= (33 - 12)/3

= 21/3

= 7

So the cost of an orange tree is $ 6 while that of a grapefruit tree is $ 7.

Answer:

38) Angle 2 = 32°; angle 1 = 32°; angle 3 = 110°

39) Angle 3 = 81°; Angle 2 = 28°; angle 1 = 71°

Step-by-step explanation:

38) angle 2 = 180 - (110 + 38)

This is because sum of angles in a triangle is equal to 180°. Thus;

Angle 2 = 32°

Angle 1 = 38° due to the postulate that alternate interior angles are equal

Angle 3 = 110° due to corresponding angles postulate

39) Angle 3 = 81° due to the postulate that alternate interior angles are equal

Angle 2 = 28° due to the postulate that alternate interior angles are equal

Angle 1 = 180 - (81 + 28) = 71° due to the fact that angles in a triangle sum up to 180°

Answers

Answer: Choice C.  [tex]y \ge -1[/tex]

==========================================================

Explanation:

The boundary line is a solid line and it's horizontal. Every point on the boundary line has y coordinate -1. So y = -1 is the equation of the boundary line. We can write it as y = 0x-1.

The shading is above the boundary line, so the inequality is [tex]y \ge -1[/tex]

Any point (x,y) in the shaded region has y coordinate that is y = -1 or greater.

For example, the point (0,2) in the shaded region has y coordinate y = 2, and it satisfies the inequality [tex]y \ge -1[/tex] because [tex]2 \ge -1[/tex] is a true statement.

Note: the boundary line is solid, so any point on the boundary line is part of the shaded solution set. This is due to the "or equal to" as part of the inequality sign.

Answers

The series 1 + 3 + 9 + 27 is a geometric series because the common ratio is 3 option second is correct.

What is a sequence?

It is defined as the systematic way of representing the data that follows a certain rule of arithmetic.

As we know, the geometric series has a common ratio:

If a, b, c, d, e.....

is in the GP then,

b/a  =  c/b  =  d/c = and so on

We have a series:

0.1 + 0.3 + 0.5 + 0.7

0.3/0.1 ≠ 0.5/0.3

The above sequence is not a geometric series.

1 + 3 + 9 + 27

3/1  =  9/3  = 3

The above sequence is a geometric series.

19 + 17 + 15 + 13

17/19  ≠  15/17

The above sequence is not a geometric series.

0.4 + 0.9 + 1.5 + 2.2

0.9/0.4  ≠  1.5/0.9

The above sequence is not a geometric series.

Thus, the series 1 + 3 + 9 + 27 is a geometric series because the common ratio is 3 option second is correct.

Answer:

f = 132 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The total angle measure of this is 360 degrees. We know 2 of the angles, so subtract them from 360 to get 198. The sum of f and g must equal 198 degrees. Since we know that f = 2g, we can divide 198 by 3 to get 66. So, we know g = 66. To find f, multiply 66 by two to get 132. So, g = 66 and f = 132
