Answer:
The coordinate of the wells are
![(-4 -\sqrt[]{\frac{53}{2}}, 70+15\sqrt[]{\frac{53}{2}})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%28-4%20-%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B53%7D%7B2%7D%7D%2C%2070%2B15%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B53%7D%7B2%7D%7D%29)
![(-4 +\sqrt[]{\frac{53}{2}}, 70-15\sqrt[]{\frac{53}{2}})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%28-4%20%2B%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B53%7D%7B2%7D%7D%2C%2070-15%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B53%7D%7B2%7D%7D%29)
Step-by-step explanation:
The y coordinate of the stream is given by
. Also, the y coordinate of the houses are determined by y=-15x+10. We will assume that the houses are goint to be built on the exact position where we build the wells. We want to build the wells at the exat position in which both functions cross each other, so we have the following equation

or equivalently
(by summing 15x and substracting 10 on both sides)
Dividing by 2 on both sides, we get

Recall that given the equation of the form
the solutions are
![x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-b%20%5Cpm%20%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bb%5E2-4ac%7D%7D%7B2a%7D)
Taking a =2, b = 16 and c = -21, we get the solutions
![x_1 = -4 -\sqrt[]{\frac{53}{2}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x_1%20%3D%20-4%20-%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B53%7D%7B2%7D%7D)
![x_2 = -4 +\sqrt[]{\frac{53}{2}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x_2%20%3D%20-4%20%2B%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B53%7D%7B2%7D%7D)
If we replace this values in any of the equations, we get
![y_1 = 70+15\sqrt[]{\frac{53}{2}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y_1%20%3D%2070%2B15%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B53%7D%7B2%7D%7D)
![y_2 = 70-15\sqrt[]{\frac{53}{2}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y_2%20%3D%2070-15%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B53%7D%7B2%7D%7D)
Answer:
(x-12) (x+12)
Step-by-step explanation:
If you factor it out since both are perfect squares you would place an x on each side and then find the square root of 144, which is 12 and put a positive and a negative in each parenthesis.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Rearrange - 4x - 5y = - 4 into this form
Add 4x to both sides
- 5y = 4x - 4 ( divide all terms by - 5 )
y = -
+
← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - 
Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus
y = -
x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (3, - 2) into the partial equation
- 2 = -
+ c ⇒ c = - 2 +
= 
y = -
x +
← in slope- intercept form
Answer:
C. Divide both sides of the equation by -2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The goal of the equation is to isolate x. In order to do that we have to remove the '-2' by doing the inverse operation. That is the opposite operation, for example addition and subtraction, multiplication and division.
Since x is being multiplied by -2, we do the inverse which is division.
