The product (x) of two numbers is 24 and their sum (+) is 10. What is the value of the largest of the two numbers?
1 answer:
let the two numbers be x and y
From the first sentence,
xy=24
x+y=10
Then make y in equation 2 the subject of the formular and substitute in equation 1
x+y=10
y=10-x
substituting in equation 2
x(10-x)=24
open the bracket
10x-x^2=24
=-x^2+10x=24
Transfer the constant to the left hand side
=-x^2+10x-24=0
Then factorise completely

Answer:
<em>96π units²</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram attached
Area of a sector is expressed as;
Area of a sector = θ/2π * πr²
Given
θ = 3π/4
r = 16
Substitute into the formula
area of the sector = (3π/4)/2π * π(16)²
area of the sector = 3π/8π * 256π
area of the sector = 3/8 * 256π
area of the sector = 3 * 32π
<em>area of the sector =96π units²</em>
We know f(x)=5x+1. Plug in f(x) in the g(x) function.
We get
Distribute the 2 to 5x and 1.
Simplify to get
Now, we plug in -1 for x.
