Answer:
x = 23
y = 128
Step-by-step explanation:
Theorem:
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of its remote interior angles.
98 = 2x + 3x - 17
115 = 5x
x = 23
Angles 3x - 17 and y form a linear pair, so they are supplementary.
3x - 17 + y = 180
3(23) - 17 + y = 180
69 - 17 + y = 180
52 + y = 180
y = 128
Answer: 2 is the maximum number of gigabytes
Step-by-step explanation:
Y = 6, x = 5 y = 6, x = 5 y = 6, x = 5
By some properties of logarithms, rewrite the equation as
so that
(<em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em>)² = <em>ab</em>
Expand the left side:
<em>a</em> ² - 4<em>ab</em> + 4<em>b</em> ² = <em>ab</em>
Rearrange terms to get a quadratic equation in <em>a</em>/<em>b</em> :
<em>a</em> ² - 5<em>ab</em> + 4<em>b</em> ² = 0
<em>b</em> must be greater than 0, otherwise log(<em>b</em>) doesn't exist, and the same goes for <em>a</em>. So we can divide by <em>b</em> ² to get
<em>a</em> ²/<em>b</em> ² - 5<em>a</em>/<em>b</em> + 4 = 0
Factorize and solve for <em>a</em>/<em>b</em> :
(<em>a</em>/<em>b</em> - 4) (<em>a</em>/<em>b</em> - 1) = 0
==> <em>a</em>/<em>b</em> = 4 or <em>a</em>/<em>b</em> = 1
However, if <em>a</em>/<em>b</em> = 1, then <em>a</em> = <em>b</em> makes <em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em> = -<em>b</em>. But we must have <em>b</em> > 0, so we omit the second solution and end up with
<em>a</em>/<em>b</em> = 4
