Answer:

one number = 3 ; other number = 6

(x = 3 ; y = 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

here is the written problem in an algebraic form:

(x is one number, y is the other number)

x = y - 3 {"if one number is 3 subtracted from the other..."}

x + y = 9 {"The sum of two numbers is 9"}

substitute [x = y-3] into [x + y =9]

x + y = 9 ; {x = y - 3}

(y - 3) + y = 9 [substitute known x-value into equation]

y - 3 + y = 9

+ 3 + 3 [add 3 to isolate y]

2y = 12

÷2 ÷2 [divide by 2 to find y]

y = 6

Now, by plugging our y-value (6) into one of the equations:

x + y = 9

x + 6 = 9 [substitute the y-value, which we know is 6]

-6 -6

x = 3

so, one number is 3, and the other number is 6

X, y - the numbers
The sum of the two numbers is 9.
1+4=9
If one number is subtracted from the other, the
result is 3.
- 4=3
Solve the system of equations:
2+y
9
- I
= 3
2.1
+ =6
+y=9
6+4=9 1-6
4 =
- 3
The numbers are 6 and 3.

which functions have a range of all real numbers ? check all that apply. A. y=csc x B. y=sec x C. y=tan x D. y= cot x

Natalka [10]

None of these. All of these functions are defined as ratio of trigonometric functions.

Trigonometric functions have infinite zeroes, so when you put them in the denominator, they lead to infinitely many points of ill-definition.

Specifically, we have:

$\csc(x) = \dfrac{1}{\sin(x)}$

which is undefined at

$\sin(x)=0\iff x=k\pi, k\in\mathbb{Z}$

$\sec(x) = \dfrac{1}{\cos(x)}$

which is undefined at

$\cos(x)=0\iff x=\dfrac{\pi}{2}+k\pi, k\in\mathbb{Z}$

$\tan(x) = \dfrac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$

which is undefined at

$\cos(x)=0\iff x=\dfrac{\pi}{2}+k\pi, k\in\mathbb{Z}$

$\cot(x) = \dfrac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}$

which is undefined at

$\sin(x)=0\iff x=k\pi, k\in\mathbb{Z}$

Find X (Its a circle question, PLEASE HELP)

mario62 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since angles in the same segment are equal, Angle ABC (x) = Angle AOC.

Since Angles AOC and COD are supplementary, Angle AOC = 180° - 130° = 50°

Therefore x = 50°.
