What is 2x-3y=-1 y=x-1

Vika [28.1K]3 years ago

If you're looking for the solution to the system of equations, here's how we solve using substitution
We know that y = x - 1, so we can plug that into the first equation giving
2x - 3(x-1) = -1
Now distribute the 3 giving 2x - 3x + 3 = -1. After combining like terms we get -x + 3 = -1. Now subtract 3 from both sides, -x = -4, and multiply both sides by -1 to make x positive. x = 4
Now we can plug that into the second equation to get y
y = x - 1, and we know that x = 4, so y = 4 - 1, y = 3. The solution is (4, 3)

2x - 3y = -1
         y = x - 1

             2x - 3y = -1
     2x - 3(x - 1) = -1
2x - 3(x) + 3(1) = -1
       2x - 3x + 3 = -1
               -x + 3 = -1
                    - 3   - 3
                     -x = -4
                     -1    -1
                      x = 4

      y = x - 1
      y = 4 - 1
      y = 3
(x, y) = (4, 3)

What is the distance between the lines y = 2x and y = 2x+5? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The distance between both lines is 2.24 units

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no straight method to find the distance between two lines. The distance can be found out by finding a point on one line and then finding the distance of that point from the other line. The y-coordinate of point is obtained by putting any value of x in equation . The x and y combined give us the point.

Given

y=2x\\Putting\ x=1\\y=2(1)\\y=2\\So, the\ point\ on\ y=2x\ is\ (1,2)

We have to find the distance of this point from y=2x+5

y=2x+5\\Subtracting\ y\ from\ both\ sides\\y-y=2x+5-y\\2x-y+5=0

The formula for finding distance of a point (x,y) from a line is:

d=\frac{|Ax+By+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2}}

A=2

B=-1

C=5

Putting the values in the formula

d=\frac{|(2)(1)+(-1)(2)+5|}{\sqrt{(2)^2+(-1)^2}}\\d=\frac{|2-2+5|}{\sqrt{4+1}}\\d=\frac{|5|}{\sqrt{5}}\\d=\frac{5}{\sqrt{5}}\\d=2.236\ units

Rounding off will give: 2.24 units

The distance between both lines is 2.24 units

The number of acres a farmer uses for planting pumpkins will be at least 2 times the number of acres for planting corn. The diff
jeka94

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Let x represent acres of pumpkins, and y represent acres of corn. Here are the constraints:

  x ≥ 2y . . . . . pumpkin acres are at least twice corn acres

  x - y ≤ 10 . . . . the difference in acreage will not exceed 10

  12 ≤ x ≤ 18 . . . . pumpkin acres will be between 12 and 18

  0 ≤ y . . . . . the number of corn acres is non-negative

__

B) If we assume the objective is to maximize profit, the profit function we want to maximize is ...

  P = 360x +225y

__

C) see below for a graph

__

D) The profit for an acre of pumpkins is the highest, so the farmer should maximize that acreage. The constraint on the number of acres of pumpkins comes from the requirement that it not exceed 18 acres. Then additional profit is maximized by maximizing acres of corn, which can be at most half the number of acres of pumpkins, hence 9 acres.

So profit is maximized for 18 acres of pumpkins and 9 acres of corn.

Maximum profit is $360·18 +$225·9 = $8505.

Is 1/2 √9 *√4 rational or irrational​
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

1/2 and 9 is rational but 4 is not

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is a number that can be written as a ratio. That means it can be written as a fraction, in which both the numerator (the number on top) and the denominator (the number on the bottom) are whole numbers.

Find the length of l on the curve r(t)=5cos(3t)i-5sin(3t)j+3tk over the interval [3,7]
stealth61 [152]
\mathbf r(t)=5\cos3t\,\mathbf i-5\sin3t\,\mathbf j+3t\,\mathbf k
\mathrm d\mathbf r(t)=\mathbf r'(t)\,\mathrm dt=(-15\sin3t\,\mathbf i-15\cos3t\,\mathbf j+3\,\mathbf k)\,\mathrm dt

\displaystyle\int_C\mathrm d\mathbf r(t)=\int_{t=3}^{t=7}\|\mathbf r'(t)\,\mathrm dt\|=\int_{t=3}^{t=7}\sqrt{225\sin^23t+225\cos^23t+9}\,\mathrm dt
=\displaystyle3\sqrt{26}\int_{t=3}^{t=7}\mathrm dt
=12\sqrt{26}
