Let x and y represent the smaller and larger numbers, respectively.
  y - x = 5 . . . . . the difference is 5
  3y = 4x + 6 . . 3 times the larger is 4 times the smaller plus 6

Add x to the first equation to get an expression for y.
  y = x + 5
Use that in the second equation.
  3(x + 5) = 4x + 6
  3x + 15 = 4x + 6 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
  9 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add -3x-6
  y = x+5 = 14

smaller number: 9
larger number: 14

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

a: 16807

b: 0.0000595

Step-by-step explanation:

(a): We have 7 possibilities of numbers, and we need to choose 5 numbers that can repeat. So, for each of the 5 numbers, we have 7 possibilities. To determine how many codes are possible, we just need to multiply the number of possibilities of each of the 5 numbers, so we have 7x7x7x7x7, or 7^5, which is 16807 possibilities.

(b): to put the correct code in the first try, we need to find the exact combination (just one combination) among these 16807 possibilities, so the probability is 1/16807, which is 0.0000595, or 0.00595%.

The function, f(x) = –2x2 + x + 5, is in standard form. The quadratic equation is 0 = –2x2 + x + 5, where a = –2, b = 1, and c =
avanturin [10]
Given:

The function, f(x) = -2x^2 + x + 5

Quadratic equation: 0 = -2x^2 + x +5
where a = -2
            b = 1
            c = 5

The discriminate b^2 - 4ac = 41

To solve for the zeros of the quadratic function, use this formula:

x = ( -b +-√ (b^2 - 4ac) ) / 2a

x = ( 1 + √41 ) / 4  or 1.85
x = ( 1 - √41 ) / 4  or -1.35

Therefore, the zeros of the quadratic equation are 1.85 and -1.35.

Need help with this please.
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

y = -\frac{3}{2} x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let us find the gradient of AB:

Gradient of AB = \frac{-1-3}{-1-5}

                         = \frac{2}{3}

We also need to know that The <em>product of gradients which are perpendicular to each other is -1</em>. Using this idea, we can find the gradient of the perpendicular bisector:

(Gradient of perpendicular bisector)( \frac{2}{3} ) = -1

Gradient of perpendicular bisector = -\frac{3}{2}

Now, we need to know at which coordinates the perpendicular bisector intersects AB. <em>A perpendicular bisector bisects a line to two equal parts</em>. Hence the <em>coordinates of the intersection point is the midpoint of AB</em>. Thus,

Coordinates of intersection = ( \frac{-1 + 5}{2}, \frac{-1 + 3}{2} )

                                              = ( 2, 1 )

Now, we can construct our equation. The equation of a line can be formed using the formula (y - y_{1}) = m(x - x_{1}) where m is the gradient and the line passes through (x_{1} , y_{1} ). Hence by substituting the values, we get:

(y - 1) = -\frac{3}{2} (x - 2)

y - 1 = -\frac{3}{2} x + 3

y = -\frac{3}{2} x + 4<u />
