2x - 7y = 2 and 3x + y = -20 addition/elimination

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mkey [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = -6, y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-7y = 2

3x + y = -20

We need to cancel out either x or y to solve the equation. I'll cancel out x first

3(2x-7y = 2)

-2(3x+y=-20)

___________

6x-21y = 6

-6x -2y = 40

____________

-23y = 46

y = -2

Plug the value for y in one of the 2 equations to solve for x

2x -7(-2) = 2

2x+14=2

2x = -12

x=-6

Write an exponential function in the form y=ab^xy=ab x that goes through points (0,8) and (2,288)
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

y = 8•6^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write an exponential equation

To fully write this, we need the values of a and b

From the first coordinates given;

8 = a•b^0

a = 8 since b^0 = 1

Furthermore;

288 = 8•b*2

b^2 = 36

b = √36

b = 6

So we have ;

y = 8•6^x

Answer:

  k = -10/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the antilog:

  36(3k +7) = 132

  3k +7 = 3 2/3 . . . . divide by 36

  3k = -3 1/3 . . . . . . subtract 7

  k = -1 1/9 . . . . . . . divide by 3

Chord AC intersects chord BD at point P in circle Z.
Sliva [168]
1. To solve this exercise, you must use the "Intersecting chords theorem".

2. You have that:

AP=3.5 in
PC=6 in
DP=4 in

3. Then, by applying the "Intersecting chord theorem", you have:

(AP)(PC)=(BP)(DP)

4. When you substitute the values into (AP)(PC)=(BP)(DP), you obtain:

(3.5 in)(6 in)/BP(4 in)

5. Now, you must clear BP. Then:

(3.5 in)(6 in)/4 in=BP
21 in^2/4 in=BP

6. Therefore, the value of BP is:

BP=5.25 in
