Y * x = 20 y + x = 9 what numbers are y and x equal to?

1 answer:

4 0

$y = 9 - x$
Substitute into
$y \times x = 20 \\ (9 - x) \times x = 20 \\ { - x}^{2} + 9x = 20 \\ {x}^{2} - 9x + 20 = 0 \\ (x - 5)(x -4) = 0 \\ x = 5 \: or \: x = 4$
When x = 5,
$y = 9 - 5 \\ y = 4$
When x = 4,
$y = 9 - 4 \\ y = 5$

x = 5, y = 4
x = 4, y = 5

Answer:

a) TO = OP = 13

b) Height = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Isosceles triangle TOP with base TP = 10 cm, side TO = OP = x cm.

Perimeter of triangle TOP = 36 cm

=> TO + OP + TP = 36

=> x + x + 10 = 36

=> 2x = 26

=> x = 13

=> TO = OP = 13 cm.

b) Apply Pythagorean theorem:

height^2 + (base/2)^2 = side^2 (height^2 + (TP/2)^2 = TO^2)

height^2 + (10/2)^2 = 13^2

height^2 + 25 = 169

height^2 = 144

height = 12

Hope this helps!

A polynomial expression is shown below.

tester [92]

The polynomial is (mx^3+3)(2x²+5x+2)-(8x^5 +20x^4)
if it is reduced to 8x^3+6x²+15x+6, so we can find the value of m

(mx^3+3)(2x²+5x+2)-(8x^5+20x^4) = 8x^3+6x²+15x+6
2mx^5+5mx^4+2mx^3+6x²+15x+6-8x^5-20x^4=8x^3+6x²+15x+6
2mx^5+5mx^4+2mx^3=8x^3+6x²+15x+6-6x²-15x-6+ 8x^5+20x^4
= 8x^5+20x^4+8x^3= 4(2x^5+5x^4+2x^3)
finally

m(2x^5+5x^4+2x^3)=4(2x^5+5x^4+2x^3), and after simplification

C: m=4

4. When the expression is factored x²-3x-18 completely,

one of its factor is x-6
x²-3x-18=0
D= 9-4(-18)= 81, sqrtD=9 x=3-9/2= -6/2= -3, and x=3+9 / 2= 6
so x²-3x-18= (x-6)(x+6)
