Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
The integers 5 and 5 sum to 10 and have the largest possible product.
___
The two numbers will be x and (10-x). Their product is x(10-x), which describes a downward-opening parabola with zeros at x=0 and x=10. The maximum (vertex) of that parabola is halfway between the zeros, at x=5. Both integers have the same value: 5. Their product is 25.
If there is a requirement the integers be distinct, then 6 and 4 are the integers of choice. Their product is 24.

Answer:
- geometric sequence with initial value 20 and common ratio 1/2
- average rate of change on [1, 3] = -7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The given points have sequential values of x and values of y that are each 1/2 the value before. The common ratio tells us the sequence is a geometric sequence.
(b) The first given point is (2, 10), so extrapolating backward, we determine the previous point to be ...
... (2-1, 10/(1/2)) = (1, 20)
Thus, we have enough information to determine the average slope between n=1 and n=3.
... (difference in y)/(difference in n) = (5 -20)/(3 -1) = -15/2 = -7.5
<h3>Answer:</h3>
none of these has "no solution"
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
A. The solution is (8/3, 3)
B. The second equation is -1/2 times the first, so these describe the same line. The system has an <em>infinite number of solutions</em>.
C. The solution is (-4, -2)
D. The solution is (4, -2)
E. The second equation is 2 times the first, so these describe the same line. The system has an <em>infinite number of solutions</em>.
_____
A system of equations will have "no solution" when it describes parallel lines—lines that do not intersect. In standard form, such equations are recognizable by their different constants. For example,
- 3x -4y = -4
- 3x -4y = 20 . . . . . . 20 is different from -4
have different constants, so the equations describe parallel lines.
We could multiply one of these by -2 and the system would still be "inconsistent"—having no solution.
Answer: John's situation
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation for each situation.
John’s situation:
The amount of money that John has (y) is equal to his school account (40) minus the product of the number of days (x) and the amount he spends per day( 3)
y =40-3x
As days pass by, John has less money (negative rate of change)
Judy's situation
The amount of money that Judy has in her savings account (y) is equal to the product of the number of days (x) and the amount he saves per day (20/2)
y = x (20/2)
