Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-4 x y-= 2
Answer:
2√11
Step-by-step explanation:
The square of the hypotenuse (h) of the smaller triangle is given by the Pythagorean theorem:
h² = 6² +8² = 100
The length of x is given by that same theorem:
h² +x² = 12²
x² = 12² -h² = 144 -100 = 44 . . . . . subtract h², fill in its value
x = √44 . . . . . . . . take the square root
x = 2√11 . . . . . . . simplify the root
Whenever a problem says "one number" and "another number" we can substitute x and y. for this we have x=2y+1 and xy=1. since we know the value of x (2y+1) we can substitute it for the other equation to get (2y+1)y=10. simplify to get 2y^2+y=10. from here you can do a few methods to solve this, but the simplest in my opinion is by factoring.
In order to factor it must be equal to 0, so we have 2y^2+y-10=0. We factor this and get y=5 (we also get y=-4 but it is an extraneous root). now we can plug that into either equation and find that x=2.
this means our two numbers are 5 and 2
