Answer:

14 and 17

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=41

y=2x-1

x+(2x-1)=41

3x-1=41

3x=42

x=14

y=2(14)-1=27

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Make a system of equation</u>

The sum of two numbers is 41

    x        +        y        =        41

The larger number is one less than twice the smaller number.

    x                =                2y               -                1

<u>Step 2:  Substitute x from the second equation into the first</u>

x + y = 41

(2y - 1) + y = 41

3y - 1+ 1 = 41 + 1

3y/3 = 42 / 3

y = 14

<u>Step 3:  Substitute y into the second equation</u>

x = 2y - 1

x = 2(14) - 1

x = 28 - 1

x = 27

Answer:  x = 27, y = 14

The following values of (x) and f(y) are given. Find the best value of (dy/dx) at
velikii [3]

Answer:

dy/dx at x=6 is 0.334

Step-by-step explanation:

The center difference method requires that the values of the function are given in equal intervals which is the case, and allows one to find the value for x = 6 using those of the function for x = 5.5 and for x = 6.5 as follows:

\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{3.7436-3.4096}{6.5-5.5} =0.334

Please help me im about to fail!!!! Express your answer in scientific notation.
Illusion [34]

Answer:

3.74 x 10^5

Step-by-step explanation:

First expand the term in scientific notation into normal notation.

3.3 x 10^5   -   Here the ^5 tells us to move the decimal five places to the right, so we go from

3.30000 to

330000.00

So 3.3 x 10^5 = 330,000

Now add that to 44,000 and you get 374,000.

Return this number to scientific notation.  Move the decimal back to its spot before the 3.  We go from

374,000.00 to

3.74000

Once again the decimal has moved five places, so that is the number in the exponent of the our scientific notation, and therefore our answer is

3.74 x 10^5
