PLEASE HELP ASAP!: Solve for a and b 6a-b=-5 4a-3b = -8

Mathematics
1 answer:
klemol [59]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

a = -1/2

b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Rewrite 1st equation

-b = -5 - 6a

b = 5 + 6a

Step 2: Substitution

4a - 3(5 + 6a) = -8

Step 3: Solve

4a - 15 - 18a = -8

-14a - 15 = -8

-14a = 7

a = -1/2

Step 4: Plug in <em>a</em> to find <em>b</em>

6(-1/2) - b = -5

-3 - b = -5

-b = -2

b = 2

A weather plane took to the skies to measure the speed of the jet stream. The plane flew 1920 km with the jet stream as a tail w
Alex
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:
 p: plane speed
 w: wind speed
 With the wind in favor, the speed is:
 p + w = 1920/2&#10;
 With the wind against the speed is:
 p - w = 1920 / 3.2&#10;
 Rewriting both equations, we have the following system of equations:
 p + w = 960&#10;&#10;p - w = 600
 Then, solving the system of equations (graphically for example), we have the solution is: 
 p = 780&#10;&#10;w = 180
 Therefore, jet stream's speed:
 w = 180 km / h&#10;
 Answer:
 
A) p + w = 960; p - w = 600; jet stream's speed = 180 km / h

How would you solve these 2 maths problems?

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(9)

Expand and simplify right side and compare coefficients of like terms on left side.

(x - 2)(x² + ax + b) + c

= x³ + ax² + bx - 2x² - 2ax - 2b + c

= x³ + x²(a - 2) + x(b - 2a) - 2b + c

compare with

x³ + 2x² - 3x + 4

x² terms

a - 2 = 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

a = 4

x terms

b - 2a = - 3 ← substitute a = 4

b - 8 = - 3 ( add 8 to both sides )

b = 5

constant terms

- 2b + c = 4 ← substitute b = 5

- 10 + c = 4 ( add 10 to both sides )

c = 14

Thus a = 4, b = 5 and c = 14

-------------------------------------------------

(10)

Since both functions cross the x- axis at - 2 then (- 2, 0) satisfies both, that is

f(- 2) = (-2)^{4} + a(- 2)³ + b(- 2)² + 36(- 2) + 144 = 0, that is

- 16 - 8a + 4b - 72 + 144 = 0

- 8a + 4b + 56 = 0

- 8a + 4b = - 56 → (1)

and

g(- 2) = (-2)^{4} + (a + 3)(- 2)³ - 23(- 2)² + (b + 10)(- 2) + 40 = 0, that is

- 16 - 8(a + 3) - 92 - 2(b + 10) + 40 = 0

- 16 - 8a - 24 - 92 - 2b - 20 + 40 = 0

- 8a - 2b - 112 = 0

- 8a - 2b = 112 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term

- 6b = 168 ( divide both sides by - 6 )

b = - 28

Substitute b = - 28 into (2)

- 8a + 56 = 112 ( subtract 56 from both sides )

- 8a = 56 ( divide both sides by - 8 )

a = - 7

Thus a = - 7 and b = - 28

(01.01 MC)Which number line shows the solution to 4 + (−4)?
Rasek [7]

The solution to the statement 4 + (-4) is correctly given by the third number line.

  • The solution given by plot 1 is : (-4) + (-4) as both arrows points 4 units to the left.

  • The solution given by plot 2 is : ( 4 + 4) as both arrows points 4 units to the right.

  • The solution given by plot 3 is (4) + (-4) as one arrow points 4 units to the left and the other points 4 units to the right.

  • The solution given by the plot 4 is (-4 + 8) as one arrow points 4 units to the left and the other points 8 units to the right.

Therefore, the Number line which shows the solution 4 + (-4) is the third number line.
