Answer: 2±√3 and 1/(2±√3)

This might seem wrong, but you'll understand when you read the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you can write 2 equations to find the two numbers. Let's establish x for the first number and y for the second number.

Equation 1:

x+y=4

This equation comes from the problem that says the 2 numbers add up to 4.

Equation 2:

x*y=1

This equation comes from the part that says multiplies to 1.

Even if the problem states that the numbers can be negative, it is tricking us. We know in order for the product of 2 numbers to be positive, it has to be +*+ or -*-. Since the added numbers have to be +4, we know we cannot use -1 and 1 as our answer. What we can do is to use substitution to solve for x and y.

x+y=4 becomes y=4-x

We can substitute this into equation 2.

x(4-x)=1

4x-x²=1

4x-x²-1=0

-x²+4x-1=0

Since this equation is not factorable, we use the quadratic equation, $\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ (<em>Please ignore the weird looking A that's in front of the ± sign. I don't know what's wrong with the system, but it's not supposed to be there)</em>

We plug our a, b, c into the equation and get x=2±√3.

Now that we know our x, we can plug it into any of the above equations.

(2±√3)(y)=1

y=1/(2±√3)

Our final 2 numbers are 2±√3 and 1/(2±√3)

Consider the functions f and g defined by \[f(x) = \sqrt{\dfrac{x+1}{x-1}}\qquad\qquad\text{and}\qquad\qquad g(x) = \dfrac{\sqrt

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

The given functions are not same because the domain of both functions are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given functions are

$f(x)= \sqrt{\dfrac{x+1}{x-1}}$

$g(x) = \dfrac{\sqrt{x+1}}{\sqrt{x-1}}$

First find the domain of both functions. Radicand can not be negative.

Domain of f(x):

$\dfrac{x+1}{x-1}>0$

This is possible if both numerator or denominator are either positive or negative.

Case 1: Both numerator or denominator are positive.

$x+1\geq 0\Rightarrow x\geq -1$

$x-1\geq 0\Rightarrow x\geq 1$

So, the function is defined for x≥1.

Case 2: Both numerator or denominator are negative.

$x+1\leq 0\Rightarrow x\leq -1$

$x-1\leq 0\Rightarrow x\leq 1$

So, the function is defined for x≤-1.

From case 1 and 2 the domain of the function f(x) is (-∞,-1]∪[1,∞).

Domain of g(x):

$x+1\geq 0\Rightarrow x\geq -1$

$x-1\geq 0\Rightarrow x\geq 1$

So, the function is defined for x≥1.

So, domain of g(x) is [1,∞).

Therefore, the given functions are not same because the domain of both functions are different.

the minute hand of a clock is 5 inches long. what is the area of the circle, in square inches, created in a hand sweep in an hou

ira [324]

Solve the area of the whole circle since in an hour, the minute hand covers the whole clock
assuming that the minute hand reaches all the way out to the edge of the clock

the minute hand is the radius
area=pi times r^2
r=5
5^2=25
area=pi times 25
area=25pi

aprox pi=3.14
25 times 2.14=78.5

area=78.5 in^2

Taya2010 [7]

Answer: Elijah would be 42 inches tall

Step-by-step explanation:

We all know that Samuel is 48 inches while Elijah is 6 inches shorter.

You subtract 6 from 48 to get 42.

Hopefully, this helped. :D

Simplify the expression <br> 7y+3x+3-2y+6

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

5y + 3x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever something is multiplied by the same variable, you can combine the coefficients. In this case, first you'd move the values with the same variable next to each other, for simplicity:

7y-2y+3x+3+6

Then, combine like terms.

5y+3x+3+6

5y+3x+9
