What two numbers have a product of -2 and a sum of 7

<em>Greetings from Brasil...</em>

According to the statement of the question, we can assemble the following system of equation:

X · Y = - 2      i

X + Y = 7       ii

isolating X from i and replacing in ii:

X · Y = - 2

X = - 2/Y

X + Y = 7

(- 2/Y) + Y = 7     <em>multiplying everything by Y</em>

(- 2Y/Y) + Y·Y = 7·Y

- 2 + Y² = 7X     <em> rearranging everything</em>

Y² - 7X - 2 = 0      <em>2nd degree equation</em>

Δ = b² - 4·a·c

Δ = (- 7)² - 4·1·(- 2)

Δ = 49 + 8

Δ = 57

X = (- b ± √Δ)/2a

X' = (- (- 7) ± √57)/2·1

X' = (7 + √57)/2

X' = (7 - √57)/2

So, the numbers are:

<h2>(7 + √57)/2</h2>

and

<h2>(7 - √57)/2</h2>

1.2 x 10^19 x 5.88 x 10^12
Lapatulllka [165]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  7.056 × 10^31

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rule of exponents is ...

  (10^a)(10^b) = 10^(a+b)

__

  (1.2\times10^{19})\times(5.88\times10^{12})=(1.2\cdot5.88)\times10^{19+12}\\\\=\boxed{7.056\times10^{31}}

As you know, the commutative and associative properties of multiplication let you rearrange the order of the product to any convenient form. Here it is convenient to group the mantissas together and the powers of 10 together.

<em>Additional comments</em>

This is a product your scientific or graphing calculator can produce for you. Likely it will display the result in scientific notation because it won't have enough display digits to show you the product any other way. For smaller numbers, you can set the display mode to give you scientific notation.

If you choose to use a spreadsheet to perform this calculation, the numbers would be entered as 1.2e19 and 5.88e12. The result will be something like 7.056e31. You may have to format the display to show 3 decimal places.

the area of a trapezoid is 36 square inches. The height is 4 inches and one bases twice the length of the other base. What are t
vlada-n [284]
The formula for this is A= \frac{1}{2} ( b_{1} + b_{2} )h.  Filling in accordingly, 36= \frac{1}{2}(x+2x)(4).  This simplifies to 36= \frac{1}{2}(3x)(4) and 36=6x.  Therefore, x = 6 so the bases are 6 and 12.
