Let
x--------->  the larger number
y---------> the smaller number

we know that
x+y=148------> equation 1
x=3y-2------> equation 2

substitute 2 in 1
[3y-2]+y=148--------> 4y=150---------> y=150/4------> y=37.5
x=3y-2----> x=3*37.5-2-----> x=110.5

the answer is
the larger number is 110.5
the smaller number is 37.5

Graph y=x+1/x² and y=1/x for positive values of x.
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Graphic is showed in the figure below

Step-by-step explanation:

To graph the equations given, let's do a table for positive values of x, and, by replacing it in the equation, let's calculate the value of y. Knowing the coordinate points (x,y) we can build the graphic.

<em>x        y= x + 1/x²       y = 1/x</em>

1             2                    1

2          2.25               0.2

3          3.11                 0.33

4          4.06               0.25

When x->0 both equations -> ∞, because lim(1/x) x->0 = ∞

The graphic is showed below. In red there is y = 1 + 1/x² and in blue y = 1/x

A person stands 10 meters east of an intersection and watches a car driving towards the intersection from the north at 13 meters
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Therefore the rate change of distance between the car and the person at the instant, the car is 24 m from the intersection is 12 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A person stand 10 meters east of an intersection and watches a car driving towards the intersection from the north at 13 m/s.

From Pythagorean Theorem,

(The distance between car and person)²= (The distance of the car from intersection)²+ (The distance of the person from intersection)²+

Assume that the distance of the car from the intersection and from the person be x and y at any time t respectively.

∴y²= x²+10²

\Rightarrow y=\sqrt{x^2+100}

Differentiating with respect to t

\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x^2+100}}. 2x\frac{dx}{dt}

\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+100}}. \frac{dx}{dt}

Since the car driving towards the intersection at 13 m/s.

so,\frac{dx}{dt}=-13

\therefore \frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+100}}.(-13)

Now

\therefore \frac{dy}{dt}|_{x=24}=\frac{24}{\sqrt{24^2+100}}.(-13)

               =\frac{24\times (-13)}{\sqrt{676}}

               =\frac{24\times (-13)}{26}

               = -12 m/s

Negative sign denotes the distance between the car and the person decrease.

Therefore the rate change of distance between the car and the person at the instant, the car is 24 m from the intersection is 12 m/s.
