5x -2 = 63

<u> +2 = +2 (add 2 to both sides)</u>

<u>5x = 65 (your equation)</u>

5 5 (divide both sides by 5)

x = 13

Billy is 13 years old.

(check: 13 x 5 - 2 = 63

What is the equation of the parabola?

Morgarella [4.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Show Solution. Start by writing the equation of the parabola in standard form. The standard form that applies to the given equation is (x−h)2=4p(y−k) ( x − h ) 2 = 4 p ( y − k ) . Thus, the axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis.

5) Establish the indentity (cot + tan ) sin = sec . Show each step to justify your conclusion.

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Identities : -

cot = cos / sin

tan = sin / cos

( cot + tan ) sin = sec

LHS

= ( cot + tan ) sin

= ( ( cos / sin ) + ( sin / cos ) ) sin

= ( ( cos sin ) / sin ) + ( sin² / cos )

= cos + ( sin² / cos )

LCM = cos

= ( cos² / cos ) + ( sin² / cos )

= ( cos² + sin² ) / cos

Identity : -

cos² + sin² = 1

= 1 / cos

= sec

= RHS

Hence proved.

Solving for matrices

muminat

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The augmented matrix for the system of three equaitons is

$\left(\begin{array}{ccccc} 3&-4&-5&|&-27\\5&2&-2&|&11\\5&-4&4&|&-7\end{array}\right)$

Multiply the first row by 5, the second row by -3 and add these two rows:

$\left(\begin{array}{ccccc} 3&-4&-5&|&-27\\0&-26&-19&|&-168\\5&-4&4&|&-7\end{array}\right)$

Subtract the third row from the second:

$\left(\begin{array}{ccccc} 3&-4&-5&|&-27\\0&-26&-19&|&-168\\0&6&-6&|&18\end{array}\right)$

Divide the third row by 6:

$\left(\begin{array}{ccccc} 3&-4&-5&|&-27\\0&-26&-19&|&-168\\0&1&-1&|&3\end{array}\right)$

Now multiply the third equation by 26 and add it to the second row:

$\left(\begin{array}{ccccc} 3&-4&-5&|&-27\\0&-26&-19&|&-168\\0&0&-45&|&-90\end{array}\right)$

You get the system of three equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{r}3x-4y-5z=-27\\-26y-19z=-168\\-45z=-90\end{array}\right.$

From the third equation

$z=\dfrac{90}{45}=2.$

Substitute z=2 into the second equation:

$-26y-19\cdot 2=-168\\ \\-26y-38=-168\\ \\-26y=-168+38=-130\\ \\y=\dfrac{130}{26}=5.$

Now substitute z=2 and y=5 into the first equation:

$3x-4\cdot 5-5\cdot 2=-27\\ \\3x-20-10=-27\\ \\3x-30=-27\\ \\3x=-27+30=3\\ \\x=1.$

The solution is (1,5,2)

What is a reasonable estimate for the solution? O (1,-3/4) O (-3/4,1) O (-1,3/4) O (3/4,-1)

Zina [86]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question is incomplete, as the equations or graph or table(s) were not given.

However, I'll give a general way of solving this.

Take for instance, the equations are:

$y = \frac{4}{3}x - 1$

$y = \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{1}{2}$

To do this, we start by equating both equations.

$y = y$

i.e.

$\frac{4}{3}x - 1= \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{1}{2}$

Collect Like Terms

$\frac{4}{3}x - \frac{2}{3}x= 1 - \frac{1}{2}$

Take LCM

$\frac{4x- 2x}{3}= \frac{2 - 1}{2}$

$\frac{2x}{3}= \frac{1}{2}$

Cross Multiply

$2x * 2 = 3 * 1$

$4x = 3$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{3}{4}$

Substitute 3/4 for x in $y = \frac{4}{3}x - 1$

$y = \frac{4}{3} * \frac{3}{4} - 1$

$y = 1 - 1$

$y = 0$

Hence:

$(x,y) = (\frac{3}{4},0)$
