The sum of two numbers is

2 answers:

6 0

Answer:
The larger number is 60
The smaller number is 14

Explanation:
Assume that the larger number is x and that the smaller number id y.

We are given that:
1- The sum of the two numbers is 74. This means that:
x + y = 74
This equation can be rewritten as:
x = 74 - y .............> I
2- Four times the smaller number (4y) subtracted from the larger number (x), the result would be 4. This means that:
x - 4y = 4 ..............> II

Substitute with I in II and solve for y as follows:
x - 4y = 4
74 - y - 4y = 4
74 - 5y = 4
5y = 70
y = 70/5
y = 14

Substitute with the value of y in equation I to get x as follows:
x = 74 - y
x = 74 - 14
x = 60

Hope this helps :)

Let x represent the smaller number. Then the larger number is 4x+4, and their total is
.. x +(4x+4) = 74
.. 5x = 70 . . . . . . . subtract 4
.. x = 14 . . . . . . . . . divide by 5
.. 4x +4 = 4*14+4 = 60 . . . . . substitute into the expression for the larger number

The larger number is 60.
The smaller number is 14.

5% of what number is 3.5

madam [21]

To find the total of a percentage of a number you would multiply the number by the given percentage so in order to find the number that the percentage was found with you would divide the percentage with the percentage found from the number.... 3.5/5% which should come out to be 70. To check you multiply 70 by 5% and get 3.5

You and your friend live 5 mi apart. He says that it is 5 mi from his house to your house and -5 mi from your house to his house

Igoryamba

You cant have -5 mi, the distance doesn't change. It is still 5 mi from his house to your house and vice versa.

Find equations of the spheres with center(3, −4, 5) that touch the following planes.a. xy-plane b. yz- plane c. xz-plane

postnew [5]

Answer:

(a) (x - 3)² + (y + 4)² + (z - 5)² = 25

(b) (x - 3)² + (y + 4)² + (z - 5)² = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a sphere is given by:

(x - x₀)² + (y - y₀)² + (z - z₀)² = r² ---------------(i)

Where;

(x₀, y₀, z₀) is the center of the sphere

r is the radius of the sphere

Given:

Sphere centered at (3, -4, 5)

=> (x₀, y₀, z₀) = (3, -4, 5)

(a) To get the equation of the sphere when it touches the xy-plane, we do the following:

i. Since the sphere touches the xy-plane, it means the z-component of its centre is 0.

Therefore, we have the sphere now centered at (3, -4, 0).

Using the distance formula, we can get the distance d, between the initial points (3, -4, 5) and the new points (3, -4, 0) as follows;

$d = \sqrt{(3-3)^2+ (-4 - (-4))^2 + (0-5)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(3-3)^2+ (-4 + 4)^2 + (0-5)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(0)^2+ (0)^2 + (-5)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(25)}$

d = 5

This distance is the radius of the sphere at that point. i.e r = 5

Now substitute this value r = 5 into the general equation of a sphere given in equation (i) above as follows;

(x - 3)² + (y - (-4))² + (z - 5)² = 5²

(x - 3)² + (y + 4)² + (z - 5)² = 25

Therefore, the equation of the sphere when it touches the xy plane is:

(x - 3)² + (y + 4)² + (z - 5)² = 25

(b) To get the equation of the sphere when it touches the yz-plane, we do the following:

i. Since the sphere touches the yz-plane, it means the x-component of its centre is 0.

Therefore, we have the sphere now centered at (0, -4, 5).

Using the distance formula, we can get the distance d, between the initial points (3, -4, 5) and the new points (0, -4, 5) as follows;

$d = \sqrt{(0-3)^2+ (-4 - (-4))^2 + (5-5)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(-3)^2+ (-4 + 4)^2 + (5-5)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (0)^2+ (0)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(9)}$

d = 3

This distance is the radius of the sphere at that point. i.e r = 3

Now substitute this value r = 3 into the general equation of a sphere given in equation (i) above as follows;

(x - 3)² + (y - (-4))² + (z - 5)² = 3²

(x - 3)² + (y + 4)² + (z - 5)² = 9

Therefore, the equation of the sphere when it touches the yz plane is:

(x - 3)² + (y + 4)² + (z - 5)² = 9

(b) To get the equation of the sphere when it touches the xz-plane, we do the following:

i. Since the sphere touches the xz-plane, it means the y-component of its centre is 0.

Therefore, we have the sphere now centered at (3, 0, 5).

Using the distance formula, we can get the distance d, between the initial points (3, -4, 5) and the new points (3, 0, 5) as follows;

$d = \sqrt{(3-3)^2+ (0 - (-4))^2 + (5-5)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(3-3)^2+ (0+4)^2 + (5-5)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(0)^2 + (4)^2+ (0)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(16)}$

d = 4

This distance is the radius of the sphere at that point. i.e r = 4

Now substitute this value r = 4 into the general equation of a sphere given in equation (i) above as follows;

(x - 3)² + (y - (-4))² + (z - 5)² = 4²

(x - 3)² + (y + 4)² + (z - 5)² = 16

Therefore, the equation of the sphere when it touches the xz plane is:

(x - 3)² + (y + 4)² + (z - 5)² = 16
