X − y = 12 x + 2y = 21

Mathematics
1 answer:
olga55 [171]2 years ago
5 0

Answer: x=15, y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting the two equations, we get -3y=-9, meaning y=3.

Substituting this into the first equation, we get that x-3=12, and thus, x=15.

Determine whether the statement is true or false. If f and g are positive increasing functions on an interval I, then fg is incr
Leno4ka [110]

Answer: false

Step-by-step explanation:

If f and g are increasing on I, this implies that f' > 0 on I and g' > 0 on I. That is both f' and g' have a positive slope. However,

Using product rule;

(fg)' = fd(g) + gd(f)

(fg)' = f * g' + f' * g

and although it is given that g' and f' are both positive we don't have any information about the sign of the values of the functions themselves(f and g). Therefore, if at least one of the functions has negative values there is the possibility that the derivative of the product will be negative. For example;

f = x, g = 5x on I = (-5, -2)

f' = 1 and g' =5 both greater than 0

f and g are both lines with positive slopes therefore they are increasing, but f * g = 5x^2 is decreasing on I.

–6 (b+3) = -8b +5 What value of b makes the equation true?​
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

b = -5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

- 6 (b + 3)= - 8 + 5

- 6b - 18= - 3

- 6b= - 3 + 18

- 6b= 15

b= - 15/6

b= - 5/2

If the simple interest on $5,000 for 4 years is $1,600, then what is the interest rate?
matrenka [14]

Answer:

0.08, or 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

The appropriate formula is i = p*r*t, where p is the principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, and t is the time in years.

We want to calculate r when i, p and t are known.

                                                           i

Solving i = p*r*t for r, we get r = ------------

                                                       p*t

The interest rate in this case is

        $1600

r = ---------------- = 0.08, or 8%

      $5000*4
