Answer: ab + bc + ac = 155

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given: a² + b² + c² = 90      and     a + b + c = 20

Square the second equation, subtract it from the first equation, then simplify.

Square the second equation:

(a + b + c)² = 20²

a² + b² + c² + 2ab + 2bc + 2ac = 400

Subtract the equations:

   a² + b² + c² + 2ab + 2bc + 2ac = 400

- (<u>a² + b² + c²                                 </u> = <u>90</u>)

                         2ab + 2bc + 2ac = 310

Simplify:

2(ab + bc + ac) = 310

<u>÷2                     </u>  <u>÷2    </u>

  ab + bc + ac = 155

Help ! solve the following system of equations <br><br> -9x+2y=-13<br><br> 2x-9y=20
Stella [2.4K]

Answer: x = 1, y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-9x+2y=-13

x= 13/9 + 2/9y

2x-9y=20

2(13/9+2/9y)-9y=20

<em>Substitute y with -2.</em>

<em />

x= 13/9+2/9(-2)

<em>After solving you'll see that 1 is a possible solution for x.</em>

<em />

Check your answer

-9x+2y=-13

-9x1+2(-2) = -13

2x-9y=20

2x1-9(-2) = 20

-13 = -13

20 = 20

Therefore, x=1 and y=-2

Given: 1; -5; -13 ; -23 ; ...<br><br> Derive a formula for the nth term in the pattern.
mylen [45]

Answer:

  f(n) = -n^2 -3n +5

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the formula is ...

  f(n) = an^2 +bn +c

Then we have ...

  f(1) = 1 = a(1^2) +b(1) +c

  f(2) = -5 = a(2^2) +b(2) +c

  f(3) = -13 = a(3^2) +b(3) +c

__

Here's a way to solve these equations.

Subtract the first equation from the second:

  -6 = 3a +b . . . . . 4th equation

Subtract the second equation from the third:

  -8 = 5a +b . . . . . 5th equation

Subtract the fourth equation from the fifth:

  -2 = 2a

  a = -1

Then substituting into the 4th equation to find b, we have ...

  -6 = 3(-1) +b

  -3 = b

and ...

  1 = -1 +(-3) +c . . . . . substituting "a" and "b" into the first equation

  5 = c

The formula is ...

  f(n) = -n^2 -3n +5
