The sum of positive integers x and y is 246, and x/y = 5. What is the value of y?

1 answer:

4 0

X=205 y=41 You come across these answers by making an equation or system of equations based on the word problem given. 1. x+y=246 and 2. x÷y=5 . The you would multiply by y on both sides and get x=5y . Then you would substitute for x in the first equation and get (5y)+y=246 . Then you would get 6y=246 . Them you would divide by 6 on both sides and get y=246÷6 . Then you would get y=41. Then you would plug the y value into the first equation. You would get that x+(41)= 246, subtract on both sides and get x=246-41, then you would get an answer of x=205.

Which of the following ordered pairs are solutions to the system of equations below?

Masja [62]

The ordered pair (-1, 6) is the solution to the system of equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are;

3x+2y=9 Eqn 1

y=4x+10 Eqn 2

Putting value of y from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

$3x+2(4x+10)=9\\3x+8x+20=9\\11x=9-20\\11x=-11$

Dividing both sides by 11

$\frac{11x}{11}=\frac{-11}{11}\\x=-1$

Putting x=-1 in Eqn 2

$y=4(-1)+10\\y=-4+10\\y=6$

Solution: (-1, 6)

The ordered pair (-1, 6) is the solution to the system of equations.

Use calculus to find the volume of the following solid S:

Troyanec [42]

S casts a "shadow" on the x-y plane given by the set

$S' = \left\{(x,y) ~:~ -1 \le x \le 1 \text{ and } x^2 \le y \le 1\right\}$

Each cross section is a square whose side length is determined by the vertical distance between y = 1 and y = x², which is |1 - x²|. But since -1 ≤ x ≤ 1, this distance simplifies to 1 - x².

The volume of an infinitesimally thin section is then (1 - x²)² ∆x (where ∆x represents its thickness), and so the volume of S is

$\displaystyle \int_{-1}^1 (1-x^2)^2 \, dx = \int_{-1}^1 (1 - 2x^2 + x^4) \, dx$
