Answer:

a = 1, b = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The points that lie on the curve and straight line satisfy the corresponding equations.

Substitute the points into their corresponding equations, that is

(1, - 1 ) → - a = 1² + b = 1 + b ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

a = - 1 - b → (1)

(3, 3 ) → \frac{-3b}{2} = \frac{3}{a} ( cross- multiply )

- 3ab = 6 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

ab = - 2 → (2)

Substitute a = - 1 - b into (2)

(- 1 - b)b = - 2 , distribute left side

- b - b² = - 2 ( multiply through by - 1 )

b² + b = 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

b² + b - 2 = 0 ← in standard form

(b + 2)(b - 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for b

b + 2 = 0 ⇒ b = - 2

b - 1 = 0 ⇒ b = 1

Substitute these values into (1) for corresponding values of a

b = - 2 : a = - 1 - (- 2) = - 1 + 2 = 1

b = 1 : a = - 1 - 1 = - 2

Thus a = - 2, b = 1 or a = 1, b = - 2

Given that a > b then a = 1, b = - 2

Plz help with this math. Can't find the area of the triangular faces.
Zina [86]
First of all, you have to find the area of both triangles:
\frac{bh}{2}
\frac{4*4}{2}
Or just 16 because there are 2 of the same triangles.

Now you have to find the area of the 3 rectangles.

The two that are in the front are 4*3 (l*h) or 12*2 (because there are 2 congruent rectangles. The area of those rectangles is 24 square mm.

Now you find the area of the back rectangle:
5.7*3 = 17.1

Finally, you add all the found numbers to figure out the surface area.
17.1 + 16 + 24 = 57.1 square millimeters.

Hope this helped,

The answer is 18. Just take the number that comes later and simply subtract from the original number. EXAMPLE- 138-120=18. Hope this helps.
