Solve the system of equations 2r + 2s = 50 and 2r – s = 17.

1 answer:

6 0

Eq1) 2r+2s=50
eq2) 2r-s=17

solve for s in equation2 (eq2)

-s=17-2r
s=-17+2r
Substitute s into equation1 (eq1)
2r+2(-17+2r)=50
2r-34+4r=50
6r-34=50
6r=50+34
6r=84
r=14
Substitute into either equation and solve for s
2(14)-s=17
28-s=17
-s=17-28
-s=-11
s=11

Your Answer: G(x) = (x − 5)²

I just finished my semester exam, and this was one of the questions. I guessed on this question because I had no clue of what the answer was, and lucky me, I got the question right :D

Hope this helps y'all with your test :)

Find the logarithmic function y = logbx that passes through the points

katovenus [111]

$b\in(0,\ 1)\ \cup\ (1,\ \infty)\\x > 0\\y\in\mathbb{R}\\--------------------------\\\\y=\log_bx\\\\For\ (1,\ 0)\to x=1,\ y=0.\ Substitute:\\\\\log_b1=0\to b^0=1\to b\in(0,\ 1)\ \cup\ (1,\ \infty)\\\\For\ (116,\ 2)\to x=116,\ y=2.\ Substitute:\\\\\log_b116=2\to b^2=116\to b=\sqrt{116}\\\to b=\sqrt{4\cdot29}\to b=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt{29}\to b=2\sqrt{29}\\\\For\ (4,\ -1)\to x=4,\ y=-1.\ Substitute:\\\\\log_b4=-1\to b^{-1}=4\to b=\dfrac{1}{4}$

Different values of b.

<h3>Answer: There is no logarithmic function whose graph goes through given points.</h3><h3 />

Maybe the second point is $\left(\dfrac{1}{16},\ 2\right)$

Substitute:

$\log_b\dfrac{1}{16}=2\to b^2=\dfrac{1}{16}\to b=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{16}}\to b=\dfrac{1}{4}$

<h3>Then we have the answer:</h3>

$\boxed{y=\log_{\frac{1}{4}}x}$

In the figure below, the two triangular faces of the prism are fight triangles with sides of length 3, 4, and 5. The other three

olasank [31]

The figure of the prism is attached below.

The total surface area of the prism equals the sum of areas of two triangles and the three rectangles.

Surface Area of Prism = Area of 2 Triangles + Area of 3 Rectangles.

Area of a Triangle = 0.5 x Base x Height
Area of a Triangle = 0.5 x 3 x 4 = 6 square units

There are 3 rectangles. From the figure we can see that the bottom most rectangle has the dimensions 4 by 6. The left most rectangle has the dimensions 3 x 6 and the right most rectangle has the dimensions 5 by 6.

So, the Area of 3 rectangles will be = (4 x 6) + (3 x 6) + (5 x 6) = 72 square units

The Surface Area of the prism will be:

Surface Area = 2 (4) + 72 = 84 square units

Thus the correct answer is option A
