The two numbers are 2 and 4 "or" -2 and -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • The ratio of two numbers is 1 to 2
  • The sum of their squares is 20

We need to find the numbers

Assume that the smaller number is x

∵ The ratio between the two numbers is 1 : 2

∵ The smaller one is x

By using the ratio method

→  1st    :    2nd

→   1      :    2

→   x     :     ?

By using cross multiplication

∴ 1 × ? = x × 2

∴ ? = 2x

∴ The 2nd number is 2x

∵ The sum of their squares = 20

∵ Square x = x × x = x²

∵ Square (2x) = 2x × 2x = 4x²

∴ The sum of their squares = x² + 4x² = 5x²

- Equate the sum of their squares by 20

∴ 5x² = 20

- Divide both sides by 5

∴ x² = 4

- Take √ for both sides

∴ x = ± 2

∴ The smaller number is 2 <em>OR</em> -2

∵ The larger number is 2x

∴ 2x = 2(±2) = ± 4

∴ The larger number is 4 <em>OR</em> -4

The two numbers are 2 and 4 "or" -2 and -4

Rose has 5 times as many stickers as John. They have 300 stickers in all. How many more stickers does Rose have than John? Show
kirill115 [55]

5x+x=300

6x=300

x=50

5(50)=250 (Rose)

x=50(John)

Rose has 250 stickers and John has 50, therefore Rose has 200 more stickers than John.

Hans invests $550 at a rate of x% per year compound interest. At the end of 10 years, the value of the investment is $638.30, co
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

1.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

x per cent is written as 0.01x as a decimal fraction.

638.30 = 550(1 + 0.01x)^10

(1 + 0.01x)^10 = 638.30/550

Taking logarithms:

10 ln (1 + 0.01x) = ln ( 638.30/550)

ln (1 + 0.01x) =  ln ( 638.30/550)/ 10

ln(1 + 0.01x) = 0.014889

Converting the logs:-

1 + 0.01x = e^0.014889 = 1.015

0.01x = 1 - 1.015

0.01x = 0.015

x = 0.015/ 0.01

= 1.5.

Can someone please explain to me how I'm supposed to solve 2x+y=12? Like step by step solving?
Ne4ueva [31]
Well, first put the function in slop-intercept form (y = mx + b). 2x + y = 12, y - 2x = 12 - 2x, y = -2x + 12. So y = -2x + 12 is the slope-intercept form. Then graph the function to solve for all possible solutions to the function. In y = mx + b, m is the slope and b is the y intercept. In y = -2x + 12, m equals -2, so the slope is -2, and b equals 12, so 12 is the y intercept. Make a point on the y intercept at y = 12. The slope is -2, or -2/1. The graph will be sloping downward. From the point at y = 12, move down two units and to the right one unit and make another point. Then from this new point move down two units and to the right one unit and make another point, and so on. Then to extend the graph in the other direction, start at the point y = 12 and move two units up and one unit to the right and make a point there. Then from this new point move two units up and one unit to the right and make another point there, and so on.
