Answer:
x = -1 and y = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let u = 1/x, and v = 1/y
Then the pair of equations
-3/x + 4/y = 11
1/x - 2/y = -5
Can be written as
-3u + 4v = 11 .................................(1)
u - 2v = -5......................................(2)
From (2)
u = 2v - 5 .......................................(3)
Substituting (3) into (1)
-3(2v - 5) + 4v = 11
-6v + 15 + 4v = 11
-6v + 4v = 11 - 15
-2v = -4
v = 4/2 = 2
Substituting this value of v in (3)
u = 2v - 5
u = 2(2) - 5
= 4 - 5
= -1
That is
u = -1, v = 2
Since u = 1/x, and v = 1/y, we have
1/x = -1
=> x = -1
And
1/y = 2
=> y = 1/2
Therefore
x = -1 and y = 1/2
Answer:
The distance is 5.20m
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to get the height of the ladder
To get this, we need to understand that we have a right triangle, with the base of the triangle as 3 m, the angle at the downward part is 60, and we want to get the height of the triangle
The angle here faces the height we want to calculate
This height is known as the opposite
What we have is the adjacent
Now, the trigonometric identity that relates the opposite and the adjacent is the tan
The tangent of an angle is the ratio of the opposite to the adjacent
Mathematically;
tan 60 = h/3
h = 3 tan 60
h = 5.20 m
The ladder is at a height of 5.20 m above the ground
Remember that
1m=100cm
8m=800cm
800m=80,000cm
Answer:
x= 2
Step-by-step explanation:
so expand the left side of the equation
9x+9= 25+x
and then group like terms( subtract 9 from both sides and also do same with x.
9x-x= 25-9
8x= 16
divide by 8 on both sides.
x=2
The answer would be 167 I believe
