Answer:

(x, y) = (2, -3/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point of the "elimination" technique is to combine the equations in a way that eliminates one of the variables. Sometimes this involves multiplying one or both of the equations by constants before you add those results together. In any event, the first step is to look at the coefficients of the variable terms to see if there is a simple combination of them that will result in zero.

The y terms have coefficients that are opposites of each other (4, -4), so you can simply add the two equations to eliminate y as a variable.

(2x +4y) +(x -4y) = (1) +(5)

3x = 6 . . . . . simplify

x = 2 . . . . . . divide by 3

Now, you find y by substituting this value into one of the equations. I would choose the equation with the positive y-coefficient:

2(2) +4y = 1

4y = -3 . . . . . . subtract 4

y = -3/4

Then the solution is ...

(x, y) = (2, -3/4)

Please Help me To solve this Problem

mart [117]

You're given that φ is an angle that terminates in the third quadrant (III). This means that both cos(φ) and sin(φ), and thus sec(φ) and csc(φ), are negative.

Recall the Pythagorean identity,

cos²(φ) + sin²(φ) = 1

Multiply the equation uniformly by 1/cos²(φ),

cos²(φ)/cos²(φ) + sin²(φ)/cos²(φ) = 1/cos²(φ)

1 + tan²(φ) = sec²(φ)

Solve for sec(φ) :

sec(φ) = - √(1 + tan²(φ))

Given that cot(φ) = 1/4, we have tan(φ) = 1/cot(φ) = 1/(1/4) = 4. Then

sec(φ) = - √(1 + 4²) = -√17

A locker combination consists of two non-zero digits. The digits in a combination are not repeated and range from 2 through 9.

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Answer choice B

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two possibilities; in the first, the first digit is below 5, in the second, it is above. The probability of the first possibility is 3/8, because there are 3 possible digits below 5 and 8 total digits. In this scenario, the chance of the second digit being below 5 is 2/7, because one of the digits is taken. In the other possibility, which has a chance of 5/8, the probability of choosing a number below 5 is 3/7, since all of them are still available. Doing the arithmetic, you find that the total probability is 2/7. Hope this helps!
