The sum of two numbers is 72 and their difference is 40. Using elimination method

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

here's what we know:

a + b = 72

a - b = 26

We can use the elimination method to solve this problem:

a + b = 72

a - b = 26

---------------

2a = 98

Divide both sides by 2:

a = 49

So we now have:

49 + b = 72

and:

49 - b = 26

Subtract 49 from both sides:

b = 23

and

-b = -23 (multiply both sides by -1) → b = 23

CALCULATE THE AVERAGE RATE OF CHANGE OF THIS POLYNOMIAL ON THE
INTERVAL (-1.1)

Answers

Answer:

  -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of function f(x) on the interval [a, b] is ...

  m = (f(b) -f(a))/(b -a)

We have ...

  f(-1) = (-1)^5 -2(-1) +3 = -1 +2 +3 = 4

  f(1) = (1)^5 -2(1) +3 = 1 -2 +3 = 2

Then the average rate of change is ...

  m = (2 -4)/(1 -(-1)) = -2/2 = -1

The average rate of change on the given interval is -1.

Answers

Answer:

(x, y)

(-1, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]-20x=-16-9y\\-14x=-22-9y[/tex]

Solve by elimination, subtract the 2nd row from the 1st row:

[tex](-20x-(-14x))=(-16-(-22))+(-9y-(-9y))\\(-20x+14x)=(-16+22)+(-9y+9y)\\-6x=6[/tex]

Solve for x in the equation above

[tex]-6x=6\\x=-1[/tex]

Now we have the value of X, substitute it into any of the 2 original equations:

[tex]-20x=-16-9y\\-20(-1)=-16-9y[/tex]

Solve for y:

[tex]-20(-1)=-16-9y\\20=-16-9y\\36=-9y\\-4=y\\y=-4[/tex]

Well I’m not sure if I know how explain this mathematically but what I think happens is Josè is putting 150 dollars in and earning 3% interest quarterly instead of by the year, meaning his money is increasing more often then Janell, who only gets interest every year.

The rise is how many units we move up or down; the run is how many units we move left or right.

Here, we move down 2 and over 1, so the slope is -2

Now, the y-intercept is where the graph touches the y-axis.

find the formula for a function of the form y=ae^(-x)+bx with global minimum at (1,10).

Answers

The formula for a function of the form [tex]y = a\cdot e^{-x} + b\cdot x[/tex] with global minimum at [tex](1, 10)[/tex] is [tex]y = 5\cdot e^{1-x}+5\cdot x[/tex].

We can use first and second derivative tests to determine all coefficients of the function described in statement so that the point given is an absolute minimum. The expressions for such tests are introduced below:

FDT

[tex]-a\cdot e^{-x}+b = 0[/tex] (1)

[tex]b = a\cdot e^{-x}[/tex]

SDT

[tex]y''=a\cdot e^{-x}[/tex] (2)

Where [tex]y'' > 0[/tex].

If we know that [tex](x, y) = (1, 10)[/tex], then we have the following system:

[tex]10 = a\cdot e^{-1}+b[/tex] (3)

[tex]b = a\cdot e^{-1}[/tex] (4)

[tex]y'' = a\cdot e^{-1}[/tex] (5)

By (4) in (3):

[tex]10 = 2\cdot a\cdot e^{-1}[/tex]

[tex]a = \frac{10}{2\cdot e^{-1}}[/tex]

[tex]a = 5\cdot e[/tex]

By (5) we prove that [tex]y'' > 0[/tex], and we get the value of [tex]b[/tex] by (4):

[tex]b = 5[/tex]

Thus, the formula for a function of the form [tex]y = a\cdot e^{-x} + b\cdot x[/tex] with global minimum at [tex](1, 10)[/tex] is [tex]y = 5\cdot e^{1-x}+5\cdot x[/tex].

This image shows that when a football is kicked, the nearest defensive player is 6 feet from the kicker’s foot. The height of the punted football, f(x), in feet, can be modeled by the equation. Round all answers to 2 decimals. ()=−0.0152 +1.25+2 a. (2 points) What is the maximum height of the punt?

Answers

Using the vertex, it is found that the maximum height of the punt is of 27.7 feet.

The height of the punt, after x seconds, is given by:

[tex]f(x) = -0.0152x^2 + 1.25x + 2[/tex]

It is a quadratic equation with coefficients [tex]a = -0.0152, b = 1.25, c = 2[/tex].

The maximum value is the value of the function at the vertex, hence:

[tex]f_V = -\frac{\Delta}{4a} = -\frac{b^2 - 4ac}{4a}[/tex]

Applying the coefficients:

[tex]f_V = -\frac{b^2 - 4ac}{4a} = -\frac{(1.25)^2 - 4(-0.0152)(2)}{4(-0.0152)} = 27.7[/tex]

The maximum height of the punt is of 27.7 feet.

Answer:

After reviewing the question you posted I have deduced that the correct answers are:

11) Max has $10.00. He earns $25.75 per lawn that he mows.

12) No. She is wrong. She did not group like terms correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

11)

For 11) I first identified the independent variable of the equation, being "10".

And then the dependent variable of the equation, being "25.75". (The dependent variable of an equation will always be affected by the x)

I then looked at all the possible answers to see which one shared a independent variable of "10" and a dependent variable of "25.75".

The only possible answer that matches is Max has $10.00. He earns $25.75 per lawn that he mows.

This is because the only two possible answers that have "10" being a variable that does not change (independent variable) are:

--- "Max has $10.00. He earns $25.75 per lawn that he mows.

--- "Jon buys 10 toycars for $25.75 each"

However!

"Jon buys 10 toycars for $25.75 each" is an incorrect answer because it uses "10", although independent, as the x variable that affects the independent variable of "25.75".

12)

To find the correct answer for this question I simplified the equation from:

8t-15+3t   =   11m-15

Into:

8t+3t-15   =   11m-15

Which further simplifies into:

11t-15   =   11m-15

Which then you can notice that the two equations are similiar indeed, however they do not share like terms. One equation has "t" as their term, and the other as "m" as their term. Thus they do not share any like terms and are not equivalent.

What is 50% of 35 like simplified

Answers

Answer:

It can't get more simple than that (*nose growing*)

Step-by-step explanation:

50% of 35 means 35 is 100% right? 50 is half of 100. So 50% of 35 will be half of 35, agree? So you multiply by crossing

35 = 100%

x = 50%

100 * x = 35 * 50 (do this math, you can multiply 35 by 5 then add 0)

100x = 1750

x = 1750 / 100

x = 17,5

Is 17,5 half of 35? You could have also done 35 / 2. It would be the same result because 50% is an easy percentage to work with.
