Solve the simultaneous equation 2x + 3y = 7 3x + 2y = 8​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Verdich [7]1 year ago

Answer:

(2, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 7 → (1)

3x + 2y = 8 → (2)

multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by - 2 and adding will eliminate x

6x + 9y = 21 → (3)

- 6x - 4y = - 16 → (4)

add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x

0 + 5y = 5

5y = 5 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = 1

substitute y = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

substituting into (1)

2x + 3(1) = 7

2x + 3 = 7 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

solution is (2, 1 )

How can we use the graph of a logarithmic function to​ verify the domain of a function?PLEASE HELP
guajiro [1.7K]
The function y = log 2 x has the domain of set of positive real numbers and the range of set of real numbers. Remember that since the logarithmic function is the inverse of the exponential function, the domain of logarithmic function is the range of exponential function, and vice versa.

Set up and evaluate the optimization problems. (Enter your answers as comma-separated lists.) Find two positive integers such th
alexira [117]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be two positive integers and their sum is 14:

X + y = 14

And the sum of square of this number is:

f = x2 + y2

 = x2+ (14 – x)2

Differentiate with respect to x, we get:

F’(x) = [ x2 + (14 – x)2]’ = 0

        2x + 2(14-x)(-1) = 0

        2x +( 28 – 2x)(-1) = 0

     2x – 28 +2x = 0

        2x + 2x = 28

         4x = 28

       X = 7

Hence, y = 14 – x = 14 -7 = 7

Now taking second derivative test:

F”(x) > 0

For x = y = 7,f reaches its maximum value:

(7)2 + (7)2 = 49 + 49

                   = 98

F at endpoints x Є [ 0, 14]

F(0) = 02 + (14 – 0)2

       =  196

F(14) = (14)2 + (14 – 14)2

  = 196

Hence the sum of squares of these numbers is minimum when x = y = 7

And maximum when numbers are 0 and 14.
