Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find two numbers such that their difference and also the difference of their cubes are given numbers

Let the two numbers be x+3 and x-3

so that the difference between the numbers is 6.

Difference between the cubes

= (x+3)^3-(x-3)^3\\= (x+3-x+3)[(x+3)^2+(x-3)^2-(x+3)(x-3)] = 504\\3x^2+9=84\\x^2 = 25\\x = 5 or -5

So the numbers are either 2 and 8 or

(-2 and -8)

How to tell if a function is continuous or discontinuous?

Last month, he sold 505050 chickens and 303030 ducks for \$550$550dollar sign, 550. This month, he sold 444444 chickens and 3636
Nostrana [21]

Answer: the cost of one chicken is $8

The cost of one duck is $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one chicken.

Let y represent the cost of one duck.

Last month, he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550. It means that

50x + 30y = 550- - - - - - - - - - - 1

This month, he sold 44 chickens and 36 ducks for $532. It means that

44x + 36y = 532- - - - - - - - - - - 2

Multiplying equation 1 by 44 and equation 2 by 50, it becomes

2200x + 1320y = 24200

2200x + 1800y = 26600

Subtracting, it becomes

- 480y = - 2400

y = - 2400/- 480

y = 5

Substituting y = 5 Intl equation 1, it becomes

50x + 30 × 5 = 550

50x + 150 = 550

50x = 550 - 150

50x = 400

x = 400/50

x = 8

(8x-5) (2x) (3x-10). what is the largest angle??
kompoz [17]
8x-5 would be the largest angle because as you approach a larger and larger x value, 8x-5 will skyrocket past the other two. Also when you plug in a low value like 1, 8x-5=3, which is still higher than the other two. The only exception is if you plug in a negative x value which is impossible.
8x-5
