The numbers are:  "7 " and "21 " .
_______________________________________
Explanation:
_______________________________________
The numbers are:  "x"  and "x + 14" .

x + (x + 14) = 28 .  Solve for "x" ; and then solve for "x + 14" .
_______________________________________
 → x + (x + 14) = 28 ;

Rewrite as:

 →  x + x + 14 = 28 ;

 →  1x + 1x + 14 = 28 ;

 →  2x + 14 = 28 ; 
  
 Subtract "14" from each side of the equation;
 
 →  2x + 14 − 14 = 28 <span>− 14 ;

</span> →  2x = 14  ;

Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "2" ;
     to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;

 →  2x / 2 = 14 / 2 ;

 →  x = 7 . 
_________________________________________
So;  one of the numbers is:  " 7 " .

The other number is:  " x + 14 " ; which equals: " 7 + 14 = 21".

The other number is:  "21 " .
_________________________________________
The numbers are:  "7 " and "21 " .

What multiplies to give you 15 and adds to give you -8?
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The system of equations is:

        x + y = 15

           xy = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

solve the first for y and substitute in the second:

            y = 15-x

      x(15-x) = 15

     15x - x� = 15

15x - x� - 15 = 0

-x� + 15x - 15 = 0

x� - 15x + 15 = 0

Find all the roots of the equation x4 - 2x3 + 14x2 - 18x + 45 = 0 given that 1 + 2i is one of its roots.

brainly.com/question/10192511


Knowing that 1+2i is a root, you also know that 1-2i is a root, so one quadratic factor is
   (x -1)² -(2i)² = x^2 -2x +5

Long division of the given polynomial by this quadratic gives a quotient of 
  x² +9
which has roots ±3i.

Then all the roots are {-3i, 3i, 1-2i, 1+2i}.

Recall the scenario about Eric's weekly wages in the lesson practice section. Eric's boss have been very impressed with his work
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:  

1)\quad f(x)=\bigg\{\begin{array}{ll}12x&0\leq x

2) D: x = [0, 24]

3) R: y = [0, 384]

4) see graph

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Eric's regular wage is $12 per hour for all hours less than 9 hours.

The minimum number of hours Eric can work each day is 0.

f(x) = 12x    for   0 ≤ x < 9

Eric's overtime wage is $18 per hour for 9 hours and greater.

The maximum number of hours Eric can work each day is 24 (because there are only 24 hours in a day).

f(x) = 18(x - 8) + 12(8)

    = 18x - 144 + 96

    = 18x - 48           for 9 ≤ x ≤ 24

The daily wage where x represents the number of hours worked can be displayed in function format as follows:

f(x)=\bigg\{\begin{array}{ll}12x&0\leq x

2) Domain represents the x-values (number of hours Eric can work).

The minimum hours he can work in one day is 0 and the maximum he can work in one day is 24.

D:  0 ≤ x ≤ 24        →        D: x = [0, 24]

3) Range represents the y-values (wage Eric will earn).

Eric's wage depends on the number of hours he works. Use the Domain (given above) to find the wage.

The minimum hours he can work in one day is 0.

f(x) = 12x

f(0) = 12(0)

     =  0

The maximum hours he can work in one day is 24 <em>(although unlikely, it is theoretically possible).</em>

f(x) = 18x - 48

f(24) = 18(24) - 48

       = 432 - 48

       = 384

D:  0 ≤ y ≤ 384        →        D: x = [0, 384]

4) see graph.

Notice that there is an open dot at x = 9 for f(x) = 12x

and a closed dot at x = 9 for f(x) = 18x - 48
