Answer:

x=2, y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the equations:

4x=y

1/4x+1/y=1/4

---------------------

1/y+1/y=1/4

2/y=1/4

cross product

y*1=2*4

y=8

4x=8

x=8/4=2

What is 720° converted to radians? <br> a) 1/4<br> b) pi/4<br> c) 4/pi<br> d) 4pi

4π radians

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

We provide an angle of 720° that will be instantly converted to radians.

Recognize these:

$\boxed{ \ 1 \ revolution = 360 \ degrees = 2 \pi \ radians \ }$
$\boxed{ \ 0.5 \ revolutions = 180 \ degrees = \pi \ radians \ }$

From the conversion previous we can produce the formula as follows:

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ Radians = degrees \times \bigg( \frac{\pi }{180^0} \bigg) \ }}$
$\boxed{\boxed{ \ Degrees = radians \times \bigg( \frac{180^0}{\pi } \bigg) \ }}$

We can state the following:

Degrees to radians, multiply by $\frac{\pi }{180^0}$
Radians to degrees, multiply by $\frac{180^0}{\pi }$

Given α = 720°. Let us convert this degree to radians.

$\boxed{ \ \alpha = 720^0 \times \frac{\pi }{180^0} \ }$

720° and 180° crossed out. They can be divided by 180°.

$\boxed{ \ \alpha = 4 \times \pi \ }$

Hence, $\boxed{\boxed{ \ 720^0 = 4 \pi \ radians \ }}$

<u>Another example:</u>

Convert $\boxed{ \ \frac{4}{3} \pi \ radians \ }$ to degrees.

$\alpha = \frac{4}{3} \pi \ radians \rightarrow \alpha = \frac{4}{3} \pi \times \frac{180^0}{\pi }$

180° and 3 crossed out. Likewise with π.

Thus, $\boxed{\boxed{ \ \frac{4}{3} \pi \ radians = 240^0 \ }}$

Write an equation in slope-intercept form from the linear inequality graphed in the picture.

stepladder [879]

Answer:

equation: y = x+3
inequality: y < x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line is 1 unit of rise for 1 unit of run, so ...

m = rise/run = 1/1 = 1

The y-intercept is 3 grid lines above the x-axis, so is (0, 3).

Then the equation of the line is ...

y = 1x +3

The inequality has that line as a boundary, but the y-values on the line are not part of the solution space. Only y-values below the line (less than those on the line) are in the solution. The inequality is ...

y < x +3
