The average of two numbers is 25 and their difference is 8. What are the numbers?

1 answer:

8 0

$x;y-the\ numbers\\\\ \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{x+y}{2}=25&|multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\x-y=8\end{array}\right\\+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x+y=50\\x-y=8\end{array}\right\ \ \ |add\ sides\ of\ the\ equations\\---------\\.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2x=58\ \ \ \ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x=29\\\\29+y=50\\y=50-29\\y=21\\\\Answer:29\ and\ 21.$

Marisol is making a rectangular wooden frame. She wants the length of the frame to be no more than 12 inches. She has less than

evablogger [386]

l ≤ 12
2l + 2w < 30
the second and fourth option are saying she can make the length longer than twelve and the third option forgets to double the length and width so it is accurate. The first option is the right answer.

Show that the equation x^4/2021 − 2021x^2 − x − 3 = 0 has at least two real roots.

andreev551 [17]

The roots of an equation are simply the x-intercepts of the equation.

See below for the proof that $\mathbf{\frac{x^4}{2021} = 2021x^2 - x - 3 = 0}$ has at least two real roots

The equation is given as: $\mathbf{\frac{x^4}{2021} = 2021x^2 - x - 3 = 0}$

There are several ways to show that an equation has real roots, one of these ways is by using graphs.

See attachment for the graph of $\mathbf{\frac{x^4}{2021} = 2021x^2 - x - 3 = 0}$

Next, we count the x-intercepts of the graph (i.e. the points where the equation crosses the x-axis)

From the attached graph, we can see that $\mathbf{\frac{x^4}{2021} = 2021x^2 - x - 3 = 0}$ crosses the x-axis at approximately -2000 and 2000 between the domain -2500 and 2500

This means that $\mathbf{\frac{x^4}{2021} = 2021x^2 - x - 3 = 0}$ has at least two real roots
