Answer:

The integers are 4 and 7 or -2 and 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can make a system of equations with the description of the two integers.

1. x = y + 3

2. 2x + 2 = y^2

The simplest and the fastest way to solve this system in this case is substitution. You can substitute x for y + 3 in the second equation.

1. x = y + 3

2. 2(y + 3) + 2 = y^2

Now simplify and solve the second one. For convenience, I will just disregard the first equation for now.

2y + 6 + 2 = y^2

y^2 - 2y - 8 = 0

You can factor this equation to solve for y.

(y - 4) (y + 2) = 0

y = 4, y = -2

Now we can substitute the value of y for x in the first equation.

x = 7, x = 1

Given that f.x 3x-2 over x+1 g[x] x +5 evaluate f[-4] and gf [-2]

Jobisdone [24]

The value of f[ -4 ] and g°f[-2] are $\frac{14}{3}$ and 13 respectively.

<h3>What is the value of f[-4] and g°f[-2]?</h3>

Given the function;

$f(x) = \frac{3x-2}{x+1}$
$g(x)=x+5$
f[ -4 ] = ?
g°f[ -2 ] = ?

For f[ -4 ], we substitute -4 for every variable x in the function.

$f(x) = \frac{3x-2}{x+1}\\\\f(-4) = \frac{3(-4)-2}{(-4)+1}\\\\f(-4) = \frac{-12-2}{-4+1}\\\\f(-4) = \frac{-14}{-3}\\\\f(-4) = \frac{14}{3}$

For g°f[-2]

g°f[-2] is expressed as g(f(-2))

$g(\frac{3x-2}{x+1}) = (\frac{3x-2}{x+1}) + 5\\\\g(\frac{3x-2}{x+1}) = \frac{3x-2}{x+1} + \frac{5(x+1)}{x+1}\\\\g(\frac{3x-2}{x+1}) = \frac{3x-2+5(x+1)}{x+1}\\\\g(\frac{3x-2}{x+1}) = \frac{8x+3}{x+1}\\\\We\ substitute \ in \ [-2] \\\\g(\frac{3x-2}{x+1}) = \frac{8(-2)+3}{(-2)+1}\\\\g(\frac{3x-2}{x+1}) = \frac{-16+3}{-2+1}\\\\g(\frac{3x-2}{x+1}) = \frac{-13}{-1}\\\\g(\frac{3x-2}{x+1}) = 13$

Therefore, the value of f[ -4 ] and g°f[-2] are $\frac{14}{3}$ and 13 respectively.

What is a detailed example of simple interest?

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Car loans, amortized monthly, and retailer installment loans, also calculated monthly, are examples of simple interest; as the loan balance dips with each monthly payment, so does the interest. Certificates of deposit (CDs) pay a specific amount in interest on a set date, representing simple interest

Find the slope of the tangent line to the given polar curve at the point specified by the value of θ

MariettaO [177]

The given curve has equation

r(θ) = 9 + 8 cos(θ)

and its derivative is

dr/dθ = -8 sin(θ)

When θ = π/3, we have r (π/3) = 13, and dr/dθ (π/3) = -4√3.

Differentiate these with respect to θ :

dy/dθ = dr/dθ sin(θ) + r(θ) cos(θ)

dx/dθ = dr/dθ cos(θ) - r(θ) sin(θ)

In polar coordinates, we have

y(θ) = r(θ) sin(θ)

x(θ) = r(θ) cos(θ)

and when θ = π/3, we have y (π/3) = 13√3/2 and x (π/3) = 13/2.

The slope of the tangent line to the curve is dy/dx. By the chain rule,

dy/dx = dy/dθ • dθ/dx = (dy/dθ) / (dx/dθ)

dy/dx = (dr/dθ sin(θ) + r(θ) cos(θ)) / (dr/dθ cos(θ) - r(θ) sin(θ))

When θ = π/3, the slope is

dy/dx = (-4√3 sin(π/3) + 13 cos(π/3)) / (-4√3 cos(π/3) - 13 sin(π/3))

dy/dx = (-4√3 (√3/2) + 13 (1/2)) / (-4√3 (1/2) - 13 (√3/2))

dy/dx = - 1/(17√3)

So, the tangent line has slope -1/(17√3) and passes through (13/2, 13√3/2). Using the point-slope formula, its equation is

y - 13√3/2 = -1/(17√3) (x - 13/2)

y = -(x - 338)/(17√3)
