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.

what is an equation for the line that passes through (-1,-4) and (1,4)? Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
hichkok12 [17]
To find the slope use the formula Y2-Y1 --------- X2-X1 (-1,-4) (1,4) 4- -4 = 8 ------------- 1- -1 = 2 8/2=4 This will be your slope Y=4x Now we must figure out the y-intercept using the formula Y-y1=slope(x-x1) Y- -4= 4(x- -1) Y+4= 4x + 4 The 4 distributes to the x and -1 Y=4x +4 -4 Y= 4x This is your answer in slope intercept form. P.S if you have a number minus a negative number it makes it a positive number

A ladder is leaning against the side of a building and positioned such that the base of the ladder is 17 ft from the base of the
andrezito [222]

Answer:

The ladder is 28.6 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of base = 17 feet

Length above the ground = 23 feet

These forms two legs of right angled triangle.

The length of ladder will be the hypotenuse.

Using Pythagorean theorem;

a^2+b^2=c^2\\(17)^2 + (23)^2 = c^2 \\289 + 529 = c^2 \\c^2 = 818

Taking square root on both sides

\sqrt{c^2}=\sqrt{818}\\c=28.6

Hence,

The ladder is 28.6 feet long.
