    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).

If f(x)= -3x-5 and g(x)= 4x-2 find (f+g)(x)
juin [17]

Known :

f(x) = -3x - 5

g(x) = 4x - 2

Asked :

(f+g)(x) = ...?

Answer :

(f+g)(x) = (-3x - 5) + (4x - 2)

= (-3x + 4x) + (-5 - 2)

= x + (-7)

= <u>x </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>7</u>

So, the value of (f+g)(x) is x - 7

A piece of wood is cut into 3 pieces in the ratio 5:4:3 if the length of the shortest piece is 2 how long is the wood
Bad White [126]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5:4:3 = x:y:2

4:3 = y:2                 Cross multiply

3y = 8                     Divide by 3

y = 8/3 = 2.66'

5/x = 3/2

3x = 10                   Divide by 3

x = 10/3

x = 3.33

Length of the wood = 2.66 + 3.33 + 2

Length of the wood = 8 feet

How many solutions does this equation have?
Greeley [361]

Answer:

No solution

Explanation:

-4+19-7f = -15-7

cancel terms on both sides ( add 7f on both sides)

Calculate the sum

-4+19= -15

-4+19=15

15 = -15

The statement 15 = -15 is false so there is no solution :)

steve measured the length of his room and found it to be 9 feet and 6 inches. The width of his room was 11 feet exacly. What is
Art [367]
Length: 114 in.
Width: 132 in.

For length, you have 9 feet and 6 inches. Meaning that if you would want to get the length of his room in inches, you would have to multiply 9 with 12 and add 6.

It's the same thing for the width.
