To get the x-intercept, we simply set y = 0 and solve for "x".

now, we have the slope and the y-intercept, well, let's plug those two in the slope-intercept form, reason why is called that anyway,

$\bf y=\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{1}{2}}x\stackrel{y-intercept}{-2}\implies 0=-\cfrac{x}{2}-2\implies \cfrac{x}{2}=-2\implies x=-4$

The age of father is a two digit number. If 5 is added to the double of the digit in the tenth place of father's age will be the

yuradex [85]

Answer:

The father is 50 and his son is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Double the tens digit of the father's age = 10

Plus 5 = 15 (the age of the son)

50 + 15 = 65 (the sum of their ages)

The reverse of the digits of the son's age is 51.

Subtract 1 = 50 (the age of the father)

Answer:

$f(x,y)=2x^2+4y^2+2xy=C_1\\\\Where\\\\y(x)=\frac{1}{4} (-x\pm \sqrt{-7x^2+C_1} )$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

$M(x,y)=4x+2y\\\\and\\\\N(x,y)=2x+8y$

This is and exact equation, because:

$\frac{\partial M(x,y)}{\partial y} =2=\frac{\partial N}{\partial x}$

So, define f(x,y) such that:

$\frac{\partial f(x,y)}{\partial x} =M(x,y)\\\\and\\\\\frac{\partial f(x,y)}{\partial y} =N(x,y)$

The solution will be given by:

$f(x,y)=C_1$

Where C1 is an arbitrary constant

Integrate $\frac{\partial f(x,y)}{\partial x}$ with respect to x in order to find f(x,y):

$f(x,y)=\int\ {4x+2y} \, dx =2x^2+2xy+g(y)$

Where g(y) is an arbitrary function of y.

Differentiate f(x,y) with respect to y in order to find g(y):

$\frac{\partial f(x,y)}{\partial y} =2x+\frac{d g(y)}{dy}$

Substitute into $\frac{\partial f(x,y)}{\partial y} =N(x,y)$

$2x+\frac{dg(y)}{dy} =2x+8y\\\\Solve\hspace{3}for\hspace{3}\frac{dg(y)}{dy}\\\\\frac{dg(y)}{dy}=8y$

Integrate $\frac{dg(y)}{dy}$ with respect to y:

$g(y)=\int\ {8y} \, dy =4y^2$

Substitute g(y) into f(x,y):

$f(x,y)=2x^2+4y^2+2xy$

The solution is f(x,y)=C1

$f(x,y)=2x^2+4y^2+2xy=C_1$

Solving y using quadratic formula:

$y(x)=\frac{1}{4} (-x\pm \sqrt{-7x^2+C_1} )$
