Answer:

x = 3

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the fact that our have two variables and two equations, I'm going to assume you are trying to find the values of x and y.

For these two equations, let's first find the value of x using the equation elimination method.

We're going to eliminate the y variable by multiplying the first equation by 2 and then adding that new equation to the second equation.

7x - y = 22 ==> 14x - 2y = 44

4x + 2y + (14x - 2y) = 10 + (44)

18x + 0y = 54

x = 3

Now we plug the value of x back into one of the equations to find the value of y.

7x - y = 22

7(3) - y = 22

-y = 22 - 21

y = -1

So our values are as follows:

x = 3

y = -1

A bridge in the shape of an arch connects two cities separated by a river. The two ends of the bridge are located at (–7, –13) a

Zepler [3.9K]

We can use the formula for a parabola: $y = c(x - a) + b$ where
$(a,b)$ is the origin of the parabola and $c$ is some constant scaling factor.

We are given that the center of the arch on the bridge is $(0, 0)$ . This is our origin. So our equation is:

$y = c(x - 0)^2 + 0 = cx^2$

Now we just need to find c. We can do this by plugging in one of the other points given:

$-13 = c*7^2$
$\frac{-13}{49} = c$

So our final equation for the arch of the bridge is:

$y = \frac{-13}{49}x^2$

What is tan(x)-5=0<br> (With steps)

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

$\tan x-5=0$
$\tan x=5$

Now before taking the inverse tangent of both sides, recall that

$\tan x=\tan(x\pm\pi)=\tan(x\pm2\pi)=\cdots=\tan(x\pm n\pi)$

where $n$ is any integer. This means that when taking the inverse tangent of $\tan x$ , instead of just $x$ , we would end up with

$\arctan(\tan x)=\arctan(\tan(x+n\pi))=x\pm n\pi$

So after doing so in the equation above, we're left with

$x\pm n\pi=\arctan5\implies x=\arctan5\pm n\pi$

As $n$ can be any integer, including negative integers, we can simply write

$x=\arctan5+n\pi,\,n\in\mathbb Z$

The sales tax rate is 8.25%. Estimate the sales tax<br> on a book that costs $18.50.

eimsori [14]

Answer:

$1.53

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales Tax Rate = 8.25%

Book Sales Cost = $18.50

Book Sales Tax = 8.25% x $18.50

= 8.25/100 x $18.50

= 0.0825 x $18.50

Book Sales Tax = $1.53
