Answer: The value of x- 2y is a. \pm 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  x and y are two positive real numbers such that x^2+4y^2=17   and xy= 2 .

Consider (x-2y)^2=x^2-2(x)(2y)+(2y)^2\ \ \ [(a+b)^2=(a^2-2ab+b^2)]

=x^2-4xy+4y^2

=x^2+4y^2-4(xy)

Put  x^2+4y^2=17   and xy= 2 , we get

(x-2y)^2=17-4(2)=17-8=9

\Rightarrow\ (x-2y)^2=9

Taking square root on both sides , we get'

x-2y= \pm3

Hence, the value of x- 2y is a. \pm 3.

mrs.saledo wants to buy 1 1/2 quarts of whipping cream if whipping cream is sold in only 1 pint containers , how many containers
hram777 [196]

Answer:

She needs to buy 3 such containers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mrs. Saledo wants to buy 1\frac{1}{2} quarts of whipping cream.

Now, 1\frac{1}{2} quarts = \frac{3}{2} quarts = \frac{3}{2} \times 2 = 3 pints.

Since we know that 1 US liquid quart = 1 US liquid pints.

If the whipping cream is sold in only 1 - pint containers, then she needs to buy 3 such containers. ( Answer )
