Two numbers are in a ratio of 5:4. Their sum is 720. Find the bigger number.

1 answer:

8 0

So the numbers are x and y
x:y=5:4
x/y=5/4
this means that x is worth 5 units and y is worth 4 units so
x:y=5:4, therefore it can be represented by
x:y=5z:4z
we know that they add to 720
720=5z+4z
add like terms
720=9z
divide by 9
80=z
multiply by 4
320

80=z
mutipply by 5
400

the numbers are 400 and 320

Which is the general form of the equation of the circle shown? x2 + y2 + 4x – 2y – 4 = 0 x2 + y2 + 4x – 2y + 2 = 0 x2 + y² – 4x

The equation of a circle with center at point (h, k) and radius of r units is given by
$(x-h)^{2} +(y-k)^2=r^2$

From the diagram, the center of the given circle is at points (-2, 1) and the radius is 3 units.

Therefore, the equation of the given by
$\left(x-(-2)\right)^2+(y-1)^2=3^2 \\ \\ (x+2)^2+(y-1)^2=9 \\ \\ x^2+4x+4+y^2-2y+1=9 \\ \\ x^2+y^2+4x-2y+5-9=0 \\ \\ x^2+y^2+4x-2y-4=0$
