Y= -(1/2)x+b
to get m you flip it so it is the reciprocal
-2= -(1/2)(6)+b
-2= -3+b add 3 on each side
1=b
y= -(1/2)x+1

The area A, in square meters, of a rectangle with a perimeter of 160 meters is given by the equation A = 80w − w2, where w is th
Sonja [21]

Answer:

the width is 10 m

Step-by-step explanation:

if the relationship between area and width is

A = 80*w − w²

for an area A=700 m² , we have

700 m² = 80*w − w²

w² - 80*w + 700 m² = 0

aw² + b*w + c = 0

where a=1 , b=-80 and c=700

this quadratic equation has as solution the following formula

w = [-b ± √ ( b² - 4*a*c) ]/(2*a)

replacing values

w = [80 ± √ ( 80² - 4*1*700) ]/(2*1) = (80 ± 60)/2

then

w₁=(80 - 60)/2 = 10 m

w₂ =(80 + 60)/2 = 70 m

since the area has the form A= length * width = 80*w − w² = (80− w)*w

then the length of the rectangle is

length = 80− w

for w₁=10 m → length = 80− 10 = 70 m

for w₁=70 m → length = 80− 70 = 10 m

by definition the shorter side is the width ( and the longer one , the length) , therefore the only possible option is the first one .

Thus the width is 10 m

Use linear combination <br><br> 4x-9y=1<br> -2x+3y=-1
kirill [66]

Answer:

  (x, y) = (1, 1/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coefficient in the first equation is -2 times that in the second equation, so adding twice the second equation to the first will eliminate x:

  (4x -9y) +2(-2x +3y) = (1) +2(-1)

  -3y = -1 . . . . simplify

  y = 1/3 . . . . . divide by -3

The y-coefficient in the first equation is -3 times the y-coefficient in the second equation, so adding 3 times the second equation to the first will eliminate y:

  (4x -9y) +3(-2x +3y) = (1) +3(-1)

  -2x = -2 . . . . . . simplify

  x = 1 . . . . . . . . . divide by -3

The solution is (x, y) = (1, 1/3).

Which function below is the inverse of f(x) = X2 - 25?
viva [34]

Answer: f^{-1}(x)=  \sqrt{x+25} and f^{-1}(x)= - \sqrt{x+25}

Step-by-step explanation:

   To find the inverse, we will set f(x) equal to y, swap the x and y values, and then solve for y.

   Given:

f(x) = x² - 25

   Equal to y:

y = x² - 25

   Swamp x and y values:

x = y² - 25

   Add 25 to both sides of the equation:

y² = x + 25

   Square root both sides of the equation:

y=  \sqrt{x+25} and y=  -\sqrt{x+25}

   Interval notation:

f^{-1}(x)=  \sqrt{x+25},\text{and}\;f^{-1}(x)=  -\sqrt{x+25}

List the next four multiples of the fraction 7/12
choli [55]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

\frac{14}{12},\frac{21}{12},\frac{28}{12},\frac{35}{12}

<h2>Why?</h2>

Let's explain with an example the definition of a multiple.

Multiple of the number 1 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and so...

Multiple of the number 3 are: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and so...

A multiple of a number is the repeated sum of itself, from the example:

Multiple of the number 1 are: Itself, (1+1), (1+1+1), (1+1+1+1), (1+1+1+1+1) and so...

Therefore,

Multiple of \frac{7}{12} are:

\frac{7}{12} =\frac{7}{12}(itself)=\frac{7}{12}*1 \\\\\frac{14}{12}= \frac{7}{12}+\frac{7}{12}=\frac{7}{12}*2\\\\\frac{21}{12}=\frac{7}{12}+\frac{7}{12}+\frac{7}{12}=\frac{7}{12}*3\\\\\\\frac{28}{12}=\frac{7}{12}+\frac{7}{12}+\frac{7}{12}+\frac{7}{12}=\frac{7}{12}*4\\\\\frac{35}{12}=\frac{7}{12}+\frac{7}{12}+\frac{7}{12}+\frac{7}{12}+\frac{7}{12}=\frac{7}{12}*5

Have a nice day!
