A number is six greater than 12 times another number the sum of the two numbers is 214 find both numbers

1 answer:

6 0

Let x and y represent the two numbers.
.. x = 6 +12y . . . . . one number is 6 greater than 12 times another
.. x + y = 214 . . . . their total is 214

Substitute for x in the second equation using the first equation.
.. (6 +12y) +y = 214
.. 13y = 208 . . . . . . . . simplify and subtract 6
.. y = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 13
.. x = 214 -y = 198

The numbers are 198 and 16.

Tell whether the sequence is arithmetic. If it is, identify the common difference.

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Option A is correct not arithmetic

Explanation:

We have given terms $\frac{1}{2},{1}{3},{1}{4}$ these terms are not an arithmetic progression because

Arithmetic progression is the sequence of terms in which difference between successive and proceeding terms is same.

$d=a_2-a_1$

we can see the difference between $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ is $\frac{-1}{6}$

Whereas, the difference between $\frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$ is $\frac{-1}{12}$ .

What is the relationship between the discriminant of a quadratic and its graph?

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

In a quadratic equation of the shape:

y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

we hate that the discriminant is equal to:

D = b^2 - 4*a*c

This thing appears in the Bhaskara's formula for the roots of the quadratic equation:

$x = \frac{-b +-\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}$

You can see that the determinant is inside a square root, this means that if D is smaller than zero we will have imaginary roots (the graph never touches the x-axis)

If D = 0, the square root term dissapear, and this implies that both roots of the equation are the same, this means that the graph touches the x axis in only one point, wich coincides with the minimum/maximum of the graph)

If D > 0 we have two different roots, so the graph touches the x-axis in two different points.
