Answer:
-4 or 5
Step-by-step explanation:
let number be x
x²-x=20
Rearrange
x²-x-20=0
(x+4)(x-5)=0
Separate
x+4=0, x-5=0
x=-4 or 5
The value of 'y' is exactly 6 less than the negative fifth multiple of 'x'.
Draw a right triangle.


Arctangent (tan^-1) can be used to find theta.

Answer: x=68/11 and y=-72/11
Steps:
2(x+4y=-20)
2x+8y=-40
2x - 3y = 32
- 2x + 8y = -40
-11y=72
y=-72/11
x + 4(-72/11) = -20
x - 288/11 = -20
x=68/11
The
equation of velocity of sound in air is v = 20 √(273 + t). In this problem, we
need to find the temperature when the velocity is 329 meters/s. You need
to measure the time it takes a sound to travel a
measured distance in order to measure its speed in air.
Given:
Velocity
of sound in air equation = v = 20 √(273 + t)
Velocity
= 329 m/s
To
solve:
V = 20 √(273 + t)
<span>
329 = 20 * sqrt(273 + t)</span>
<span>
16.45 = sqrt(273 + t)</span>
<span>
273 + t = 16.45^2</span>
<span>
t- 16.45^2-273</span>
<span>
t = -2.4 degrees Celsius</span>
<span>So, the
temperature when the velocity is 329 meters per second is -2.4 degrees Celsius.</span>
