Step-by-step explanation:
Perhaps you want a graph of ...
x^2/49 +(y +1)^2/4 = 1
This is an ellipse centered at (x, y) = (0, -1) with a major axis in the x-direction of 14, and a minor axis in the y-direction of 4.
Make use of the fact that side lengths in similar triangles are proportional.
.. 30/18 = (20 +x)/20
.. 20*(30/18) -20 = x . . . . multiply by 20, subtract 20
.. 33 1/3 -20 = x . . . . . . . . evaluate the product
.. 13 1/3 = x
A) I would make the positive integer x and then form an equation.
x + 30 = x^2 - 12
x + 42 = x^2
0 = x^2 - x - 42 this can be factorised
(x - 7) ( x + 6) Therefore x = 7 or x = -6
Since the question asks for a positive integer the answer is 7.
B) two positive numbers x and y.
X - y = 3
x^2 + y^2 = 117
Use these simultaneous equations to figure out each number.
Rearrange the first equation
x = y + 3
Then substitute it into the second equation.
(y+3)^2 + y^2 = 117
y^2 + 6y + 9 + y^2 = 117
2y^2 + 6y - 108 = 0
then factorise this.
(2y - 12) (y + 9)
This means that y = 6 or y = -9 but it’s 6 because that’s the only positive number.
Use y to find x
x = y + 3
x = 6 + 3
x = 9
So the answers are x = 9 and y = 6.
Answer:
14 and 17
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=41
y=2x-1
x+(2x-1)=41
3x-1=41
3x=42
x=14
y=2(14)-1=27
