3x+4y=24. What is the smallest integer solution for x+y?

2 answers:

6 0

lets solve for x, and then we'll find an integer solution:
3x + 4y = 24
3x = 24 - 4y
x = (24 - 4y)/3
so the right side has to be an integer, or 24 - 4y has to be a multiple of 3:
24 - 4y
then, y has to be 3, see:
x = (24 - 4y)/3
x = (24 - 4(3))/3
x = (24 - 12)/3
x = (12)/3
x = 4
then, we have x = 4 and y = 3

Since we are looking for integer solutions, x can get really small, as long as it remains a multiple of 12. This ensures that y can get it back to 24. Therefore, the answer is -infinity.

An airplane is flying at a speed of 500 mi/h at an altitude of one mile. The plane passes directly above a radar station at time

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

a) $s=\sqrt{1+d^2}$

b)d(t)=500t

c) $s(t) =\sqrt{1+250000t^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

d = Horizontal distance

s = the distance between the plane and the radar station

The horizontal distance (d), the one mile altitude, and s form a right triangle.

So, use Pythagoras theorem

$Hypotenuse^2=Perpendicular^2+Base^2$

$s^2=1^2+d^2$

a) $s=\sqrt{1+d^2}$

(b) Express d as a function of the time t (in hours) that the plane has flown.

$distance = speed \times time$

d(t)=500t

$s(t) =\sqrt{1+d^2}$

using b

$s(t) =\sqrt{1+(500t)^2}\\s(t) =\sqrt{1+250000t^2}$

In a quadrilateral ABCD, AB ∥ DC and AD ∥ BC . Find the perimeter of ΔCOD if the diagonals of the quadrilateral intersect each o

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer Perimeter = 33in

Step-by-step explanation:

AC = 20

BD = 20

AB = 13

O is the midpoint

OD = OC = 20/2 = 10

AB = DC = 13 in

P = DC + OD + OC = 13+10+10 = 33in

jolli1 [7]

In fact, both Amanda's and Stephen's profs are correct; they are just using different supplementary angles. Amanda's is using the supplementary angles ∠1 and ∠4, and ∠3 and ∠4, whereas Stephen is using ∠1 and ∠2, and ∠2 and ∠3. Please check the picture to visualize this more effectively.
