Answer:
(-5/2, 3/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
[(-5.5+.5)/2, (9.1-6.1)/2)} = (-5/2, 3/2)
Answer:
It isn't necessary but having a positive coefficient for
makes things like completing the square and factoring easier.
Remark
Let the pigs = p
Let the chickens = c
Givens
30 heads is another way of saying that there were 30 creatures in the barnyard. In addition each chicken has 2 legs and each pig has 4
c + p = 30
2C + 4P = 100 (2) Divide (2) by 2
C + 2P = 50 (3) Subtract (1) from (3)
<u>C + P = 30</u>
P = 20
So there were 20 pigs.
Answers: (y = 2) and (x = 1)
Steps:
=Y2-10Y
We move all terms to the left:
-(Y2-10Y)=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-(+Y^2-10Y)=0
We get rid of parentheses
-Y^2+10Y=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-1Y^2+10Y=0
a = -1; b = 10; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 102-4·(-1)·0
Δ = 100
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
Y1=−b−Δ√2aY2=−b+Δ√2a
Δ‾‾√=100‾‾‾‾√=10
Y1=−b−Δ√2a=−(10)−102∗−1=−20−2=+10
Y2=−b+Δ√2a=−(10)+102∗−1=0−2=0
