We are given the following data: <span>x = 2t, y = t + 5, -2 ≤ t ≤ 3. The data is valid since there are three unknowns in this problem and that three equations would suffice to answer the problem.
We start with the given </span>-2 ≤ t ≤ 3 then substitute y = t +5 by using the limits of the range:
at t = -2 ; y = -2 + 5 = 3
at t = 3, y = 3+5 = 8
for the second equation
at t = -2 ; x = 2*-2 =-4
at t=3; x = 2*3 = 6
we group the points based on their original corresponding t's
(3,-4) and (8,6) we just have to connect these points along with the internal points in between. The relationship should be linear.
Add both distances to find the total distance between them: 3447+86=3533 ft.
Double the first equation: 4x+14y=-2 and subtract the second: 17y=17, so y=1. 2x=-7y-1=-7-1=-8, so x=-8/2=-4.
The answer is x=-4 and y=1.
77 unicorns, because yesterday the ratio was 6:5 and today it is 3:4. If you add the numbers for both ratios together, you get 11 and 7. Finding the LCM of these two gives 77 (because 7 and 11 are both prime).
You find the LCM of the sums because when you find values based on ratios, you divide value by the sum of the ratio.
e.g. I have 100 fruits. The ratio of apples to oranges is 2:3. How many apples are there?
To solve this you'd add 2 and 3 (5), divide 100 by 5 (20), multiply that by 2 (40) because that's the ratio of apples to oranges.
In this case, you do the reverse. So If I have 77 unicorns, then yesterday there were (77/11 = 7, 7*6= 42, 7*5= 35) 42 green unicorns and 35 yellow. The sum of 42 and 35 is 77. If you do this process with the other ratio you'll get similar results as well.
E^(∞): This is defined as 'e' being raised to a huge value. Hence the result will definitely be a large number which is also infinity (∞), i.e. e^(∞) = ∞.
e^(- ∞) = 1/e^(∞) = 1/∞ = 0.
