Which combination of integers can be used to generate the Pythagorean triple (5,12,13)

Answer:

x=3 and y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean triples can be generated by two values <em>x, y, </em>and a given system of equations:

x^{2}-y^{2}=5\\2xy=12\\x^{2}+y^{2}=13

You can see that each coordinate of the triple is included in each equation.

Remember that Pythagorean triples refers to the values of each side of a right triangle, where is used the Pythagorean Theorem. But, at a higher level, to construct this triples we use the system of equations, with two integers <em>x </em>and <em>y.</em>, like this case.

Now we solve the system, the best first step is to just sum the first and third equations, because they have like terms:

2x^{2}=18\\x^{2}=\frac{18}{2}=9\\x=3

Now, we just replace it in the second equation:

2xy=12\\y=\frac{12}{2x}=\frac{6}{3}=2

Therefore the integers that generate the Pythagorean triple (5,12,13) are x=3 and y=2

Answer:

x=3 and y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagorean triples are generated by two integrers x and y that can be found by solving the following system of equations:

\left \{ {{x^{2}-y^{2}=5}\atop {2xy=12}} \atop {x^{2}+y^{2}=13}}\right.

Solve the system of equations, and we get that the solution is x=3 and y=2.

Therefore, the combination of integrers that ca be used to generate the pythagorea triple are: x=3 and y=2

20 tennis balls cost 8.20 find the cost of five
Dominik [7]
To do this, we must find the unit rate. 20 / 8.20 = $2.44

Now, we multiply that by 5, and that gives us $12.20

5 balls cost $12.20

At one store you can purchase 7 apples for $5.46. At another store, You can Get five apples $3.95. Which is the better deal?
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The first store, the one with 7 apples for 5.46 has a better deal.

Step-by-step explanation:

To be able to more easily compare the 2 prices, we need to find the price for <u>one</u> apple at each store. To do this, we can divide the price by the number of apples in each equation.

5.46/7=.78

3.95/5=.79

.78<.79 so the first store has a better deal.

Hope this helps!
