Let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"

now, we know one of them is 7 more than the other, so hmmm let's say "b" is 7 more than "a", so b = a + 7

the difference of their squares is 161, alrite

\bf a^2-b^2=161\qquad b=a+7\implies a^2-(a+7)^2=161
\\\\\\
a^2-(a^2+14a+49)=161\implies \underline{a^2-a^2}-14a-49=161
\\\\\\
-14a-49=161\implies -49-161=14a\implies -210=14a
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-210}{14}=a

and surey you know how much that is

now, what's "b"? well, b = a + 7

The rule is x+2, y-3 so you apply it to each of these coordinates. Right 2, down 3.
A(-2,2) -> A'(0,-1)
B(-2,4) -> B'(0, 1)

The constraints of a problem are listed below. What are the vertices of the feasible region?<br>​
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Option 4 : (0.\frac{3}{2} ) \ , \ (0,2) \ , \ (6,0) \ , \ (\frac{9}{4} ,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>See the attached figure:</u>

To find the vertices of the feasible region, we need to graph the constraints, then find the area included by them, then calculate the vertices which is the intersection between each two of them.

As shown, the shaded area represents the solution of the constraints

So, the vertices of the feasible region are:

(0.\frac{3}{2} ) \ , \ (0,2) \ , \ (6,0) \ , \ (\frac{9}{4} ,0)
