Answer:

x=1 and y=−2

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the first equation by 9,and multiply the second equation by -8.

9(−7x−8y=9)

−8(4x−9y=22)

Becomes:

−63x−72y=81

−32x+72y=−176

Add these equations to eliminate y:

−95x=−95

Then solve−95x=−95for x:

−95x

−95

(Divide both sides by -95)

x=1

Now that we've found x let's plug it back in to solve for y.

Write down an original equation:

−7x−8y=9

Substitute1forxin−7x−8y=9:

(−7)(1)−8y=9

−8y−7=9(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−8y−7+7=9+7(Add 7 to both sides)

−8y=16

−8y

−8

(Divide both sides by -8)

y=−2

The price of a notebook was $3.70 yesterday. Today, the price fell to $3.20 . Find the percentage decrease. Round your answer to

mario62 [17]

Answer:

13.5% Decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula (change in value / original value) * 100

Change in value = 3.70 - 3.20 =0.50 Change in value is 0.50

Original Value = 3.70

Use the formula (0.50/3.70) * 100 = 13.5 % Decrease

A Cepheid variable star is a star whose brightness alternately increases and decreases. For a certain star, the interval between

victus00 [196]

Answer:

a) $\frac{dB}{dt} = \frac{5\pi}{4.2} \cdot \cos \left(2\pi\cdot \frac{t}{4.2} \right)$ , b) $\frac{dB}{dt}\approx 5.595$

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The rate of change of the brightness of the Cepheid can be determined by deriving the function in time:

$\frac{dB}{dt} = \left(\frac{2\pi}{4.2} \right)\cdot 0.25\cdot \cos (2\pi\cdot \frac{t}{4.2})$

$\frac{dB}{dt} = \frac{5\pi}{4.2} \cdot \cos \left(2\pi\cdot \frac{t}{4.2} \right)$

b) The rate of increase after one day is:

$\frac{dB}{dt} = \frac{5\pi}{4.2} \cdot \left(2\pi \cdot \frac{1}{4.2} \right)$

$\frac{dB}{dt}\approx 5.595$
