Suppose the average yearly salary of an individual whose final degree is a​ master's is ​$46 thousand less than twice that of an

individual whose final degree is a​ bachelor's. Combined, two people with each of these educational attainments earn ​$113 thousand. Find the average yearly salary of an individual with each of these final degrees.

Answer:

The average sallary of a Master's is 60 thousand and of a Bachellor's is 53 thousand.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we first need to attribute variables to the unkown quantities. We will call the average salary of Master's "x" and the average salary of a Bachellor's "y". The first information the problem gives us is:

x = 2*y - 46

The second one is:

x + y = 113

We now have two equations and two variables, so we can solve the system. To do that we will use the value for x from the first equation on the second one. We have:

2*y - 46 + y = 113

3*y = 113 + 46

3*y = 159

y = 159/3 = 53

x = 2*(53) - 46 = 60

The average sallary of a Master's is 60 thousand and of a Bachellor's is 53 thousand.

Christopher is analyzing a circle, y^2 + x^2 = 121, and a linear function g(x). Will they intersect?
Sav [38]
Circle: x^2+y^2=121=11^2 => circle with radius 11 and centred on origin.
g(x)=-2x+12   (from given table, find slope and y-intercept)
We can see from the graphics that g(x) will be almost tangent to the circle at (0,11), and that both intersection points will be at x>=11.
To show that this is the case, 
substitute g(x) into the circle
x^2+(-2x+12)^2=121
x^2+4x^2-2*2*12x+144-121=0
5x^2-48x+23=0
Solve using the quadratic formula,
x=(48 ± √ (48^2-4*5*23) )/10
=0.5058 or 9.0942
So both solutions are real and both have positive x-values.
