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.

Veronica traveled 562 miles to Venice, Florida. She drove 85 miles every day. On the last day of her trip, she only drove 52 mil
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

562 = 85x +52

x is the number of days

Veronica traveled for 7 days

Step-by-step explanation:

562 = 85x + 52

510 = 85x Subtract 52 on both sides

6 = x Divide by 85 to isolate x

Even though Veronica only had to drive 52 miles on the last day of her trip, it still counts as a day of driving. Hence, she traveled 7 days in total.

Find sin theta if cot theta = -2 and cos theta &lt; 0
Katarina [22]

cot(<em>θ</em>) = cos(<em>θ</em>)/sin(<em>θ</em>)

So if both cot(<em>θ</em>) and cos(<em>θ</em>) are negative, that means sin(<em>θ</em>) must be positive.

Recall that

cot²(<em>θ</em>) + 1 = csc²(<em>θ</em>) = 1/sin²(<em>θ</em>)

so that

sin²(<em>θ</em>) = 1/(cot²(<em>θ</em>) + 1)

sin(<em>θ</em>) = 1 / √(cot²(<em>θ</em>) + 1)

Plug in cot(<em>θ</em>) = -2 and solve for sin(<em>θ</em>) :

sin(<em>θ</em>) = 1 / √((-2)² + 1)

sin(<em>θ</em>) = 1/√(5)
