Solve by elimination -8x -10y = 24 and 6x + 5y = 2

1 answer:

5 0

Alright, if we take the first equation and rearrange it, we get:
x = -(24+10y)/8
when we rearrange the second one, we get:
x = (2-5y)/6

When we subtract both of these equations, we get:
x - x = 0
-(24+10y)/8 - (2-5y)/6 = -(72+30y)/24 - (8-20y)/24 = (-80-50y)/24
(-40-25y)/12

So, -25y-40 = 0
y = -1.6

Now, we substitute y back in to either of the 2 original equations, to get:
6x + 5(-1/6) = 2
6x - 8 = 2
6x = 10
x = 5/3

Hope I helped! xx

Factor 3x^3+3x^2+x+1

Nat2105 [25]

We can solve it like:
3x^3+3x^2+x+1= (3x^3+3x^2)+(x+1)=
3x^2(x+1)+(x+1)=
= (x+1)(3x^2+1)

!! AP CALCULUS AB !!<br> find the limit of [(secx*sinx) + (cscx*cosx)]/(3secx) as x approaches 3pi/2

uysha [10]

$f(x)= \frac{\frac{\sin{x}}{\cos{x}}+\frac{\cos{x}}{\sin{x}}}{3\sec{x}}$

$\frac{\frac{\sin{x}}{\cos{x}}+\frac{\cos{x}}{\sin{x}}}{3\sec{x}} \implies \\ \frac{\sin^2{x}+\cos^2{x}}{\sin{x}\cos{x}}\frac{\cos{x}}{3}\implies \\\frac{1}{\sin{x}\cos{x}}*\frac{\cos{x}}{3}\implies \\ \frac{1}{3\sin{x}}$

So,

$\lim_{x \rightarrow \frac{3\pi}{2}}{f(x)=f(\frac{3\pi}{2})=\frac{1}{3\sin{\frac{3\pi}{2}}}=-\frac{1}{3}$

What is this percent of change 40;72

jenyasd209 [6]

The percentage of change: This is how you set it up

% change = (New old value) =
(Old value) = x 100 %

40 is the old value and 72 is is the new value

The new value is greater than the old value.

(72 - 40) /40)x 100 = 80 or 80%

the percent change from 40 to 72 represents a positive change (increases) of 80.
