How to do substitution or elimination

Mathematics

Levart [38]3 years ago

I: y=(1/2)x+5
II: y=(-3/2)x-7

substitution:
fancy word for insert the definition of one variable in one equation into the other
-> isolate a variable, luckily y is isolated (even in both equations) already
-> substitute y of II into I (=copy right side of II and replace y in I with it):

(-3/2)x-7=(1/2)x+5
-3x-14=x+10
-3x-24=x
-24=4x
-6=x

-> insert x back into I (or II):
y=(1/2)x+5
=(1/2)*(-6)+5
=-3+5=2

elimination: subtract one equation from the other to eliminate a variable, again y is already isolated->no extra work required

I-II:
y-y=(1/2)x+5-[(-3/2)x-7]
0=(1/2)x+5+(3/2)x+7
0=(4/2)x+12
-12=2x
-6=x

-> insert x back into I (or II):
y=(1/2)x+5
=(1/2)*(-6)+5
=-3+5=2

Describe how to construct a sequence of nested intervals that have precisely the number √2 in common. There are many possible wa
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

See answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

Define the intervals:

I_n:=(\sqrt{2}-\frac{1}{n},\sqrt{2}+1/n) for n≥1.

The intervals are nested, in the sense that I_1\supset I_2\supset I_3 \supset \cdots To see this, use the fact that for all n≥1, -1/n≤-1/(n+1) and 1/n≥1/(n+1) (intuitively, the intervals are "shrinking" in size, and are centered around √2).

The only point common to all intervals is √2, in the sense that \bigcap_{n\geq 1}I_n=\{2\}  

The idea for this construction is to center the intervals around √2 and shrink their size with the summand 1/n. As n goes to infinity, 1/n tends to zero and the intervals became closer and closer to √2, but they NEVER degenerate to the point √2, in contrast to their intersection.

The diameter of a circle is 20 m. Find its area in terms of π
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

100π m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Diameter= 20m

Radius= 10m

The expression for the  area is

Area= πr^2

Area= π*10^2

Area= π*100

Area= 100π m^2

Hence the area is 100π m^2
