4 hot dogs and a soft drink costs $6.30 whereas one hot dog in for soft drinks cost $4.20 what is the total cost of one hot dog and one soft drink?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Let h = hot dog
Let s = soft drink
4h + s = 6.30...Equation A
h + 4s = 4.20...Equation B

We have two equations in two unknowns. The unknowns are the variables h and s.
I will solve for s in Equation A by subtracting 4h from both sides.
s = -4h + 6.30
I will now replace s in Equation B with -4h + 6.30 to find the price of one hot dog.
h + 4(-4h + 6.30) = 4.20
h -16h + 25.2 = 4.20
-15h = -25.2 + 4.20
-15h = -21
Divide both sides by -15.
h = -21/-15
h = 21/15
h = 7/5
h = $1.40
We now know the value of one hot dog.
Go back to EITHER Equation A or B, replace h with 1.40, do the algebra and you will find the price of one soft drink.

Is it true that any nonzero integer divided by 0 equals zero?

Answers

Yes, it is true. You can divide a integer by 0 and get 0, But you CAN'T divide 0 by another integer. For example, 0 divided by 5 equals 0, but 0 divided by 5 would be considered as "undefined" in math terms

Graph the data from the table below. Describe the parent function as linear, square root, cube root, cubic, or quadratic.

Answers

The function rule is g(x) = 2*sqrt(x) which is a transformation of the parent function f(x) = sqrt(x)

The g(x) function has been scaled by a factor of 2. In other words, each point on g(x) is twice as high as its corresponding point on f(x). Specifically for example, the point (1,1) has been doubled to (1,2). Overall, this vertically stretches out the parent function graph.

Both the parent function f(x) and the other g(x) curve are square root functions.

See the attached image. The blue curve goes through the given points from the table. The red curve is the parent function.
