A first number plus twice a second number is 6. Twice the first number plus the second totals 24. Find the numbers

1 answer:

DanielleElmas [232]3 years ago

6 0

Answer: 14 and -4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the first statement: Let the first number be x and the second number be y , then x + 2y = 6.

From the second statement: 2x + y = 24

Combining the two equations , we have

x + 2y = 6 ......................... equation 1

2x + y = 24 ........................ equation 2

Solving simultaneously

x = 14 , y = -4

Please help!! <br>what are the x-intercepts of this equation.

padilas [110]

The x intercepts are -2 and 5. First, you factor the equation and get (2x+4)(2x-10), then solve for the x's. If you have more problems like this, there's a great online calculator that can help with graphing. www.symbolab.com. It tells you the intercepts if you plug in the equations. Hope this helps!

Find the exact value of tan(x-y) if sin x=8/17 cosy = 3/5

jolli1 [7]

To solve the the question we proceed as follows:

From trigonometric laws

$(cos x)^2+(sin x)^2=1$

$(cos x)^2+(sin x)^2=1$

$sin (x-y)=sin$ $x$ $sin$ $y-sin$ $y$ $cos$ $x$

$cos (x-y)=cos$ $x$ $cos$ $y+sin$ $x$ $xin$ $y$

si $x=\frac{8}{17}$

$cos$ $x=sqrt(1-(sin x)^2)=sqrt(1-64/289)=sqrt(\frac{225}{289} )=\frac{15}{17}$

$cos$ $y=\frac{3}{5}$

$sin$ $x= sqrt(1- (cos x)^2)= sqrt(1-\frac{9}{25} )=sqrt(\frac{16}{25} )=\frac{4}{5}$

thus

$tan (x-y)=[sin (x-y)]/[cos (x-y)]$

=[sin x cos y-sin y cos x]/[cos x cos y+sin x sin y]

plugging in the values we obtain:

$[8/17 *3/5-4/5*15/7]/[15/17*3/5+8/17*4/5]$

simplifying

$[24/85-60/85]/[45/85+32/85]$

$=-\frac{36}{77}$

The graph of function f is shown below.

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation: g(x) = 4(x - 2)^2 - 4

The axis of symmetry comes from that "(x - 2)." It is x = +2.

The axis of symm. of f(x) is discernable in the diagram; that axis of symmetry is x = -2.
