Answer:

$x=-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$2(x-3)-9=3x-9$

Step 1: Using addition property of equality, add 9 on both sides.

$2(x-3)-9+9=3x-9+9$

$2(x-3)=3x$

Step 2: Using distributive property, we get

$2(x)+2(-3)=3x$

$2x-6=3x$

Step 3: Using addition property of equality twice we get

$2x-6+6=3x+6$

$2x=3x+6$

$2x-3x=3x+6-3x$

$-x=6$

Step 4: Using multiplication property of equality, multiply both sides by -1.

$(-x)(-1)=(6)(-1)$

$x=-6$

Therefore, the solution of the given equation is x=-6.

Find the center-radius form of the equation of the circle described.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

Correct answer: (x-√2)² + (y-√5)² = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data: Center (x,y) = (√2,√5) and r = √3

The canonical or cartesian form of the equation of the circle is:

( x-p )² + ( y-q )² = r²

Where p is the x coordinate of the center, q is the y coordinate of the center and r is the radius of the circle.

In order to solve the system of linear equations, the coefficients of one of the variables must be the same number but opposite

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

because both equations do not have matching numbers for the x or y variable, and both equations are positive you are going to have to multiply each equation by a number so that there will be at least one variable with the same number but with opposite signs.

it does not matter which variable you choose.

lets use y because 2 and 3 are smaller then 2 and 5.

so lets multiply the first equation by 2 in order to get y equal to 6.

2(2x)+2(3y)=(2)6

(do not forget to multiply what the equation is equal to also)

4x+6y=12

now for the second equation we need y to equal negative 6

-3(5x)+-3(2y)=-3(4)

-15x-6y=-12

now lets put the 2 new equations next to each other and see what we can cancel out

4x+6y=12

-15x-6y=-12

-11x=0

x=0

now plug 0 in for x and solve for y (it does not matter which of the 4 equations you choose to solve.

2(0)+3y=6

3y=6

y=2

so your answer is x=0, y=2

a. Parameterize $C$ by

$\vec r(t)=(1-t)(5\,\vec\imath)+t(2\,\vec\jmath)=(5-5t)\,\vec\imath+2t\,\vec\jmath$

with $0\le t\le1$ .

b/c. The line integral of $\vec F(x,y)=-y\,\vec\imath+x\,\vec\jmath$ over $C$ is

$\displaystyle\int_C\vec F(x,y)\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=\int_0^1\vec F(x(t),y(t))\cdot\frac{\mathrm d\vec r(t)}{\mathrm dt}\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^1(-2t\,\vec\imath+(5-5t)\,\vec\jmath)\cdot(-5\,\vec\imath+2\,\vec\jmath)\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^1(10t+(10-10t))\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle10\int_0^1\mathrm dt=\boxed{10}$

d. Notice that we can write the line integral as

$\displaystyle\int_C\vecF\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=\int_C(-y\,\mathrm dx+x\,\mathrm dy)$

By Green's theorem, the line integral is equivalent to

$\displaystyle\iint_D\left(\frac{\partial x}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial(-y)}{\partial y}\right)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=2\iint_D\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy$

where $D$ is the triangle bounded by $C$ , and this integral is simply twice the area of $D$ . $D$ is a right triangle with legs 2 and 5, so its area is 5 and the integral's value is 10.
