Find the solution by graphing the system of equations.A tour group split into two groups when waiting in line for food at a fast food counter. The first group bought 6 slices of pizza and 5 soft drinks for $27.52. The second group bought 5 slices of pizza and 4 soft drinks for $22.64. We can represent this situation with the system of equations 6p + 5s = 27.52 5p + 4s = 22.64where p is the cost of a slice of pizza and s is the cost of a soft drink. Determine the cost of one slice of pizza.

A. $2.26 per slice of pizza
B. $3.12 per slice of pizza
C. $1.76 per slice of pizza
D. $2.62 per slice of pizza

Solve the problem.A person coughs when a foreign object is in the windpipe. The velocity of the cough depends on the size of the object. Suppose a person has a windpipe with a  radius. If a foreign object has a radius r, in mm, assume that the velocity V, in mm/second, needed to remove the object by a cough is given byV(r) = k(23r2 - r3), 0 ? r ? 23, where k is some positive constant. For what size object is the maximum velocity needed to remove the object? Round answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.
