    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).

Please help me ASAP !!
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<1+<2=90 complementary

<1=4 times <2

X+4x=90

5x=90

X=18

<1=18×4=72 degrees

<2=18 degrees

<1=<3 because they are vertical

Do <3= 72

<3+<4=180 because they are supplementary

72+<4=180

<4=108 degrees

<3=72 degrees

Which of the following equations is an example of inverse variation between variables x and y ?
Mademuasel [1]
The option C) y = 15/x

a) y = 15 x is an example of direct variation, with proportionality constant = 15

b) is an example of linear variation (it is the equation of a straight line that does not pass through the origin)

c) y = 15/x => y*x = 15 = constant which is the characteristic of an inverse relation

d) y = x/15 is an example of an inverse relation, with proportion constant = 1/15
