The larger number is 32 and the smaller number is 28 given that one number is 4 more than another and their sum is 60. This can be obtained by forming algebraic equation and finding

<h3>Calculate the value of the numbers:</h3>

Given that one number is 4 more than another,

⇒x = y + 4              (equation (1))

Their sum is 60,

⇒x + y = 60

y + 4 + y = 60      (From (1))

2y + 4 = 60

2y = 56 ⇒ y = 28

x = y + 4 = 28 + 4 = 32

Hence the larger number is 32 and the smaller number is 28 given that one number is 4 more than another and their sum is 60.

19. When the members of a high school club are
Korvikt [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

 B.  25 people

Step-by-step explanation:

The remainders tell you the number will be 1 more than some multiple of the least common multiple (LCM) of 2, 3, and 4. The LCM is 3·4 = 12, so we want some multiple (n) of that such that 12n+1 is a multiple of 5. We know this is the case for n=2.

The least number of people who could be in the club is 2·12+1 = 25.

Fit a quadratic function to these three points: (-2,8)(0,-4),and (4,68)
aev [14]
Given three points
P1(-2,8)
P2(0,-4)
P3(4,68)
We need the quadratic equation that passes through all three points.

Solution:
We first assume the final equation to be
f(x)=ax^2+bx+c .............................(0)

Observations:
1. Points are not symmetric, so cannot find vertex visually.
2. Using the point (0,-4) we substitute x=0 into f(x) to get
f(0)=0+0+c=-4, hence c=-4.
3. We will use the two other points (P1 & P3) to set up a system of two equations to find a and b.
f(-2)=a(-2)^2+b(-2)-4=8 => 4a-2b-4=8.................(1)
f(4)=a(4^2)+b(4)-4=68 =>  16a+4b-4=68.............(2)
4. Solve system
2(1)+(2) => 24a+0b-12=84 => 24a=96 => a=96/24 => a=4 ......(3)
substitute (3) in (2) => 16(4)+4b-4=68 => b=8/4 => b=2  ..........(4)
5. Put values c=-4, a=4, b=2 into equation (0) to get

f(x)=4x^2+2x-4

Check:
f(-2)=4((-2)^2)+2(-2)-4=16-4-4=8
f(0)=0+0-4 = -4
f(4)=4(4^2)+2(4)-4=64+8-4=68
So all consistent, => solution ok.
