Answer:

x=2\\y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

3x+2y=4\hspace{5}(1)\\and\\4x+7y=1\hspace{5}(2)

We need to eliminate one of the variables, so let's use elimination method. First multiply (1) by 4 and (2) by 3:

4*(1)\equiv\hspace{5}12x+8y=16\\3*(2)\equiv\hspace{5}12y+21y=3

Now subtract 3*(2) from 4*(1) in order to eliminate x:

4*(1)-3*(2)\\12x-12x+8y-21y=16-3\\-13y=13

Solving for y:

Multiplying both sides by -1/13  

y=-\frac{13}{13} =-1

Finally, replacing the value of y in (1)

3x+2*(-1)=4

Solving for x:

add 2 to both sides:

3x=6

Multiply both sides by 1/3:

x=\frac{6}{3} =2

If x=0 and x=3 then 3 divided by 2x to the second power minus 2 divided by x to the second power minus 3x
Afina-wow [57]
Answer: undefined in both cases.


Explanation:

1) Expression to evaluate:

\frac{3}{2x^2} - \frac{2}{x^2-3x}

2) You are asked to evaluate that expression for two different cases, x = 0 and x = 3.

3) First case: x = 0

The expression cannot be evaluated at x = 0, because the denominators (both  denominators) equal 0, and the division by 0 is not defined.

So, the answer is undefined.

4) Second case, x = 3

When you replace x = 3 you get:

\frac{3}{2x^2} - \frac{2}{x^2-3x} = \frac{3}{2(3^2)} - \frac{2}{3^2-3(3)} = \frac{3}{18} - \frac{2}{9-9}

Again, this result in a division by 0, so you conclude that it is undefined too.

Segment YZ has endpoints (6, 3) and (3, 9). Find the coordinates of the point that divides the line segment directed from Y to Z
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

  (4, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point of interest is ...

  P = (2Z +1Y)/(2+1) = ((2·3+6)/3, (2·9+3)/3)

  P = (4, 7)

__

The point that divides the segment into the ratio a:b is the weighted average of the endpoints, with the weights being "b" and "a". The weight of the first end point corresponds to the length of the far end of the segment.
