Solve for x and y 9/x-4/y=8

1 answer:

7 0

You can solve <span>9/x-4/y=8 for x or for y but NOT at the same time.

Solving for x: </span><span>9/x-4/y=8 Mult all 3 terms by xy to eliminate the fractions.

9(xy)/x - 4xy/y = 8xy => 9y - 4x = 8xy, or 9y = 4x + 8xy = 4x(1+2y)

then 9y = x [ 4(1+2y) ]
9y
therefore x = ------------
4(1+2y)

Solve for y using a similar approach.

Find the angle of depression from the top of a lighthouse, 260 feet above water to a ship that's 270 feet offshore?

expeople1 [14]

Answer: OPTION C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe the triangle ABC attached.

Notice that the angle of depression is represented with $\alpha$ .

Knowing that the top of a lighthouse is 260 feet above water and the ship is 270 feet offshore, you can find the value of $\alpha$ by using arctangent:

$\alpha= arctan(\frac{opposite}{adjacent})$

In this case you can identify that:

$opposite=260\\adjacent=270$

Therefore, substuting values into $\alpha= arctan(\frac{opposite}{adjacent})$ , you get that the angle of depression is:

$\alpha= arctan(\frac{260}{270})\\\\\alpha=43.92\°$

5.65 times 3.4 estimate

lidiya [134]

We can round 5.65 up to 6 and 3.4 down to 3.
3 * 6 = 18
now let's see how close our estimate is to the real answer
5.65 * 3.4 = 19.21
Our answer was pretty close to the real answer!

Hope I helped!
