Let the smaller number be x

let the larger number be y

According to Question-

x + y = 2y - 4
→ x - y = -4 ...1

if larger number is decreased by 1/3 we get equation -

x + y/3 = -20
→ 3x + y = -60 ...2

adding equation 1 and 2, we get:

4x = -64

→ x = -16

→ y = -60 - 3(-16)

→ y = -60 + 48

→ y = -12

lorasvet [3.4K]
- Key -

Black tiles = x
Purple tiles = x+50
Yellow tiles = 5x

-

Total = x + x+50 + 5x = 400
⇒ 7x + 50 = 400
⇒ 7x = 400-50 = 350
⇒ x = 350/7
⇒ x = 50

Black tiles = 50
Purple tiles = 50+50 = 100
Yellow tiles = 5 x 50 = 250

Estimate and classify the critical points for the graph of the function<br> Please show work
ikadub [295]

The critical points of the function graphed are given as follows:

  • x = -1.5: Local maximum.
  • x = -1: Local minimum.

<h3>What are the critical points of a function?</h3>

The critical points of a function are the values of x for which:

f^{\prime}(x) = 0

In a graph, they are turning points, and are classified as follows:

  • Local maximum, if the functions changes from increasing to decreasing.
  • Local minimum, if the functions changes from decreasing to increasing.

Looking at the graph, the turning points are approximately:

  • x = -1.5: Local maximum.
  • x = -1: Local minimum.

In the accompanying diagram, parallelogram ABCD has
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The area of the paralellogram is 24 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometrically speaking, the area of the parallelogram has an equation equivalent to the area formula for a rectangle, that is:

A = b\cdot h (1)

Where:

A - Area.

b - Base.

h - Height.

The base and height of the parallelogram are, respectively:

Base

b = 8-2

b = 6

Height

h = 5-1

h = 4

Then, the area of the parallelogram is:

A = (6)\cdot (4)

A = 24

The area of the paralellogram is 24 square units.
