Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be x,y

x+y=8

y=8-x

x²+y²=34

x²+(8-x)²=34

x²+64+x²-16x=34

2x²-16x+64-34=0

2x²-16x+30=0

x²-8x+15=0

1×15=15

5+3=8

5×3=15

x²-(3+5)x+15=0

x²-3x-5x+15=0

x(x-3)-5(x-3)=0

(x-3)(x-5)=0

either x=3 or 5

if x=3,y=8-3=5

if x=5,y=8-5=3

in either cases numbers are 3,5

and smaller number is 3.

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

3 squared is 9. 5 squared is 25. 25 + 9 = 34. 5 + 3 = 8. So the smaller number is 3.

Suppose that the cost of producing n pairs of shoes is given by the expression c(n)=30+5n. the average cost of producing a pair
makkiz [27]
<h3>Given</h3>

c(n)=30+5n\\a(n)=\dfrac{c(n)}{n}

<h3>Find</h3>

\dfrac{d}{dn}(a(n))\quad\text{at n=10}

<h3>Solution</h3>

\dfrac{d}{dn}(a(n))=\dfrac{d}{dn}\left(\dfrac{30+5n}{n}\right)=\dfrac{d}{dn}\left(30n^{-1}+5\right)\\\\=-30n^{-2}\\\\=-30\cdot 10^{-2}\qquad\text{at n=10}\\\\=-0.30

The derivative of the average cost function at n=10 is -0.30.

90=20+70 use the distributive property and the GCF OF 20 and 70 to write another related expression for 90 could you write anoth
juin [17]
90 = 20 + 70.....GCF of 20 and 70 is 10
90 = 10(2 + 7) <==

can u write another expression using a different common factor...yes
90 = 20 + 70.....common factor is 5
90 = 5(4 + 14) <==
