Answer:

b= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find out value of x

x-2 = 0

x= 2

Step 2: Substitute value of x in the equation

x^3 + bx^2- 4 = 0

(2)^3 + b (2)^2 - 4 = 0

8 + 4b - 4=0

4 - 4b = 0

4b = -4

b = -1

(Elimination Strategies) Which of these strategies would eliminate a variable in the system of equations? x - 2y = 115x + 3y = -

tester [92]

As we can see the only one is the option C

-5*(x-2y=11)=-5x+10y=-55

5x+3y=-11

then we add the equations

13y=-66

y=-66/13=-5.07

as we can see C is the correct answer

Find the area of the surface. the part of the hyperbolic paraboloid z = y2 â x2 that lies between the cylinders x2 + y2 = 4 and

lukranit [14]

$x=u\cos v,y=u\sin v\implies z=u^2\sin^2v-u^2\cos^2v=-u\cos2v$

$\mathbf s(u,v)=\langle u\cos v,u\sin v,-u\cos2v\rangle$

$\mathrm dS=\|\mathbf s_u\times\mathbf s_v\|=u\sqrt{1+4u^2}\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv$

$\displaystyle\iint_{\mathcal S}\mathrm dS=\int_{v=0}^{v=2\pi}\int_{u=2}^{u=5}u\sqrt{1+4u^2}\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv=\dfrac{(101^{3/2}-17^{3/2})\pi}6$

Are 4/7 and 12/21 equivalent fractions? Why or why not?

Anni [7]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

12/21 simplified is 4/7. if you divide the numerator (12) by 3 and the denominator (21) by 3, you get 4 and 7, or 4/7 if you put it together.
