Answer:

The correct answers are the equation 5x - 4y = 28 should be multiplied by 9 and 3x - 9y = 30 should be multiplied by 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equations are given by 5x - 4y = 28 and 3x - 9y = 30.

We need to solve these two equations simultaneously for the value of x.

Thus we need to eliminate the y-terms to get the value of x in the fewest steps.

Therefore if we multiply  5x - 4y = 28 by 9 and 3x - 9y = 30 by 4, then the coefficient of y would be equal, to 36, and then we can subtract both the equations to get the value of x in the fewest step possible.

pantera1 [17]

Answer: 5/36

Step-by-step explanation: We know that A U B means all the possible combinations that make event A or event B true. As we know, the only combinations that can make 4 is 1+3, 2+2, or 3+1, and the only combinations that can maker 11 is 5+6 and 6+5. This leaves us with a total of 5 combinations, and with a total of 36 combinations, that means that there is a 5/36 chance that the combinations of the dice add to either 4 or 11.

Let f( x)= sin(x) Let g(x)=cos(x) a) Sketch the graph of f^2 b) Sketch the graph of g^2 c) Sketch the graph of f^2+g^2
ZanzabumX [31]
Given:
f(x) = sin(x)
g(x) = cos(x).

Note that because sin²x + cos²x = 1, the value for f²+g² should be equal to 1.
Create the table shown below.

       x           f²          g²        f² + g²
--------  ---------- -----------   ------------
-π                0             1               1
-0.8π  0.3455  0.6545              1
-0.6π  0.9045  0.0955              1
-0.4π  0.9045  0.0955              1
-0.2π  0.3455  0.6545              1
      0            0             1              1
 0.2π  0.3455  0.6545              1
 0.4π  0.9045  0.0955             1
 0.6π  0.9045  0.0955             1
0.8π   0.3455  0.6545             1
     π             0            1              1

A sketch is shown in the figure below.

Nina [5.8K]
Three hours after the bus starts out, it's 150 miles ahead of the truck. Then the truck starts out, and it gains (65-50)=15 miles on the bus every hour. If neither of them ever stops for anything, the truck will catch up to the bus in ( 150/15 ) = 10 hours. . . . (The hint is useless.)
