Hello I don’t understand question 9 a and b. Please show working out.<br> Thanks
brilliants [131]
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.

A weather plane took to the skies to measure the speed of the jet stream. The plane flew 1920 km with the jet stream as a tail w
Alex
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:
 p: plane speed
 w: wind speed
 With the wind in favor, the speed is:
 p + w = 1920/2&#10;
 With the wind against the speed is:
 p - w = 1920 / 3.2&#10;
 Rewriting both equations, we have the following system of equations:
 p + w = 960&#10;&#10;p - w = 600
 Then, solving the system of equations (graphically for example), we have the solution is: 
 p = 780&#10;&#10;w = 180
 Therefore, jet stream's speed:
 w = 180 km / h&#10;
 Answer:
 
A) p + w = 960; p - w = 600; jet stream's speed = 180 km / h

Complete the slope equation of the line through 2,3 and 7, 4 <br><br> Y-4=
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

The slope equation of the line AB is (y -4) = \frac{1}{5} (x-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given points are A (2, 3) and B (7,4).

Now, slope of any line is given as :

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

or, m = \frac{4 -3}{7-2}   = \frac{1}{5}

Hence, the slope of the line AB is (1/5)

Now , A POINT SLOPE FORM of an equation is

(y - y0)  = m (x - x0) ; (x0, y0)  is any arbitrary point on line.

Hence, the equation of line AB with slope (1/5 )  and point (7,4) is given as:

(y  -4 ) = \frac{1}{5}  ( x - 7)

or, 5y  - 20 = x -7

⇒  x - 57  + 13 = 0  ( SIMPLIFIED FORM of equation)

Hence, the slope equation of the line AB is (y -4) = \frac{1}{5} (x-7)
