Ivenika [448]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

2 and -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y ∴ 4x -2y =-16......................Eqn 1

and x+y=-1.................................Eqn 2

this ⇒x=-1-y. Substitute the value of x to be=-1 -y and putting in Eqn 1 yields the following 4(-1-y)-2y =-16 0r -4-4y-2y=-16

⇒-4-6y=-16 0r =-6y=-12 ∴y is 2

⇒ and x is -3

What is the equation of this graph
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

an equation of this graph is : f(x) = a(x-h)²+k when (h,k) the vertex

so : h=5 and k= -4

f(x) = a(x-5)²-4....... now calculate : a

the y- intercept is :  - 6.5 means : f(0) = - 6.5

put x=0 and f(x) = - 6.5

you have : -6.5 = a(0-5)²-4

-6.5 = 25a - 4

25a = -2.5   so : a= -2.5/25= 1/10

the equation is :

<h2>f(x) = (1/10)(x-5)²-4</h2>

Evaluate the series 9 + 3 + 1 +
ryzh [129]

Answer:

9 + 3 + 1 + ......... = 13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The series 9 + 3 + 1 +  is the sum of an infinite geometric sequence. The first term of the series is 9 while the common ratio is 1/3;

to obtain the common ratio we obtain the quotient of any two successive terms, 3/9 or 1/3.

The sum of an infinite geometric series with first term a and common ratio r is given by;

S_{n}=\frac{a}{1-r}

Plug in the values of a and r into the formula;

S_{n}=\frac{9}{1-\frac{1}{3} }\\\\\\S_{n}=\frac{27}{2}=13.5

In the figure above, AB = AD, BC = CD, BE = 2, BC = 4, and AC = 10. What is the area of triangle ABD?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

how i actually see this is : the scale factor is 3 and we know that when length are multiplied by k the area is multiplied by k^2.

there fore 3*3*42 = 378

Step-by-step explanation:

And Now, consider the area of the entire triangle(ADG) = 1/2(AG x ... The prompt tells us that AB=BC=CD, so AD is 3*CD, so we have ... Apr 10, 2018 • Reply ... 4. Suzanne ashcraft.
