Let the first number be x and decide number be y
therefore x+y = -42
also. x-y = 52 using the process of elimination
we get: 2x = 10
we divide both sides by 2, which gives us x=5
then we substitute the value of x in the first equation
that gives us. 5+y = -42
thus. y = -47

In factored form please help
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

3rd option

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{3x^2-3}{x^2-5x+4} ( factorise numerator and denominator )

3x² - 3 ← factor out 3 from each term

= 3(x² - 1²) ← x² - 1 is a difference of squares and factors in general as

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)

x² - 1

= x² - 1²

= (x - 1)(x + 1) , then

3x² - 3 = 3²(x - 1)(x + 1) ← in factored form

--------------------------------

x² - 5x + 4

consider the factors of the constant term (+ 4) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 5)

the factors are - 1 and - 4 , since

- 1 × - 4 = + 4 and - 1 - 4 = - 5 , then

x² - 5x + 4 = (x - 1)(x - 4)

then

\frac{3x^2-3}{x^2-5x+4} = \frac{3(x-1)(x+1)}{(x-1)(x-4)} ← in factored form

Write the fve-number summary for each set of data
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first arrange the data from ascending to decending order

1,5,8,10,11,14,17,19,20,23

Q1=(N+1)/4

=(10+1)/4

=11/4

=2.75

=2 nd item+(3 rd -2 nd)term

=5+(8-5)

=5+3

=8

Q2=(N+1)/2

=(10+1)/2

=11/2

=5.5 term

=(5 th term+6 th term)

=(11+14)/2

=25/2

=12.5

Q3=3(N+1)/4

=3(10+1)/4

=3*11/4

=33/4

=8.25

=8 th term +(9 th -8 th )term

=19+(20-19)

=19+1

=20

The graph of a piecewise defined function is given. evaluate f(-2), f(0), f(1)
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

because when x = -2 on the graph the y is -2 (-2,-2)

when the x values is 0 the y value is 1 (0,1)

and when x is 1 the y value is 2. (1,2)

hope this helps. have a good day
