Substitute 4 for y. Then -3x^2 + 16 = 52.

Solve for x. Subtract 16 from both sides, obtaining -3x^2 = 36.

Divide both sides by -3, obtaining x^2 = -12. This last result makes no sense, as no square of a real number could be negative. Probably this is where you're ":getting a negative answer."

If imaginary answers were allowed, then x = i*√12 = i*2√3 or x = -i*2√3.

You get a negative value for x² because there are no real-number solutions to the set of equations. (The graphs do not intersect.)

Solve for x^2:

... x^2 = (y^2 -52)/3 = (16-52)/3) = -12

... x = 2√(-3) = ±i·2√3

Complex numbers cannot be compared to zero. (x > 0 has no meaning in this context.) It seems possible you want the complex solution with the positive imaginary part: x = i·2√3

6. Salary Raise. A Union negotiates for a cost-of-living raise of 3.4%. What is the raise for a union
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

<h2>New salary= $43,800.24</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

the initial salary is = $42,360

the raise in percentage is =3.4%

To know the raise we need to calculate what the amount of 3.4% of $42,360 is

Step two:

=(3.4/100)*42,360

=0.034*42360

=1440.24

therefore thr raise is $1440.24

Step three:

the new salary is given as

new salary= old salary+ raise

New salary= $42,360+$1440.24

New salary= $43,800.24

Mama L [17]
11 because -7 subtracted by 4 add kore to the 7 so think of it this way -7 is a bad guy and 4 is a bad guy to because its a subtraction so if both bad guys combine you get 11 because a negative with negative makes a positive so its 11

If ON = MN, find MN.
Furkat [3]
Use Pythagorean theorem.

[tex]|ON|^2+|MN|^2=|OM|^2\\\\x^2+x^2=8^2\\\\2x^2=64\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\\x^2=32\to x=\sqrt{32}\\\\x=\sqrt{16\cdot2}\\\\x=\sqrt{16}\cdot\sqrt2\\\\\boxed{x=4\sqrt2}

Answer: |MN| = 4√2.

The balance in Victor's savings account went from $80 to $120. By what percentage
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent increase, divide the increase by the original value.

The increase is $40.

The original value is $80.

40÷80 = 0.5

0.5 ⇒ 50%

It is a 50% increase.
