5x+4y=-2

3x+4y=10

Make one with negative coefficient to find first what is x then solve for y .

-1(5x+4y)= -1 (-2)

3x+4y=10

-5x-4y=2

+ 3x+4y=10

_________

-x = 12

Divide both sides by -2

-2x/-2=12/-2

X= -6

Now substitute your x into one of the equations to find y .

-5x-4y=2

-5(-6)+4y=2

30+4y=2

Subtract 30 both sides

-4y= 2-30

Divide both sides by -4

Y= -28/-4

Y= 7

Your answer is in point form (-6,7) meaning x is -6 and y is 7.

How many quarts of pure antifreeze must be added to 8 quarts of a 40% antifreeze solution to obtain a 60% antifreeze solution

anyanavicka [17]

Let q be the number of quarts of pure antifreeze that needs to be added to get the desired solution.

8 quarts of 40% solution contains 0.40 × 8 = 3.2 quarts of antifreeze.

The new solution would have a total volume of 8 + q quarts, and it would contain a total amount of 3.2 + q quarts of antifreeze. You want to end up with a concentration of 60% antifreeze, which means

(3.2 + q) / (8 + q) = 0.60

Solve for q :

3.2 + q = 0.60 (8 + q)

3.2 + q = 4.8 + 0.6q

0.4q = 1.6

q = 4

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

294

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference means subtraction, so you just subtract 533 from 827.

827-533=294

The students in Mr. Wilson's Physics class are making golf ball catapults. The

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Part a) About 48.6 feet

Part b) About 8.3 feet

Part c) The domain is $0 \leq x \leq 48.6\ ft$ and the range is $0 \leq y \leq 8.3\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$y=-0.014x^{2} +0.68x$

This is a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex represent a maximum

where

x is the ball's distance from the catapult in feet

y is the flight of the balls in feet

Part a) How far did the ball fly?

Find the x-intercepts or the roots of the quadratic equation

Remember that

The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

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

in this problem we have

$-0.014x^{2} +0.68x=0$

$a=-0.014\\b=0.68\\c=0$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-0.68(+/-)\sqrt{0.68^{2}-4(-0.014)(0)}} {2(-0.014)}$

$x=\frac{-0.68(+/-)0.68} {(-0.028)}$

$x=\frac{-0.68(+)0.68} {(-0.028)}=0$

$x=\frac{-0.68(-)0.68} {(-0.028)}=48.6\ ft$

therefore

The ball flew about 48.6 feet

Part b) How high above the ground did the ball fly?

Find the maximum (vertex)

$y=-0.014x^{2} +0.68x$

Find out the derivative and equate to zero

$0=-0.028x +0.68$

Solve for x

$0.028x=0.68$

$x=24.3$

Alternative method

To determine the x-coordinate of the vertex, find out the midpoint between the x-intercepts

$x=(0+48.6)/2=24.3\ ft$

To determine the y-coordinate of the vertex substitute the value of x in the quadratic equation and solve for y

$y=-0.014(24.3)^{2} +0.68(24.3)$

$y=8.3\ ft$

the vertex is the point (24.3,8.3)

therefore

The ball flew above the ground about 8.3 feet

Part c) What is a reasonable domain and range for this function?

we know that

A reasonable domain is the distance between the two x-intercepts

$0 \leq x \leq 48.6\ ft$

All real numbers greater than or equal to 0 feet and less than or equal to 48.6 feet

A reasonable range is all real numbers greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex

we have the interval -----> [0,8.3]

$0 \leq y \leq 8.3\ ft$

All real numbers greater than or equal to 0 feet and less than or equal to 8.3 feet
