-4x-2y=-12 and 4x+8y=-24 using addition/eliminatin method

Mathematics

Use the elimination method:

-4x - 2y = -12
+4x + 8y = -12
--------------------
 0  + 6y = -24

6y = -24
6y/6 = -24/6
y = -4

Plug in -4 for y in one of the equations
-4x - 2y = -12
-4x - 2(-4) = -12
-4x + 8 = -12
-4x + 8 (-8) = -12 (-8)
-4x = -20
-4x/-4 = -20/-4
x = 5

x = 5, y = -4

hope this helps

Elimination method is best because one equation has 4x and the other has -4x. Add the two equations together.

 -4x - 2y = -12
+4x + 8y = -24
----------------------
   0 + 6y = - 36

divide by 6 both sides 
y = -6 

use this to find x in either equation.
4x + 8(-6) = -24
4x  - 48 = -24
4x = -24 + 48
4x = 24
x = 6

What is the horizontal asymptote for y(t) for the differential equation dy dt equals the product of 2 times y and the quantity 1
marta [7]
First, we need to solve the differential equation.
\frac{d}{dt}\left(y\right)=2y\left(1-\frac{y}{8}\right)
This a separable ODE. We can rewrite it like this:
-\frac{4}{y^2-8y}{dy}=dt
Now we integrate both sides.
\int \:-\frac{4}{y^2-8y}dy=\int \:dt
We get:
\frac{1}{2}\ln \left|\frac{y-4}{4}+1\right|-\frac{1}{2}\ln \left|\frac{y-4}{4}-1\right|=t+c_1
When we solve for y we get our solution:
y=\frac{8e^{c_1+2t}}{e^{c_1+2t}-1}
To find out if we have any horizontal asymptotes we must find the limits as x goes to infinity and minus infinity. 
It is easy to see that when x goes to minus infinity our function goes to zero.
When x goes to plus infinity we have the following:
$$\lim_{x\to\infty} f(x)$$=y=\frac{8e^{c_1+\infty}}{e^{c_1+\infty}-1} = 8
When you are calculating limits like this you always look at the fastest growing function in denominator and numerator and then act like they are constants. 
So our asymptote is at y=8.

What is the sign of 3x y3xy3, x, y when x>0x>0x, is greater than, 0 and y<0y<0y, is less than, 0?
kaheart [24]

Answer:

B ) Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 3xy

when x>0 and y<0

The value of the expression 3xy will be negative.

This is because the product of a positive and negative number will always be negative.

For illustration,

Let x=5>0 and y=-5<0

3xy=3(5)(-5)=-75

NOTE:

-X-=+\\-X+=-\\+X+=+

There are 38 students in a class. 13 of them like to play badminton, 22 of them like to play tennis while 5 of them are not inte
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

38 total students

5 like neither one, so 38 - 5 = 33

22 plus 13 is 35, but only 33 students like one of them, so 35 - 33 = 2 extra votes, which means 2 like both.
