9514 1404 393

Answer:

  2 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the first and second numbers, respectively.

  3x +3y = 15

  4x +2y = 14

Dividing the equations by common factors, we can rewrite them to standard form:

  x + y = 5

  2x + y = 7

Subtracting the first equation from the second gives ...

  (2x +y) -(x +y) = (7) -(5)

  x = 2

Using either equation to find y, we have also ...

  y = 3

The two numbers are 2 and 3.

mixer [17]

Answer:

76 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

GE = 180 since it is a straight line

GE = GR + FE

180 = 7x+6 +6x-8

Combine like terms

180 = 13x-2

Add 2 to each side

182 = 13x

Divide by 13

182/13 = 13x/13

14 =x

We want FE

FE = 6x-8

FE = 6(14) -8

    =84 -8

    =76

Evaluate the limit. lim x-&gt; infinity n/3^x
Sav [38]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the following limit:

lim_(x->∞) 3^(-x) n

Applying the quotient rule, write lim_(x->∞) n 3^(-x) as (lim_(x->∞) n)/(lim_(x->∞) 3^x):

n/(lim_(x->∞) 3^x)

Using the fact that 3^x is a continuous function of x, write lim_(x->∞) 3^x as 3^(lim_(x->∞) x):

n/3^(lim_(x->∞) x)

lim_(x->∞) x = ∞:

n/3^∞

n/3^∞ = 0:

Write an exponential function of the form f(x) = ab* whose graph passes through the
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let f(x)=ab^x

when x=1,f(x)=6

6=ab

when x=2,f(x)=18

18=ab^2

divide

\frac{ab^2}{ab}=\frac{18}{6}\\b=3\\ab=6\\3a=6\\a=2\\f(x)=2(3)^x
