Solve the system of equations using elimination. 4x - 7y = 5 9x – 7y = –15

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anni [7]3 years ago
8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to get one positive 7y so,

4x-7y=5

9x-7y=-15

multiply anyone of the equation by -1. I choose the first one so,

4x+7y=-5

9x-7y=-15

we can now cancel the y's so the equation will be left with

-4x=-5

9x=-15

add the equations

5x=-20

divide by 5 n u get

x=-4

now plug in the x value in any one of the

equations

I choose the first one so,

4(-4)-7y=5

-16-7y=5

add 16 to both sides

-7y=21

divide by -7

y=-3.

finally check.

The slope of the tangent line to the curve x^3y+y^2-x^2=5 at the point (2,1) is
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

-4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the tangent to the equation at any point we must differentiate the equation.

x^3y+y^2-x^2=5

3x^2y+x^3y'+2yy'-2x=0

Gather terms with y' on one side and terms without on opposing side.

x^3y'+2yy'=2x-3x^2y

Factor left side

y'(x^3+2y)=2x-3x^2y

Divide both sides by (x^3+2y)

y'=(2x-3x^2y)/(x^3+2y)

y' is the slope any tangent to the given equation at point (x,y).

Plug in (2,1):

y'=(2(2)-3(2)^2(1))/((2)^3+2(1))

Simplify:

y'=(4-12)/(8+2)

y'=-8/10

y'=-4/5

Please help me with this ASAP.
Simora [160]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add the first equation up you get 2z+6 by combining like terms

if you see A a is equal to 3z+6 so a doesn’t work

If you look at B b is equal to z+12 so b doesn’t work

finally C if you distibute it out you get 2(z)+2(3) which equal 2z+6 which works

C
