Given the equation |x-72.5|=4.

When x is maximum, we have

|x-72.5|= x-72.5. Hence x-72.5 =4\\x=76.5

The maximum temperature is 76.5\; ^oF

When x is minimum, we have

|x-72.5|=72.5-x. Hence 72.5-x =4\\x=68.5

The minimum temperature is 68.5\; ^oF

Answer:

Therefore the minimum and maximum temperature in the house are 68.5°F and 76.5°F respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation that relates the minimum and maximum temperature of heat of a house as;

|x – 72.5| = 4

Since the function at the left hand side is an absolute value, the equation can be expressed in two ways because the modulus function can either be a negative function (for minimum temperature) or positive function (maximum temperature).

The equation can be rewritten the following ways;

-(x-72.5) = 4 ...1 OR

x-72.5 = 4 ... 2

Solving equation 1 to get x;

-x+72.5 = 4

-x = 4-72.5

-x = -68.5

x = 68.5°F (minimum temperature)

Solving equation 2 for x;

x-72.5 = 4

x = 4+72.5

x = 76.5°F (maximum temperature)

Therefore the minimum and maximum temperature in the house are 68.5°F and 76.5°F respectively

Answer:

(3, - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 4y = -11

2x + 3y = -9

Multiply the top equation by 2 and the bottom equation by - 5 to cancel out the x's.

10x - 8y = - 22

- 10x - 15y = 45

Cancel out x's.

-8y = - 22

- 15y = 45

Add like terms.

- 23y = 23

Can't have a negative variable to flip them.

-23 = 23y

Divide.

y = - 1

Input y into one of the equations and solve for x.

2x + 3(-1) = -9

Simplify.

2x -3 = -9

Cancel out -3 by adding 3.

2x = -6

Divide.

x - -3

Replace ∗ with a monomial so that the derived expression may be represented as a square of a binomial: * +14b+49
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

  * = b²

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the square of a binomial is of the form ...

  (x + y)² = x² + 2xy + y²

Matching given terms, we have ...

  49 = y²

  2xy = 14b

Solving the first of these relations for y, we have

  y = √49 = 7

Putting that in the second relation and solving for x, we find ...

  2x·7 = 14b

  14x = 14b

  x = b

Then the first term of the expansion, x², will be b².

The missing term is b².
