    xy = -1
x + y = 2

  x + y = -2
- x         - x
        y = -x - 2

                           xy = -1
                  x(-x + 2) = -1
              x(-x) + x(2) = -1
                   -x² + 2x = -1
                         + 1   + 1
-x² + 2x + 1 = 0
-1(x²) - 1(-2x) - 1(-1) = 0
           -1(x² - 2x - 1) = 0
                     -1           -1
                x² - 2x - 1 = 0
x = -(-2) ± √((-2)² - 4(1)(-1))
                      2(1)
x = 2 ± √(4 - 4(-1))
                2
x = 2 ± √(4 + 4)
              2
x = 2 ± √(8)
           2
x = 2 ± 2√(2)
           2
x = 1 ± √(2)

               x + y = 2
  (1 ± √(2)) + y = 2
- (1 ± √(2))       - (1 ± √(2))
                     y = 1 ± √(2)
               (x, y) = (1 ± √(2), 1 ± √(2))

The numbers that multiply to -1 and add to 2 are 1 ± √(2).

a recipe for pie crust calls for 2/3 cups of flour. a chef is making 1/2 of the recipe. how much flour should the chef use?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

1/3 cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

The recipe originally calls for 2/3 cups of flower.  However, if the chef only wants to make <u>half</u> of the recipe, we must divide the original recipe by 2.  Dividing by 2 is the same as multiplying by 1/2.

2/3 * 1/2 = 2/6 (multiply across)

Simplify 2/6 - 1/3.

Mindy's dog, Rex, weighed 80 pounds a year ago. Now he weighs 92 pounds. What is the percent increase in his weight?
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent increase, use the equation:

percent of increase=<u>amount of increase</u>

                                     original amount

The amount of increase is 92-80 = 12.  The original amount of 80; this gives us

12/80 = 0.15 = 15%
