Find 2 numbers, if their sum is -11 and their difference is 41

frosja888 [35]3 years ago

Answer:

  15, -26

Step-by-step explanation:

The <em>generic solution</em> to a "sum and difference" problem can be found easily. Let "a" and "b" represent the numbers you seek, and let "s" and "d" represent their sum and difference:

  a + b = s

  a - b = d

Adding these two equations tells you ...

  2a = s + d

  a = (s + d)/2 . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of a

You can find "b" several different ways. One way is to subtract the second equation from the first:

  2b = s - d

  b = (s - d)/2 . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of b

So, the second number can be found from any of ...

  • b = s - a
  • b = a - d
  • b = (s - d)/2

____

For the numbers given here, s=-11, d=41, the two numbers are ...

  a = (-11 +41)/2 = 15

  b = -11 -15 = -26

The two numbers are 15 and -26.

Find the area of the largest rectangle (with sides parallel to the coordinate axes) that can be inscribed in the region enclosed
garik1379 [7]
F(x) = 18-x^2 is a parabola having vertex at (0, 18) and opening downwards. 
g(x) = 2x^2-9 is a parabola having vertex at (0, -9) and opening upwards. 
By symmetry, let the x-coordinates of the vertices of rectangle be x and -x => its width is 2x. 
Height of the rectangle is y1 + y2, where y1 is the y-coordinate of the vertex on the parabola f and y2 is that of g.
 => Area, A 
= 2x (y1 - y2) 
= 2x (18 - x^2 - 2x^2 + 9) 
= 2x (27 - 3x^2) 
= 54x - 6x^3 
For area to be maximum, dA/dx = 0 and d²A/dx² < 0 
=> 54 - 18x^2 = 0 
=> x = √3 (note: x = - √3 gives the x-coordinate of vertex in second and third quadrants) 

d²A/dx² = - 36x < 0 for x = √3 
=> maximum area 
= 54(√3) - 6(√3)^3 
= 54√3 - 18√3 
= 36√3.

What is the simplified expression for the expression below? -1/5(5x+20)-1/4(4x-28)
e-lub [12.9K]

You need to distribute the numerical factors for each term in the parenthesis:

\dfrac{-1}{5}(5x+20)-\dfrac{1}{4}(4x-28) = \dfrac{-1}{5}\cdot 5x + \dfrac{-1}{5}\cdot 20 + \dfrac{-1}{4} \cdot 4x + \dfrac{-1}{4} \cdot (-28)

This equals

-x-4-x+7 = -2x+3
