Answer:

x = 5/39 , y = 539/39

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{y - 2.5 x = 13.5

12.25 x - y = -12.25

In the first equation, look to solve for y:

{y - 2.5 x = 13.5

12.25 x - y = -12.25

y - 2.5 x = y - (5 x)/2 and 13.5 = 27/2:

y - (5 x)/2 = 27/2

Add (5 x)/2 to both sides:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

12.25 x - y = -12.25

Substitute y = 1/2 (5 x + 27) into the second equation:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

1/2 (-5 x - 27) + 12.25 x = -12.25

(-5 x - 27)/2 + 12.25 x = 12.25 x + (-(5 x)/2 - 27/2) = 9.75 x - 27/2:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

9.75 x - 27/2 = -12.25

In the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

9.75 x - 27/2 = -12.25

9.75 x - 27/2 = (39 x)/4 - 27/2 and -12.25 = -49/4:

(39 x)/4 - 27/2 = -49/4

Add 27/2 to both sides:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

(39 x)/4 = 5/4

Multiply both sides by 4/39:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

x = 5/39

Substitute x = 5/39 into the first equation:

{y = 539/39

x = 5/39

find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 14.7 ft and a base with a circumference of 13 ft

Doss [256]

Answer:

Volume of the cone =650.06 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the cone= 14.7 feet

Circumference= 13 feet

Radius = 13/2 = 6.5 feet

Volume of the Cone:

$=\pi r^2\frac{h}{3}$

As, $\pi =\frac{22}{7}=3.14$

Putting the values in the formula:

Volume of the cone is :

$=3.14*(6.5*6.5)*\frac{14.7}{3} \\\\=3.14*(6.5*6.5)*4.9\\\\=3.14*42.25*4.9\\\\=3.14*207.03\\\\=650.06feet^3$

Volume of the cone is 650.06 cubic feet

Suppose you have a cache of radium, which has a half-life of approximately 1590 years. how long would you have to wait for 1/5 o

lubasha [3.4K]

<span>You would have to wait 318 years for 1/5 (20%) of the Radium to disappear. 1590 is the point where half of the Radium would decay, so if you take 20% of that, it would equate out to 318 years. Radium has a long half life!</span>

Please help i have no idea what are the excluded values to the equation y = 5 / (x^2 - 7x 10)?

Kryger [21]

Hello,

The excluded values are the roots of the denominator.

x²-7x+10=x²-2x-5x+10=x(x-2)-5(x-2)=(x-2)(x-5)

Roots of the denominator are x=2 and x=5

A line passes through the points (-7, 2) and (1, 6).A second line passes through the points (-3, -5) and (2, 5).Will these two l

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Yes, the lines intersect at (3,7). The solution is (3,7).

Explanation:

Step 1. The first line passes through the points:

(-7,2) and (1,6)

and the second line passes through the points:

(-3,-5) and (2,5)

Required: State if the lines intersect, and if so, find the solution.

Step 2. We need to find the slope of the lines.

Let m1 be the slope of the first line and m2 be the slope of the second line.

The formula to find a slope when given two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Using our two points for each line, their slopes are:

$\begin{gathered} m_1=\frac{6-2}{1-(-7)} \\ \\ m_2=\frac{5-(-5)}{2-(-3)} \end{gathered}$

The results are:

$\begin{gathered} m_1=\frac{6-2}{1-(-7)}=\frac{4}{1+7}=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2} \\ \\ \end{gathered}$ $m_2=\frac{5+5}{2+3}=\frac{10}{5}=2$

The slopes are not equal, this means that the lines are NOT parallel, and they will intersect at some point.

Step 3. To find the intersection point (the solution), we need to find the equation for the two lines.

Using the slope-point equation:

$y=m(x-x_1)+y_1$

Where m is the slope, and (x1,y1) is a point on the line.

For the first line m=1/2, and (x1,y1) is (-7,2). The equation is:

$y=\frac{1}{2}(x-(-7))+2$

Solving the operations:

$\begin{gathered} y=\frac{1}{2}(x+7)+2 \\ \downarrow\downarrow \\ y=\frac{1}{2}x+7/2+2 \\ \downarrow\downarrow \\ y=\frac{1}{2}x+5.5 \end{gathered}$

Step 4. We do the same for the second line. The slope is 2. and the point (x1,y1) is (-3, -5). The equation is:

$\begin{gathered} y=2(x-(-3))-5 \\ \downarrow\downarrow \\ y=2x+6-5 \\ \downarrow\downarrow \\ y=2x+1 \end{gathered}$

Step 5. The two equations are:

$\begin{gathered} y=\frac{1}{2}x+5.5 \\ y=2x+1 \end{gathered}$

Now we need to solve for x and y.

Step 6. Equal the two equations to each other:

$\frac{1}{2}x+5.5=2x+1$

And solve for x:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2}x+5.5=2x+1 \\ \downarrow\downarrow \\ 5.5-1=2x-\frac{1}{2}x \\ \downarrow\downarrow \\ 4.5=1.5x \\ \downarrow\downarrow \\ \frac{4.5}{1.5}=x \\ \downarrow\downarrow \\ \boxed{3=x} \end{gathered}$

Step 7. Use the second equation:

$y=2x+1$

and substitute the value of x to find the value of y:

$\begin{gathered} y=2(3)+1 \\ \downarrow\downarrow \\ y=6+1 \\ \downarrow\downarrow \\ \boxed{y=7} \end{gathered}$

The solution is x=3 and y=7, in the form (x,y) the solution is (3,7).

Answer:

Yes, the lines intersect at (3,7). The solution is (3,7).
