Answer: 13&7

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers x&y is 20

Product of the 2numbers xy is 51

X+y=20......equation 1

XY=51.........equation 2

X=20-y.......equation 3

Substitute for x inequation 3 into equation 2

So we have;

(20-y)y=51

Open the bracket

20y-y^2=51

Collect like terms,so we have

Y2-20y+51=0

Factorise

Factors of 51 is 13&7

So -13-7=-20 &-13×-7=51

Substitute

Y2-13y-7y+51=0

Y(y-13)-7(y-13)=0

(Y-7)(y-13)=0

Y-7=0

Y=7 or

Y-13=0

Y=13

Y=13 or 7

Substitute for y in equation 1

X+y=20

X+7=20

X=20-7

X=13 or

X+13=20

X=20-13

X=7

Therefore, X &Y = 13 &7

Which is bigger 45% or 5/11

oksano4ka [1.4K]

$\dfrac{5}{11}=0,\overline{45}=0,4545\ldots\\
45\%=0,45$

So $\dfrac{5}{11}\ \textgreater \ 45\%$

Perform the operation and write the answer in simplest form. 2 1/5 ÷ 31/5

Vinil7 [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

$\frac{11}{31}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the following expression and we are to perform operation and write the answer in simplest form:

$\frac { 2 \frac { 1 } { 5 } } { \frac { 31 } { 5 } }$

Changing the mixed fraction into improper fraction:

$2\frac{1}{5}$ ---> $\frac{11}{5}$

Now simplifying it:

$\frac { \frac { 1 1 } { 5 } } { \frac { 31 } { 5 } }$

Changing the division sign to multiplication by taking the reciprocal of the denominator:

$\frac{11}{5} \times \frac{5}{31}$

$\frac{11}{31}$

Consider the following equations. f(x) = − 4/ x3, y = 0, x = −2, x = −1. Sketch the region bounded by the graphs of the equation

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

1.5 unit^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- A graphing utility was used to plot the following equations:

$f ( x ) = - \frac{4}{x^3}\\\\y = 0 , x = -1 , x = -2$

- The plot is given in the document attached.

- We are to determine the area bounded by the above function f ( x ) subjected boundary equations ( y = 0 , x = -1 , x = - 2 ).

- We will utilize the double integral formulations to determine the area bounded by f ( x ) and boundary equations.

We will first perform integration in the y-direction ( dy ) which has a lower bounded of ( a = y = 0 ) and an upper bound of the function ( b = f ( x ) ) itself. Next we will proceed by integrating with respect to ( dx ) with lower limit defined by the boundary equation ( c = x = -2 ) and upper bound ( d = x = - 1 ).

The double integration formulation can be written as:

$A= \int\limits_c^d \int\limits_a^b {} \, dy.dx \\\\A = \int\limits_c^d { - \frac{4}{x^3} } . dx\\\\A = \frac{2}{x^2} |\limits_-_2^-^1\\\\A = \frac{2}{1} - \frac{2}{4} \\\\A = \frac{3}{2} unit^2$

Answer: 1.5 unit^2 is the amount of area bounded by the given curve f ( x ) and the boundary equations.
