Answer:

8 and 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two unknown numbers be a and b.

When added together, they equal 17. In other words:

a + b = 17.

The <em>difference</em> between five times the first number and three times the second number is 13. In other words:

5a - 3b = 13.

We have a system of equations. We can use substitution. From the first equation, we can derive a = 17 - b. Let's substitute this in:

5(17 - b) - 3b = 13

85 - 5b - 3b = 13

-8b = -72

b = 9

a = 17 - b.

a = 17 - 9 = 8.

Thus, the two numbers are 8 and 9.

Need help with Algebra 2! Thank you! :)
Olin [163]

Answer:

Consider the parent logarithm function f(x) = log(x)

Now,

Let us make transformations in the function f(x) to get the function g(x)

•On streching the graph of f(x) = log(x) , vertically by a factor of 3, the graph of y = 3log(x) is obtained.

•Now, shrinking the graph of y = 3log(x) horizontally by a fctor of 2 to get the grpah of y = 3log(x/2) i.e the graph of g(x)

Hence, the function g(x) after the parent function f(x) = log(x) undergoes a vertical stretch by a factor of 3, and a horizontal shrink by a factor of 2 is

g(x) = 3 log(x/2) (Option-B).

Find the missing side lengths. Leave your answers in simplest radical form.
saveliy_v [14]
ANSWER:
d. x = 15, y= 15√3

EXPLANATION:
This is a special triangle, more specifically a 30-60-90 degree triangle. For sake of not confusing x and y, we will use z to use as our reference for solving this triangle. The side lengths for each angle are as follows:
• 60 degrees = z√3
- this is the value for your y answer
• 30 degrees = z
- this is the value for your x answer
• Hypotenuse = 2z
- this is what we already have

We solve for what we already have which is the Hypotenuse = 30:
2x = 30
x = 15

We now have our x value which is 15.
Now we just plug in that x value for every expression for every angle.

x = 15
y = 15√3

Sorry if I explained it too thoroughly but I’ll be glad to answer any questions or clarifications

Find the standard equation of the parabola that satisfies the given conditions. Also, find the length of the latus rectum of eac
lakkis [162]

Answer:

The standard parabola

                                y² = -18 x +27

Length of Latus rectum = 4 a = 18

                         

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation:-</em></u>

Given focus : (-3 ,0) ,directrix  : x=6

Let P(x₁ , y₁) be the point on parabola

PM perpendicular to the the directrix L

                          SP² = PM²

                (x₁ +3)²+(y₁-0)²  = (\frac{x_{1}-6 }{\sqrt{1} } )^{2}

              x₁²+6 x₁ +9 + y₁² = x₁²-12 x₁ +36

                          y₁² = -18 x₁ +36 -9

                           y₁² = -18 x₁ +27

The standard parabola

                                y² = -18 x +27

    Length of Latus rectum = 4 a = 4 (18/4) = 18
