Solve x +2y = -2, 4x + 2y = -17

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alina [70]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = -5

y = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x+2y = -2

4x + 2y = -17

_______________

-4(x+2y = -2)

4x+ 2y = -17

_______________

-4x - 8y = 8

4x + 2y = -17

_______________

-6y = -9

y = 3/2

plug this value back into 1 of the 2 equations in the original problem to solve for x

x+2y=-2

x + 2(3/2) = -2

x + 3 = -2

x = -5

Let sintheta =2times square root 3/5 and pi/2
Gre4nikov [31]

Given:

sin\theta=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{5},\text{ and }\frac{\pi}{2}

It's required to find cos 2θ.

We use the formula:

cos(2\theta)=1-2sin^2\theta

Substituting:

cos(2\theta)=1-2(\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{5})^2

Operating:

\begin{gathered} cos(2\theta)=1-2*\frac{4*3}{25} \\ cos(2\theta)=1-\frac{24}{25} \\ cos(2\theta)=\frac{1}{25} \end{gathered}

Answer: 1/25

An urn contains 17 white balls and 20 red balls. A sample of four balls is selected at random from the urn. What is the probabil
Minchanka [31]

The probability that the sample of four balls contains two white balls and two red balls is 0.39.

Let E be an event a sample of selecting four balls from an urn are two red balls and two white balls.

According to the given question.

Total number of marbles in an urn = 17 + 20 = 37

Total number of white marbles = 17

Total number of red marbles = 20

Now, the number of ways of selecting four marbles form an urn = ^{37} C_{4}

And, number of ways of selecting 2 white and two red marbles = ^{17} C_{2} \times\ ^{20} C_{2}

As, we know that probability of an event is calculated by taking the ratio of total number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

Therefore, the probability that the sample of four balls contains two white balls and two red balls is given by

P(E) = \frac{^{20}C_{2} \times ^{17}C_{2}   }{^{37}C_{4}  }

\implies P(E) = \frac{\frac{20!\times 17!}{2!18!(2!!15!)} }{\frac{37!}{4!33!} }

\implies P(E) = \frac{\frac{20(19)(17)(16)}{2(2)} }{\frac{37(36)(35)(34)}{(4)(3)(2)} }

⇒ P(E) = 5(19)(17)(16)/(37(3)(35)(17))

⇒ P(E) = 19(16)/37(3)(7)

⇒ P(E) = 304/777

⇒ P(E) = 0.39

Hence, the probability that the sample of four balls contains two white balls and two red balls is 0.39.

The base of a triangle is shrinking at a rate of 1cm/min and the height if the triangle is increasing at a rate of 5cm/min. Find
lapo4ka [179]

Answer: Rate of change of Area of the triangle = 2.75cm~/min

Step-by-step explanation:

If the present height of the triangle is 22cm and the height increases by 5cm/min. It means the height was 2cm four minutes earlier: 5cm for 1st min + 5cm for 2nd min + 5cm for 3rd min + 5cm for 4th min = 20cm after 4min.

Therefore height equals 22 - 20 = 2cm four minutes earlier.

Using the same four minutes for the base. Since the base shrinks at 1cm/min, for the base to shrink to 10cm it means it was 14cm four minutes earlier.

The Area of a triangle is given by

A = 1/2 × base × height

Therefore Area= 1/2× 10×22 = 110cm~

Since it took four minutes to get to this area, the rate of change of the area will be 110÷4 = 2.75cm~/min

I will solve for the length and the area and the perimiter

if the width is 5ft and the length is 5 times as long as it is wide then
W=5 and L=5W
subsitute 5 for W
L=5(5)
L=25

length=25ft

the perimeter=2(L+W)=2(25+5)=2(30)=60ft

the area=LW=(5ft)(25ft)=125ft²
