Answer:
x = -1 and y = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let u = 1/x, and v = 1/y
Then the pair of equations
-3/x + 4/y = 11
1/x - 2/y = -5
Can be written as
-3u + 4v = 11 .................................(1)
u - 2v = -5......................................(2)
From (2)
u = 2v - 5 .......................................(3)
Substituting (3) into (1)
-3(2v - 5) + 4v = 11
-6v + 15 + 4v = 11
-6v + 4v = 11 - 15
-2v = -4
v = 4/2 = 2
Substituting this value of v in (3)
u = 2v - 5
u = 2(2) - 5
= 4 - 5
= -1
That is
u = -1, v = 2
Since u = 1/x, and v = 1/y, we have
1/x = -1
=> x = -1
And
1/y = 2
=> y = 1/2
Therefore
x = -1 and y = 1/2
to determine if it is even replace x with -x and see if the answer is identical.
In this case, this function is even
14 feet is larger because 1 yard is 3 feet. so 4*3=12 ft, and 12ft is less than 14 ft
Given a = 3 and b = - 8 ,
= > 2b² - 4a + 4a²
= > 2( - 8 )² - 4( 3 ) + 4( 3 )²
= > 2( 64 ) - 4( 3 ) + 4( 9 )
= > 128 - 12 + 36
= > 116 + 36
= > 152
