Let the numbers be x and y. Then xy = -30 and x+y = -3.
Solve xy = -30 for y: y = -30/x
subst. -30/x for y in x+y= -3: x - 30/x = -3
Multiply all 3 terms by x: x^2 - 30 = -3x, so x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0
Solve this quadratic equation for x. x: {-5, 2}
If x = -5, then x+y = -3 becomes -5 + y = -3, and y = 2.
You should check to determine whether x=2 is also correct. If it is, what is the corresponding y value?
Plog in to y=ax+b and u will find a b
Answer:
1.x^7
2.x^10
3.a^2
4. 5
Step-by-step explanation:
1. x^(5+2)=x^7
2.x^(5*2)=x^10
3.a^(5-3)=a^2
4. 5 * 1=5
Answer:
b + 2 = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
This may not be the right answer, but its what I think it is.
1 in 100 or 1/100 would be the probability
