Answer:

b = a + 2 or b = 2 - a

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for b:

-4 + a^2 + 4 b - b^2 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

(2 + a - b) (-2 + a + b) = 0

Split into two equations:

2 + a - b = 0 or -2 + a + b = 0

Subtract a + 2 from both sides:

-b = -a - 2 or -2 + a + b = 0

Multiply both sides by -1:

b = a + 2 or -2 + a + b = 0

Subtract a - 2 from both sides:

Answer:

b = a + 2 or b = 2 - a

Mike hiked to a lake in 4.5 hours at an average rate of 4 1/5 miles per hour. Pedro hiked the same distance at a rate of 4 3/5 m

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

distance = rate x time

3 and 1/5 = 3.2 and 3 and 3/5 = 3.6

distance = 3.2 x 4.5 = 14.4

14.4 = 3.6 x T

T = 14.4 / 3.6 = 4 <--- Pedro's time

If DF = 170, find the value of x. Then find DE and EF.<br> DE=3x + 20<br> EF=2x + 40

Julli [10]

Answer:

DE = 86

EF = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that point E lies on segment DF, so that ...

DE + EF = DF

(3x +20) +(2x +40) = 170

5x = 110 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 60

x = 22 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

DE = 3×22 +20 = 66 +20 = 86

EF = 2×22 +40 = 44 +40 = 84

Find an equation of the tangent line to the hyperbola y = 3/x at the point (3, 1).

Vesna [10]

Let's find the derivative of that hyperbola in order to find a slope formula to help us with this equation. We already have an x and y value. The derivative is found this way: $y'= \frac{x(0)-3(1)}{x^2}$ so $y'=- \frac{3}{x^2}$ . The derivative supplies us with the slope formula we need to write the equation. Sub in the x value of 3 to find what the slope is: $y'=- \frac{3}{3^2}=- \frac{3}{9}=- \frac{1}{3}$ . So in our slope-intercept equation, x = 3, y = 1, and m = -1/3. Use these values to solve for b. $1=- \frac{1}{3}(3)+b$ so b = 2. The equation, then, for the line tangent to that hyperbola at that given point is $y=- \frac{1}{3}x+2$

What is the difference of the fractions? Use the number line and equivalent fractions to help find the answer.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting a positive number moves you to the left on the number line. Subtracting a negative number moves you in the opposite direction, to the right.

Here, we start at -2 1/2 = -5/2, and we move 1 3/4 = 7/4 to the right from there. Each mark on this number line is 1/4 unit, so we move 7 marks. The results is ...

-2 1/2 -(-1 3/4) = -5/2 +7/4

= -10/4 +7/4 = -3/4
