Hey there!

Let's set up a system of equations to find our answer. We will use x and y, with y being the larger 1.

y=x+8

x²+y²=104

We plug our value for y into the second equation and we get that y is equal to two. We can then plug this into the first equation and we get 10.

Our two numbers are two and ten.

I hope this helps!

Let's plug our y value into the second equation.

x²+x²+64=104

$\bf (\stackrel{r}{4}~,~\stackrel{\theta }{\pi })\qquad \begin{cases} x=&rcos(\theta )\\ &4cos(\pi )\\ &4(-1)\\ &-4\\ y= &rsin(\theta )\\ &4sin(\pi )\\ &4(0)\\ &0\\ \end{cases}\qquad \implies (\stackrel{x}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y}{0})$

Which list of numbers is in order from least to greatest?<br> 3/6 3/10 3/7

lapo4ka [179]

The list of numbers from least to greatest is

3/10 , 3/7, 3/6

This is because the numerator stays the same across all three of these fractions. However, the denominator is changing, and this proves to be a large difference.

Think about it this way: If you cut a pie into ten pieces, then those slices are going to be smaller than if you cut the pie into seven or six pieces.

Part 1 state the domain and range of the given relation.

hram777 [196]

A relation is any set of ordered pairs, which can be thought of as (input, output).

A function is a relation in which NO two ordered pairs have the same first component and different second components.

The set of first components (x-coordinates) in the ordered pairs is the DOMAIN of the relation.

The set of second components (y-coordinates) is the RANGE of the relation.

Part 1:
Domain: {-1, 1, 3, 6}
Range: {2, 2, 2, 2}

Part 2:
To determine whether the given relation represents a function, look at the given relation and ask yourself, “Does every first element (or input) correspond with EXACTLY ONE second element (or output)?”

Remember that a function can only take on 1 output for each input.

It helps to plot the points on the graph and perform the Vertical Line Test (VLT):

The Vertical Line Test allows us to know whether or not a graph is actually a function. If a vertical line intersects the graph in all places at exactly one point, then the relation is a function.

As you can see in the attached screenshot, every vertical line drawn only has 1 point in it. This means that each x-value corresponds to exactly one y-value. The given relation passed the VLT. Therefore, the relation is a function.
