The product (x) of two numbers is 24 and their sum (+) is 10. What is the value of the largest of the two numbers?

Mathematics

RideAnS [48]3 years ago
4 0

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

A water container holds 2 liters. How many
EastWind [94]

Number of containers for 2 litres of water = 1

So, number of containers for 1 litre of water = ½

So, number of containers for 30 litres of water

= ½ × 30

= 30/2

= 15

So, 15 of these containers would be needed to fill a 30-liter drum.

The sum of the measure of the interior angles of a polygon is 1980°. What polygon is it? 10-gon 11-gon 12-gon 13-gon
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

13-gon

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides is:

S = 180° (n − 2)

If S = 1980°, then:

1980° = 180° (n − 2)

11 = n − 2

n = 13

Which is the best definition of an Isosceles Triangle ?
baherus [9]

Answer:

A) but it is not a good choice.

Write the equation of a line with a slope of -7/2 passing through the point 2,-4
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

y = -7/2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of a line is

y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -7/2 x+b

Substitute the point into the equation

-4 = -7/2(2) +b

-4 = -7+b

Solving for b

-4+7 = -7+b+7

3 = b

The equation is y = -7/2x+3

What is the period of the graph y=1/2sin (pix)+3?<br><br> A- 3<br> B- 1/2<br> C-pi <br> D-2
dimaraw [331]

The period is 2.

Normally the period of sin(x) is 2pi, but the pi inside the sin(pix) is a horizontal compression by a factor of 1/pi.  So 2pi·1/pi = 2

The "1/2" and "+3" do not impact the period.  Those just impact the amplitude (vertical aspect) of the graph.
