Answer:

14, 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are two different variables, setting up a system of equations and using the elimination method will eliminate one variable and allow you to solve.

First equation: 'the sum of two numbers is 36'

x + y = 36

Second equation: 'twice the first number minus the second is 6'

2x - y = 6

Elimination (add equations):

x + y = 36

+ 2x - y = 6

3x = 42

x = 14

Solve for 'y':

14 + y = 36

y = 22

Only the function represented by graph has an inverse function.

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Only the function represented by graph 2 has an inverse function

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the inverse of the function

- The Function is a relation between x-coordinates and the y-

coordinates of the order pairs under the condition every

x-coordinate has only one y-coordinate

- Ex: R = {(2 , 3) , (1 , 5) , (-2 , -3)} is a function because every x-

coordinate has only one y-coordinate and R = {(2 , 3) , (-1 , 4) ,

(2 , 5)} not a function because the x-coordinate 2 has two y-

coordinates 3 and 5

- We use the vertical line to test the graph is function or not, if

the vertical line intersects the graph in one point then the

graph is function if intersects it in more than one point then the

graph is not function

- We have two types of function one-to-one function and

many-to-one function

# one-to-one function means every x-coordinate has only 1 y-coordinate

# many-to-one function means some x-coordinates have only 1

y-coordinate

- We find the inverse function by switching x and y, then one-to-

one function has inverse but many-to-one has not inverse

because when we switched x and y it will be one-to-many

means one x-coordinate has many y-coordinates and this is not

a function

- We use the horizontal line to test the graph of the function has

inverse or not, if the horizontal line intersects the graph in one

point then the function of the graph has inverse if it intersects

the graph in more than one point ,then the function of the

graph has no inverse

* Now lets test all the graphs by using the horizontal line

# graph 1

∵ The horizontal line cuts the graph in more than 1 point

∴ The function of graph 1 has no inverse

# graph 2

∵ The horizontal line cuts the graph in just 1 point

∴ The function of graph 2 has inverse

# graph 3

∵ The horizontal line cuts the graph in more than 1 point

∴ The function of graph 3 has no inverse

# graph 4

∵ The horizontal line cuts the graph in more than 1 point

∴ The function of graph 4 has no inverse

* Only the function represented by graph 2 has an inverse function

A 60 - kilogram person stands on a compression spring . The spring constant is 2500 Newtons per meter .

insens350 [35]

<h2>Answer:0.2352 $m$ </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the mass of the person be $m$ .

Let the spring constant be $k$ .

Let the displacement in spring be $x$

Let the acceleration due to gravity be $g$

As it is given that the person just stands,the forces are balanced.

So, $mg=kx$

Given,

$m=60Kg\\k=2500Nm^{-1}\\g=9.8ms^{-2}$

$60\times 9.8=2500\times x\\x=\frac{588}{2500}=0.2352m$

How to solve this problem step by step. Make brainliest answer if its done. Please

sladkih [1.3K]

D is halfway between A and B

so the coordinates of D are (2,2)

E is halfway between A and C so the coordinates of E are (-1,1)

now you need to find the gradient/slope of DE and BC using the formula:

$\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

<h3>Gradient of DE: </h3>

SUB IN COORDINATES OF D AND E

$\frac{1 - 2}{ - 1 - 2}$

therefore the gradient of DE is 1/3.

<h3>Gradient of BC:</h3>

SUB IN COORDINATES OF B AND C

 $\frac{ - 2 - 0}{ - 3 - 3}$ 

therefore the gradient of BC is -2/-6 which simplifies to 1/3.

<h3>therefore, BC and DE are parallel as they both have a gradient/slope of 1/3 and parallel lines have the same gradient</h3>
