Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equations need to match the problem statements. If we let C and S represent the costs of Cherry and Sweet potato pies, respectively, then the revenue from each sale can be expressed as an equation.
1 cherry and 7 sweet potato for $114 ⇒ C +7S = 114
14 sweet potato and 11 cherry for $309 ⇒ 11C +14S = 309
Note that we have used C and S in the second equation in the same order as they appeared in the first equation, even though the problem statement has that order reversed. This facilitates solving the equations using elimination or Cramer's rule.
These equations match Option 4.

The cost of a cherry pie can be found by eliminating S from the equations. We can do that by subtracting twice the first equation from the second:
(11C +14S) -2(C +7S) = (309) -2(114)
9C = 81 . . . . . simplify
C = 9 . . . . . . . divide by 9
The cost of each cherry pie is $9.
We use P = i•e^rt for exponential population growth, where P = end population, i = initial population, r = rate, and t = time
P = 2•i = 2•15 = 30, so 30 = 15 [e^(r•1)],
or 30/15 = 2 = e^(r)
ln 2 = ln (e^r)
.693 = r•(ln e), ln e = 1, so r = .693
Now that we have our doubling rate of .693, we can use that r and our t as the 12th hour is t=11, because there are 11 more hours at the end of that first hour
So our initial population is again 15, and P = i•e^rt
P = 15•e^(.693×11) = 15•e^(7.624)
P = 15•2046.94 = 30,704
Answer:
<em>d = 3</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Coordinate Plane
The image provided shows the four points given:
A=(2, 1), B=(5, 1), C=(7,2), D=(4,2).
It can be clearly seen the length of CD is just the difference of their x-coordinates:
CD = 7 - 4 = 3
We can also use the formula of the distance.
Given two points C(x,y) and D(w,z), the distance between them is:
d = 3
