Today, the mailman sorted 57 letters during his first hour of work, 69 letters during his second hour, 81 letters during his thi

rd hour, and 105 letters during his fifth hour. Based on the trend, how many letters did the mailman sort during his fourth hour of work?

The answer is 93

If we sorted out the number of each hours, the sequence will look like this

57 _ 69 _ 81 _ x _ 105

(in which x is the fourth hour of work)

We can see from the sequence that each hours, the mailman add additional 12 letters.
(69 - 57 = 12)
(81 - 69 = 12) . . . . proof

So, the amount of letters on the fourth hour would be:
81 letters + 12 letters = 93 Letters

Answer:

<em>(a) x=2, y=-1</em>

<em>(d) x=-2, y=-7</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Cramer's Rule</u>

It's a predetermined sequence of steps to solve a system of equations. It's a preferred technique to be implemented in automatic digital solutions because it's easy to structure and generalize.

It uses the concept of determinants, as explained below. Suppose we have a 2x2 system of equations like:

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{ax+by=p} \atop {cx+dy=q}} \right.$

We call the determinant of the system

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}a &b \\c &d \end{vmatrix}$

We also define:

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}p &b \\q &d \end{vmatrix}$

And

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}a &p \\c &q \end{vmatrix}$

The solution for x and y is

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}$

(a) The system to solve is

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{x+y=1} \atop {x-2y=4}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}1 &1 \\1 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=-2-1=-3$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}1 &1 \\4 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=-2-4=-6$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}1 &1 \\1 &4 \end{vmatrix}=4-3=3$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{-6}{-3}=2$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{3}{-3}=-1$

The solution is x=2, y=-1

(b) The system to solve is

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{4x-y=6} \atop {x-y=0}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}4 &-1 \\1 &-1 \end{vmatrix}=-4+1=-3$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}6 &-1 \\0 &-1 \end{vmatrix}=-6-0=-6$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}4 &6 \\1 &0 \end{vmatrix}=0-6=-6$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{-6}{-3}=2$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{-6}{-3}=2$

The solution is x=2, y=2

(c) The system to solve is

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{-x+2y=0} \atop {x+2y=5}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}-1 &2 \\1 &2 \end{vmatrix}=-2-2=-4$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}0 &2 \\5 &2 \end{vmatrix}=0-10=-10$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}-1 &0 \\1 &5 \end{vmatrix}=-5-0=-5$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{-10}{-4}=\frac{5}{2}$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{-5}{-4}=\frac{5}{4}$

The solution is

$\displaystyle x=\frac{5}{2}, y=\frac{5}{4}$

(d) The system to solve is

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{6x-y=-5} \atop {4x-2y=6}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}6 &-1 \\4 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=-12+4=-8$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}-5 &-1 \\6 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=10+6=16$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}6 &-5 \\4 &6 \end{vmatrix}=36+20=56$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{16}{-8}=-2$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{56}{-8}=-7$

The solution is x=-2, y=-7

Thе іmagе оf (-2, 5) is (1, 1).

dem82 [27]

Answer:

(6, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To get to x=1 from x=-2, you must add 3 to the x-coordinate. Only one answer choice has an x-coordinate that is 3 more than that of the given point:

3 + 3 = 6

The image point is (6, -2).

_____

<em>Check</em>

To get from a y-coordinate of 5 to an image point y-coordinate of 1, you must subtract 4. If you subtract 4 from the y-coordinate of (3, 2), you get 2-4 = -2, the y-coordinate in the chosen answer above.
