Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
11
Discussion:
Let "n" be the smaller number. Then
n * (n+5) = 176.
My first reaction to this problem was to factor 176 in my head. That's 176 = 16 * 11 and 16 is 5 more than 11. So that's the solution!.... Now let's solve it using the brute force approach:
n(n+5) = 176 =>
n^2 + 5n - 176 = 0 => use the quadratic formula
n = ( -5 +\- sqrt( 5^2 - 4(1)(-176)) ) /2
= ( -5 +\- sqrt( 25 + 704) )/ 2
= ( -5 +\- sqrt (729) ) /2 => as sqrt(729) = 27
= (-5 +\- 27) / 2 =>
= (-5 + 27)/2 or ( -5 -27)/2 =>
= 22/2 or -32/2 =>
= 11 or -16
But -16 is not allowed as the question wants a positive value.
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
y = -1/2x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
We have our equation in standard form: -x - 2y = 8. We can use simplifying rules to isolate y on one side of the equation and give us our y = mx + b format. I'll begin by adding x to both sides.
-x - 2y = 8
-2y = x + 8
Now that we have y on one side, we can divide everything by -2.
-2y/-2 = x/-2 + 8/-2
y = -1/2x - 4
That looks like y = mx + b form.
If you have any further questions or need clarification on anything, let me know!
The formula for simple interest is
I=PRT
here P=$1200
R=5% or 0.05
T=4 years
plugging in the formula we get
I=1200*0.05*4=240
Balance after four years =1200+240=$1440
Answer:
y=3x+8
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula is L(x)=f(a)+f(a)(x-a)
This is for linearization
