Explain why the two equations below have the same solutions. x + 3y = −1 −2x − 6y = 2

Mathematics

Aloiza [94]3 years ago

X + 3y= -1
-2x - 6y = 2

These two equations have the same solution because we can see that they are equivalent. 

One way to find out is this:-

Since x has a +1 next to it, and the other equation has a (-2) next to the x, we can multiply everything on the first equation by 2 to see if they are equivalent.

x+3y= -1
(-2)*x + 3y*-2 = -1*-2
-2x+ (-6y) = 2
-2x-6y=2

Now we know that both of these equations have the same solution.

What is the value of x in the equation 1/5x - 2/3y<br> =<br> 30, when y = 15?
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

x = 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 15 as y into the equation and solve for x:

1/5x - 2/3y = 30

1/5x - 2/3(15) = 30

1/5x - 10 = 30

1/5x = 40

x = 200

So, when y = 15, x = 200

H(t)=-16t^2+96x+256. what is the initial value?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

256

Step-by-step explanation:

The intial value should be where it started which in this case would be when

t = 0

So if you make t = 0

h(0) = 16(0)^2+96(0)+256

h(0)= 256

The equation x=ay^2 describes a parabola if the value is a positive which way does the parabola open
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
You can always make up numbers and try to draw it. 
Let's say a = 1 for sake of simplicity.

If y=0 then x=0
<span>If y=1 then x=1
</span><span>If y=-1 then x=1
</span><span>If y=2 then x=4
</span><span>If y=-2 then x=4
</span>
As you can see, parabola opens to the right. Try drawing it to make sure you believe that. 
Keep in mind, parabola only opens to the right if you are using the conventional x-y plane, where x-axis is horizontal and y-axis is vertical.

Write a recursive formula and an explicit formula for the following arithmetic sequence. 14,17,20,23,26
Zarrin [17]

The recursive formula is a_{1} = 14;  a_{n} = a_{n-1} + 3

The explicit formula is a_{n}=3n+11

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive formula of the nth term of the arithmetic sequence is

a_{1} = first term;  a_{n} = a_{n-1} + d, where

  • a_{1} is the first term in the sequence
  • a_{n} is the nth term in the sequence  
  • a_{n-1} is the term before the nth term  
  • n is the term number
  • d is the common difference.

The explicit formula of the nth term of the arithmetic sequence is

a_{n}=a+(n-1)d , where

  • a_{n} is the nth term in the sequence
  • a is the first term
  • n is the term number
  • d is the common difference

∵ The arithmetic sequence is 14, 17, 20, 23, 26

∴ The first term is 14

∵ 17 - 14 = 3

∴ The common difference is 3

∵ The recursive formula is a_{1} = first term;  a_{n} = a_{n-1} + d

∵ a_{1} = 14

∵ d = 3

∴ a_{1} = 14;  a_{n} = a_{n-1} + 3

The recursive formula is a_{1} = 14;  a_{n} = a_{n-1} + 3

∵ The explicit formula is a_{n}=a+(n-1)d

∵ a = 14

∵ d = 3

∴ a_{n}=14+(n-1)3

- Simplify the right hand side

∴ a_{n}=14+3n-3

- Add like terms

∴ a_{n}=3n+11

The explicit formula is a_{n}=3n+11
