10 less than 5 times a number is less than 6 times the number decreased by eight

Mathematics

1 answer:

-BARSIC- [3]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

The Answer is: the Number is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = the number.

Five times the number minus 10 is less than 6 times the number minus eight:

5n - 10 = 6n - 8

-1n = -8 + 10

-n = 2

n = -2, the value of the number is -2.

Proof:

5(-2) - 10 = 6(-2) - 8

-10 - 10 = -12 - 8

-20 = -20

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!! :-)

1. Evaluate each expression when x = -2 and y = 3.

borishaifa [10]

a) 3(-2) + 4(3) = -6 + 12 = 6

b) 2(-2) -3(3) +5 = -4 -9 + 5 = -8

c) 4(-2) -(3) = -8 -3 = -11

d) -(-2) -2(3) = 4 -6 = -2

e) (1/2)(-2) +(3) = -1 +3 = 2

f) (2/3)(3) -(1/2)(-2) = 2 + 1 = 3

Find, correct to four decimal places, the length of the curve of intersection of the cylinder 16x2 + y2 = 16 and the plane x + y

Yuri [45]

Let the curve C be the intersection of the cylinder

$16x^2+y^2=16$

and the plane

$x+y+z=1$

The projection of C on to the x-y plane is the ellipse

$16x^2+y^2=16$

To see clearly that this is an ellipse, le us divide through by 16, to get

$\frac{x^2}{1}+ \frac{y^2}{16}=1$

$\frac{x^2}{1^2}+ \frac{y^2}{4^2}=1$ ,

We can write the following parametric equations,

$x=cos(t), y=4sin(t)$

for

$0\le t \le 2\pi$

Since C lies on the plane,

$x+y+z=1$

it must satisfy its equation.

Let us make z the subject first,

$z=1-x-y$

This implies that,

$z=1-sin(t)-4cos(t)$

We can now write the vector equation of C, to obtain,

$r(t)=(cos(t),4sin(t),1-cos(t)-4sin(t))$

The length of the curve of the intersection of the cylinder and the plane is now given by,

$\int\limits^{2\pi}_0 {|r'(t)|} \, dt$

But

$r'(t)=(-sin(t),4cos(t),sin(t)-4cos(t))$

$|r'(t)|=\sqrt{(-sin(t))^2+(4cos(t))^2+(sin(t)-4cos(t))}$

$\int\limits^{2\pi}_0 {\sqrt{2sin^2(t)+32cos(t)-8sin(t)cos(t)} }\, dt=24.08778184$

Therefore the length of the curve of the intersection intersection of the cylinder and the plane is 24.0878 units correct to four decimal places.
