Answer:

A) (-17+5k,17-4k)

B) (-4+3k,4-2k)

C) No integer pairs.

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, I'm going to use Euclidean's Algorithm.

4x+5y=17

5=4(1)+1

4=1(4)

So going backwards through those equations:

5-4(1)=1

-4(1)+5(1)=1

Multiply both sides by 17:

4(-17)+5(17)=17

So one integer pair satisfying 4x+5y=17 is (-17,17).

What is the slope for this equation?

Let's put it in slope-intercept form:

4x+5y=17

Subtract 4x on both sides:

5y=-4x+17

Divide both sides by 5:

y=(-4/5)x+(17/5)

The slope is down 4 and right 5.

So let's show more solutions other than (-17,17) by using the slope.

All integer pairs satisfying this equation is (-17+5k,17-4k).

Let's check:

4(-17+5k)+5(17-4k)

-68+20k+85-20k

-68+85

That was exactly what we wanted since we were looking for integer pairs that satisfy 4x+5y=17.

Onward to the next problem.

6x+9y=12

9=6(1)+3

6=3(2)

Now backwards through the equations:

9-6(1)=3

9(1)-6(1)=3

Multiply both sides by 4:

9(4)-6(4)=12

-6(4)+9(4)=12

6(-4)+9(4)=12

So one integer pair satisfying 6x+9y=12 is (-4,4).

Let's find the slope of 6x+9y=12.

6x+9y=12

Subtract 6x on both sides:

9y=-6x+12

Divide both sides by 9:

y=(-6/9)x+(12/9)

Reduce:

y=(-2/3)x+(4/3)

The slope is down 2 right 3.

So all the integer pairs are (-4+3k,4-2k).

Let's check:

6(-4+3k)+9(4-2k)

-24+18k+36-18k

-24+36

That checks out since we wanted integer pairs that made 6x+9y=12.

Onward to the last problem.

4x+10y=9

10=4(2)+2

4=2(2)

So the gcd(4,10)=2 which means this one doesn't have any solutions because there is no integer k such that 2k=9.

1) If y = x3 + 2x and dx/ dt = 5, find dy/dt when x = 2. Give only the numerical answer. For example, if dy, dt = 3, type only 3

Semenov [28]

Answer:

a) 70

b) 10π ft²/ft

c) 0.24 ft/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

1) y = x³ + 2x

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{d(x^3+2x)}{dt}$

$\frac{dy}{dt}$ = $3x^2\frac{dx}{dt}+2\frac{dx}{dt}$

at $\frac{dx}{dt}=5$ and x = 2

$\frac{dy}{dt}$ = $3(2)^2\times(5)+2\times(5)$

$\frac{dy}{dt}$ = 60 + 10 = 70

2) A = πr² ft²

$\frac{dA}{dr}=\frac{d(\pi r^2)}{dr}$

$\frac{dA}{dr}$ = 2(πr)

at r = 5 ft

$\frac{dA}{dr}$ = 2(π × 5) ft²/ft

$\frac{dA}{dr}$ = 10π ft²/ft

3) From Pythagoras theorem

Base² + Perpendicular² = Hypotenuse²

Thus,

B² + P² = H² .............(1)

here, H = length of the ladder

P is the height of the wall

B is the distance from the wall at bottom

B² + P² = 25² ...........(1)

at B = 20 ft

20² + P² = 25²

P² = 625 - 400

P = √225

P = 15 ft

differentiating (1) with respect to time, we get

$2B\frac{dB}{dt}+2P\frac{dP}{dt}=0$

at B = 20 ft, $\frac{dB}{dt} = 0.18$ and P = 15 ft

⇒ 2(20)(0.18) + $2(15)\frac{dP}{dt}$ = 0

$30\frac{dP}{dt}$ = - 7.2

$\frac{dP}{dt}$ = - 0.24 ft/sec (Here negative sign depicts the ladder slides down)

Question below. Please answer it, its math.

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

- 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we want to do here is simplify the expression -

$\frac{3}{5}$ ( 2x + 5 ) - 2x, Distribute the " $\frac{3}{5}$ " to elements within the parenthesis

= $\frac{3}{5}$ $*$ 2x + $\frac{3}{5}$ $*$ 5 - 2x, Focus on simplifying the expression " $\frac{3}{5}$ $*$ 2x + $\frac{3}{5}$ $*$ 5 "

= $2\cdot \frac{3}{5}x+5\cdot \frac{3}{5}$ - 2x

= $\frac{6x}{5}+3$ - 2x, Combine fractions

= $-\frac{4x}{5}$ + 3

= $-\frac{4}{5}$ x + 3

So we have our simplified expression " $-\frac{4}{5}$ x + 3, " with $-\frac{4}{5}$ being the coefficient of x. Our requirements are that this fraction should be expressed as a decimal, so we can simply divide the numerator by the denominator to figure that out,

- 4 / 5 = - 0.8,

Solution = - 0.8

Corresponding sides of what triangles are proportional

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

In a pair of similar triangles, the corresponding sides are proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides touch the same two angle pairs. When the sides are corresponding it means to go from one triangle to another you can multiply each side by the same number.

Do all triangles have right angles why or why not

Papessa [141]

Not all triangles have right angles. A triangle is simply a closed figure with three sides and three angles, the sum of the degrees of which add up to 180°.

For instance, an equilateral triangle will will have all three angles equal to each other (60°, 60°, 60<span>°).

Some triangles may have right angles (90</span><span>°), but not all do.
