Multiply top equation by -2, then add equations so b drops out....solve for a...plug in a to get b

ozzi3 years ago

Multiply the first equation by -2. This gives you a positive and a negative 8b, which can cancel out, leaving you with -16a = -40 and 5a = 62, which can be added together to make -11a = 22. Divide 22 by -11 to get a alone. A then equals -2. Plug -2 in for a in either equation. Solve for b, giving you -9. Plug these in again just to check if you'd like.

So, as a quick recap, just a is -2 and b is -9. Hope I helped!

Highschool level trigonometry!!! Need help knowing step by step how to find answer!

Goshia [24]

Answer:

$\theta \approx 82.34^\circ$

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the attached diagram. (Apologies if the shading or resolution is a bit off.)

So, we want to find θ.

Since we formed a right triangle, we can use right triangle ratios.

We know the measure of the adjacent side to θ and the hypotenuse.

Therefore, we will use the cosine ratio:

$\displaystyle \cos(\theta)=\frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$

The adjacent side is 2 and the hypotenuse is 15. By substitution:

$\displaystyle \cos(\theta)=\frac{2}{15}$

Now, we will take the inverse cosine of both sides. So:

$\displaystyle \theta=\cos^{-1}\Big(\frac{2}{15}\Big)$

Use a calculator. Hence:

$\theta \approx 82.34^\circ$

The angle between the ground and the ladder is about 82.34°.

The quantity q varies inversely with the square of m and directly with the product of r and x. When q is 2.5, mis 4 and the

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the quantity q varies inversely with the square of m and directly with the product of r and x, then the variation equation is

$q=k\frac{rx}{m^2}$

When q=2.5, m= 4 and the

product of rx = 8.

We plug in this values to get;

$2.5=k(\frac{8}{4^2})$

$2.5=k(\frac{8}{16})$

$2.5=\frac{1}{2}k$

Multiply both sides by 2

$k=2.5\times 2=5$

The constant of proportionality is 5.
