Plot and connect the points A(4, -3), B(-2, -3), C(-1, 1), D(5, 1), and find the area of the parallelogram it forms.

Solve |p + 2| = 10Solve |p + 2| = 10 {-12} {-8, 8} {-12, 8}

valentinak56 [21]

By definition, we have

$|p+2| = \begin{cases} p+2 &\text{ if } p+2 \geq 0 \\-p-2 &\text{ if } p+2 < 0 \end{cases}$

So, we have to solve two different equations, depending of the possible range for the variable. We have to remember about these ranges when we decide to accept or discard the solutions:

Suppose that $p+2\geq 0 \iff p \geq -2$

In this case, the absolute value doesn't do anything: the equation is

$p+2 = 10 \iff p = 10-2 = 8$

We are supposing $p \geq -2$ , so we can accept this solution.

Now, suppose that $p+2 < 0 \iff p < -2$ . Now the sign of the expression is flipped by the absolute value, and the equation becomes

$-p-2 = 10 \iff -p = 12 \iff p = -12$

Again, the solution is coherent with the assumption, so we can accept this value as well.

The sum of 5 times a larger number and twice a smaller is 5. The difference of 4 times the larger and the smaller number is 4. F

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

1 and 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the smaller number x and the larger number y.

This means 5y+2x=5.

Also, 4y-x=4.

This is a system of equations. There are two main ways two solve this.

Method 1: Substitution

5y+2x=5

4y-x=4

Solve for one of the variables, then substitute it back into one of the equations to solve for the other variable.

I will take 4y-x=4 and solve for x.

4y=4+x

x=4y-4

Then substitute for x in the other equation and solve for y.

5y+2x=5

5y+2(4y-4)=5

5y+8y-8=5

13y=13

y=1

Now we can go back to our equation for x and substitute for y.

x=4y-4

x=4(1)-4=0

y, the larger number, is 1 and

x, the smaller number, is 0

Method 2: Elimination

5y+2x=5

4y-x=4

Change the equations so that the coefficient of one of the variables in an equation is opposite the one in the other equation. Then add the equations and solve for each variable.

If I multiply both sides of the second equation, 4y-x=4, by 2, the coefficient of x will become -2. In the first equation, the coefficient is 2, so they will become opposites.

4y-x=4

becomes

8y-2x=8

Now we have 5y+2x=5 and 8y-2x=8.

Add the sides of both equations to cancel the x values.

5y+2x+8y-2x=5+8

13y=13

y=1

like last time, we can substitute for y in any of the original equations to get x.

5y+2x=5

5(1)+2x=5

5+2x=5

2x=0

x=0

y, the larger number, is 1 and

x, the smaller number, is 0

What is the arc length of the subtending arc for an angle of 72 degrees on a circle of radius 4?

Nesterboy [21]

We know that

[the length of a circumference]=2*pi*r
for r= 4 units
[the length of a circumference]=2*pi*4--------------> 25.12 units

if a full circle (360°) has a length---------------------> 25.12 units
arc for an angle of 72 °---------------------------> X
X=72*25.12/360------------> 5.024 units

the answer is
the length of the subtending arc for an angle of 72° is 5.024 units
