What shape is formed when a plane slices through a sphere at any angle?

In a championship basketball game, Paula Zimmerman scored twice as many points as Maria Kaminsky. If the total number of points

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

x=34

y=17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Paula's score be= x

Let Maria's score be=y

<u>Given</u><u>:</u>

x=2y

x+y=51

<u>Substitution</u><u>:</u>

2y+y=51

<u>Formula</u><u>:</u>

2y+y=51

3y=51

y=17

x=2y

x=2(17)

x=34

<u>Proof</u><u>:</u>

x+y=51

34+17=51

51=51

Hope this helps ;) ❤❤❤

The weight of Jane and Jessica was in the ratio of 8 : 9. Jane gained 2 kg while Jessica lost 4 kg. They then had the same weigh

postnew [5]

Answer:

48 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The given relations can be used to write a system of equations for the two weights. Those can be solved to find Jane's weight.

__

<h3>setup</h3>

Let x and y represent Jane's and Jessica's original weight, respectively. The ratio of weights was ...

x/y = 8/9

After the changes in weight, they were equal:

x+2 = y-4

__

<h3>solution</h3>

Adding 4 to the second equation, we have an expression for y that can be substituted into the first equation.

y = x +6 . . . . . . . . . . solve the second equation for y

x/(x+6) = 8/9 . . . . . . substitute for y in the first equation

9x = 8(x +6) . . . . . . . multiply by 9(x+6)

x = 48 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify and subtract 8x

Jane weighed 48 kg at first.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

The original difference in "ratio units" was 9-8 = 1 ratio unit. We find that this corresponds to 6 kg after the weight changes make the weights equal. Then 8 ratio units will be 8(6 kg) = 48 kg—Jane's original weight.

(This mental solution is virtually the same as the solution using equations shown above.)

Sum of cubes: (a b)(a2 – ab b2) = a3 b3 Difference of cubes: (a – b)(a2 ab b2) = a3 – b3 Which products result in a sum or diffe

valentina_108 [34]

By comparing all the options with the formula of sum of cubes and difference of cubes we get that $(x+4)\left(x^{2}-4 x+16\right)$ is sum of cubes

<h3>What is formula of sum of cubes and difference of cubes?</h3>

Formula of sum of cubes and difference of cubes are following

$(a+b)(a^2 -ab +b^2) = a^3+ b^3 \\\\\\(a - b)(a^2+ ab+ b^2) = a^3 - b^3$

(a)

$(x-4) \left(x^{2}+4 x-16\right)\\=(x-4) \left(x^{2}+4 x-4^2\right)\\\\$

by comparison with formula we can say that this is neither sum or nor difference of cubes.

(b)

$(x-1)\left(x^{2}-x+1\right)\\=(x-1)\left(x^{2}-x+1^2\right)$

by comparison with formula we can say that this is neither sum nor difference of cubes.

(c)

$(x+1)(x-1)=x^{2}-1^{2}\\$

we can say that this is neither sum nor difference of cube as it's difference of squares.

(d)

$(x+4)\left(x^{2}-4 x+16\right)\\\\(x+4)\left(x^{2}-4 x+4^2\right)$

by comparison with formula this is equal to

$x^{3}+4^{3}\\$

Hence this is sum of cubes

(e)

$(x+4)\left(x^{2}+4 x+16\right)\\(x+4)\left(x^{2}+4 x+4^2\right)$

by comparison with formula we can say that this is neither sum nor difference of cubes.

By comparing all the options with the formula of sum of cubes and difference of cubes we get that $(x+4)\left(x^{2}-4 x+16\right)$ is sum of cubes
