Jarred sells DVDs. His inventory shows that he has a total of 3,500 DVDs. He has 2,342 more contemporary titles than classic tit

les. Let x represent the number of contemporary titles and y represent the number of classic titles. The system of equations models the given information for both types of DVDs.
x + y = 3,500

x – y = 2,342

The number of contemporary titles and classic titles in Jarred DVDs collection is 2,921 and 579 respectively.

<h3>Simultaneous equation</h3>

Simultaneous equation is an equation which involves the solving for two unknown values at the same time.

number of contemporary titles = x
number of classic titles = y

x + y = 3,500

x – y = 2,342

Add both be equation

x + x = 3,500 + 2,342

2x = 5,842

x = 5,842 ÷ 2

x = 2,921

Substitute x = 2,921 into

x – y = 2,342

2,921 - y = 2, 342

-y = 2,342 - 2,921

-y = -579

y = 579

Therefore, the number of contemporary titles and classic titles in Jarred DVDs collection is 2,921 and 579 respectively.

A right-angled triangle has shorter side lengths exactly c^2-b^2 and 2bc units respectively, where b and c are positive real num

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer: hypotenuse = $c^{2} + b^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation: Pythagorean theorem states that square of hypotenuse (h) equals the sum of squares of each side ( $s_{1},s_{2}$ ) of the right triangle, .i.e.:

$h^{2} = s_{1}^{2} + s_{2}^{2}$

In this question:

$s_{1}$ = $c^{2}-b^{2}$

$s_{2} =$ 2bc

Substituing and taking square root to find hypotenuse:

$h=\sqrt{(c^{2}-b^{2})^{2}+(2bc)^{2}}$

Calculating:

$h=\sqrt{c^{4}+b^{4}-2b^{2}c^{2}+(4b^{2}c^{2})}$

$h=\sqrt{c^{4}+b^{4}+2b^{2}c^{2}}$

$c^{4}+b^{4}+2b^{2}c^{2}$ = $(c^{2}+b^{2})^{2}$ , then:

$h=\sqrt{(c^{2}+b^{2})^{2}}$

$h=(c^{2}+b^{2})$

Hypotenuse for the right-angled triangle is $h=(c^{2}+b^{2})$ units

Which will be the effect on the vertex of the parabola y = 4x2 + 1, if the equation is changed to y = -4x2 + 1?

The Gradient would be negative therefore making it start by going down then up, making a sad mouth. the x intercepts will be the same. Frankly it just flipped upside down. I remember it like if the gradient is positive then happy smile, if its negative then sad smile. Hope I helped.
