They give us 2 pieces to the puzzle. Both are positive numbers...x and y.
1.) 1 number is 1 less than twice another number. (x = 2y -1)...and
2.) the sum of their squares is 106. (x^2 + y^2 = 106).
substitute the value for x into the second equation.
(2y-1)^2 + y^2 = 106
(2y-1) (2y-1) + y^2 = 106 (use distributive property)
4y^2 - 2y - 2y + 1 + y^2 = 106 (subtract 106 from both sides)
4y^2 - 2y - 2y + 1 + y^2 - 106 = 106 - 106 (combine like terms)
5y^2 - 4y - 105 = 0 (factor)
(y-5) (5y-21) = 0 (set to 0)
y - 5 = 0
y = 5
substitute the 5 into the equation for y (x = 2(5) - 1)
x = 9 if we square 9, we get 81.
subtracted from 106 we have 25...the square root of 25 is 5.
our answers are 5 and 9.
Answer:
-5,-8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Polynomials are algebraic expressions that consist of variables and coefficients. ... We can perform arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and also positive integer exponents for polynomial expressions but not division by variable. An example of a polynomial with one variable is x2+x-12.
In its simplest form, Torricelli's law states that water in a tank will escape through a (small) hole in the bottom with the same speed that it would attain falling from the same height to the level of the hole. ... velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the fluid in the container. Hope that helps!
