The first thing you want to do is plug in x and y into both equations:

a(3) + b(4) = 4

b(3) + a(4) = 8

rearrange to line up a’s and b’s

3a + 4b = 4

4a + 3b = 8

now you want to choose a or b and multiply each equation by a number to make them have the same amount of a’s or b’s.

4(3a + 4b = 4) = 12a + 16b = 16

3(4a + 3b = 8) = 12a + 9b = 24


Now we subtract the bottom equation from the top and solve for b:

12a + 16b - (12a + 9b) = 16 - 24

7b = -8

b = -8/7


Now we plug back in for b to one of the original equations:

3a + 4(-8/7) = 4

3a + (-32/7) = 4

3a - (32/7) = 4

3a = 4 + (32/7)

3a = (28/7) + (32/7)

3a = 60/7

a = (60/7)/3 = 20/7.


Finally, plug a and b in together to double check using the second equation.

4a + 3b = 8

4(20/7) + 3(-8/7) = ?

(80/7) - (24/7) = ?

56/7 = 8.

If the largest angle of a triangle is 120° and it is included between sides of 1.5 and 0.5, then (to the nearest tenth) the larg
12345 [234]

Answer:

1.8 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The questions which involve calculating the angles and the sides of a triangle either require the sine rule or the cosine rule. In this question, the two sides that are given are adjacent to each other and the given angle is the included angle. This means that the angle is formed by the intersection of the two lines. Therefore, cosine rule will be used to calculate the length of the largest side of the triangle. The cosine rule is:

b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2*a*c*cos(B).

The question specifies that a=0.5, B=120°, and c=1.5. Plugging in the values:

b^2 = 0.5^2 + 1.5^2 - 2(0.5)(1.5)*cos(120°).

Simplifying gives:

b^2 = 3.25.

Taking square root on the both sides gives b = 1.8 (rounded to the nearest tenth).

This means that the length of the third side is 1.8 units!!!

Given the domain {-4, 0, 5}, what is the range for the relation 12x 6y = 24? a. {2, 4, 9} b. {-4, 4, 14} c. {12, 4, -6} d. {-12,
xz_007 [3.2K]

The domain of the function 12x + 6y = 24 exists {-4, 0, 5}, then the range of the function exists {12, 4, -6}.

<h3>How to determine the range of a function?</h3>

Given: 12x + 6y = 24

Here x stands for the input and y stands for the output

Replacing y with f(x)

12x + 6f(x) = 24

6f(x) = 24 - 12x

f(x) = (24 - 12x)/6

Domain = {-4, 0, 5}

Put the elements of the domain, one by one, to estimate the range

f(-4) = (24 - 12((-4))/6

= (72)/6 = 12

f(0) = (24 - 12(0)/6

= (24)/6 = 4

f(5) = (24 - 12(5)/6

= (-36)/6 = -6

The range exists {12, 4, -6}

Therefore, the correct answer is option c. {12, 4, -6}.

Please help me: Ten athletes ran two races of the same length. The scatter plot shows their times. Identify each of these statem
Lemur [1.5K]

The scatter plot has been attached

Answer:

Options C, D & E are true

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A is wrong because from the scatter plot, only four athletes were faster in the second race than in the first one.

Option B is wrong because only 1 athlete had his second race time differing from the first race time by exactly 2 seconds.

Option C is true because exactly 9 of the times for the first race were at least 16 seconds

Option D is true because there are exactly 3 athletes who had the same time in both races

Option E is true because 8 of the times for the second race were less than 17 seconds
