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

If 80% of M is equal to 50% of N and N≠0, what is N/M equal to?
erastova [34]
Whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.

thus, what is 80% of M, well is just (80/100) * M,

what is 50% of N?  well is just (50/100) * N.

we know they're both equal, thus

\bf \cfrac{80}{100}M=\cfrac{50}{100}N\implies \cfrac{8M}{10}=\cfrac{5N}{10}\implies \cfrac{4M}{5}=\cfrac{N}{2}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{4\cdot 2}{5}=\cfrac{N}{M}\implies \cfrac{8}{5}=\cfrac{N}{M}

You purchase an iPhone for $599 a case for $49 and a charging station for $61. You charge it to your credit card annual interest
mixer [17]

Answer:

$404.13

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you start by adding together 599, 49, and 61, which gives you 709. Then, you want to do 709(1.19) to find the amount he would pay including interest in a year, and your answer is 843.71. You want to next subtract that by 709, so you do 843.71-709, and get 134.71. Finally, since it says 3 years, you have to multiply that by 3, and 134.71(3) gives you your final answer, $404.13. I hope this helped you understand better!

A line passes through the point (4, –2) and has a slope of One-half.
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

a = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line in point-slope form is y + 2 = (1/2)(x - 4).

Replacing x with -4 yields                   y + 2 = (1/2)(-4 - 4)  =  (1/2)(-8)

Then y + 2 = -4, and so y = -6, or a = - 6.
