The line x+ 2y = 9 intersects the curve xy + 18 = 0 at the points A and B. Find the coordinates of A and B.
victus00 [196]
Subtracting the second equation by 18 on both sides, we have xy=-18. Next, we divide both sides by x to get y=-18/x  Plugging that into the first equation, we have x+2(-18/x)=9. Multiplying both sides by x, we get x^2-36=9x. After that, we subtract both sides by 9x to get x^2-9x-36=0. Finding 2 numbers that add up to -9 but multiply to -36, we do a bit of guess and check to find the answers to be -12 and 3. Factoring it, we get 
x^2-12x+3x-36=x(x-12)+3(x-12)=(x+3)(x-12). To find the x values, we have to find out when 0=(x+3)(x-12). This is simple as when you multiply 0 with anything, it is 0. Therefore, x=-3 and 12. Plugging those into x=-18/y, we get x=-18/y and by multiplying y to both sides, we get xy=-18 and then  we can divide both sides by x to get -18/x=y. Plugging -3 in, we get -18/-3=6 and by plugging 12 in we get -18/12=-1.5. Therefore, our points are (-3,6) and (12, -1.5)

Please answer correctly !!!!!!!!! Will mark brainliest !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Step 3  they took the square root incorrectly

Step-by-step explanation:

5 ( x-2)^2 +6 = 86

Subtract 6 from each side

5 ( x-2)^2 +6 -6= 86-6

5 ( x-2)^2  = 80

Divide each side by 5

5 ( x-2)^2  /5 = 80/5

(x-2)^2 = 16

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x-2)^2)  = ±sqrt(16)

x-2 = ±4

Irene tiene una colección de 50 dvd de películas de 90 minutos de duración cada una .Si el precio de cada uno era de 11€ , ¿cuan
Rainbow [258]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. She has a total of 50 DVDs of 90 minutes each one of them. The cost of each DVD was 11€.

2. Therefore, to calculate the total cost of the collection, you must multiply the cost of each DVD by the total number of them:

total=(11)(50)=550€

3. To calculate the total minutes of the collection, you must multiply 90 minutes by the total number of DVDs:

(90min)(50)=4500min

Therefore, the answer is: 550€ and 4500 minutes.

21 marbles out of N are blue; probability of getting a blue one = 30%
MissTica
Probability=\frac{desired}{total}
0.3=\frac{21}{N}
0.3N=21
N=\frac{21}{0.3}
N=70

There are 70 total marbles.
