Answer:

-7 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this problem by setting up a system of equations. Lets call the first number x, and the second number y. Now:

x*y=-42

x+y=-1

You can subtract y from both sides of the second equation to get x=-y-1, which you can then substitute into the first:

(-y-1)*y=-42

-y^2-y=-42

y^2+y-42=0

Solving the quadratic equation:

(y-6)(y+7)=0

y=-7 or 6

x= 6 or -7

When one of the numbers is -7, the other is 6, and when it is 6, the other is -7. Hope this helps!

Select the correct answer. Which statement best defines the term principal? A. It is an arrangement in which you buy now and pay

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. It is the original amount of money the bank loans the borrower.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's recall that are five basic elements for calculating the payment of a loan:

1. The principal. How much money you borrow.

2. The interest rate. How much money you will pay in addition to the principal.

3. The period of time. How long will it takes you to pay the loan.

4. The frequency of payment. Will you pay every month?, every quarter?, every year or maybe every two weeks?

5. Additional payments. When you have additional income seasonally and you want to lower either the period of time or the interests to pay.

Which measurements are correct? round side lengths to the nearest hundredth. check all that apply. m∠a = 57° m∠b = 15° c ≈ 10.89

The correct measurements of the surveyors movement from all the options are; m∠b = 15° and h ≈ 31.28 ft

<h3>What are the correct elevation measurements?</h3>

From the image attached, we see that;

A surveyor found the angle of elevation from the ground to the top from a point = 33°

Now, the surveyor moves 20 ft towards the building and the angle of elevation becomes 48°. This means that ∠A and 48° are supplementary to each other.

Thus;

∠A + 48° = 180°

∠A = 180 - 48

∠A = 132°

From sum of angles in a triangle;

∠B + 33° + 132° = 180°

∠B = 180 - 165°

∠B = 15°

Using sine rule, we know that;

sin 33/C = sin B/20

Thus;

sin 33/C = sin 15/20

Solving for C gives;

C = 42.22

From trigonometric ratios, h/c = sin 48

h = 42.22 sin 48

h = 31.28 ft
