Kyle wants to earn as many points as possible in one turn in a game. Two number cubes whose sides are numbered 1 through 6 are r

olled. He is given two options for the manner in which points are awarded in the turn. OPTION A: If the sum of the rolls is a prime number, Kyle receives 15 points. OPTION B: If the sum of the rolls is a multiple of 6, Kyle receives 42 points. Which statement best explains the option he should choose?

Solve the system of equations. y= x + 17, y= 3x+1
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

x=8, y=25. As a point it's (8,25)

Step-by-step explanation:

here is the system:

y=x+17

y=3x+1

notice how both of the equations equal y. Therefore, we can substitute one expression as y in the other expression. (It'll equal y=y, which is a true statement)

so it'll be:

3x+1=x+17

subtract 1 from both sides

3x=x+16

subtract x from both sides

2x=16

divide by 2

x=8

now, substitute 8 as x into one of the equations and solve for y

let's take the first one for example

y=8+17

y=25

so the answer is x=8, y=25. As a point it's (8,25)

Hope this helps!

Find an equation of the line passing through the pair of points. Write the equation in the form Ax +By = C.
Alexxandr [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  5x -y = -37

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to find the coefficients A and B is to use the differences of the x- and y-coordinates:

  A = Δy = y2 -y1 = 2 -(-3) = 5

  B = -Δx = -(x2 -x1) = -(-7 -(-8)) = -1

Then the constant C can be found using either point.

  5x -y = 5(-7) -2 = -37

The equation of the line is ...

  5x -y = -37

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

This approach comes from the fact that the slope of a line is the same everywhere.

  \dfrac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}\\\\\Delta x(y-y_1)=\Delta y(x-x_1)\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\\Delta y(x-x_1)-\Delta x(y-y_1)=0\qquad\text{subtract y term}\\\\\Delta y(x) -\Delta x(y) = \Delta y(x_1)-\Delta x(y_1)\qquad\text{Ax+By=C form}

The "standard form" requires that A be positive, so we chose point 1 and point 2 to make sure that was the case.

Find the value of k for which the line y = kx + 6 is a tangent to the curve x^2 + y^2 – 10x + 8y = 84
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

k = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

input y = kx +6 into the equation of the curve x² + y² – 10x + 8y = 84

x² + (kx + 6)² - 10x + 8(kx + 6) = 84

expand:

x² + k²x² + 12kx + 36 - 10x + 8kx + 48 = 84

simplify by collecting like terms:

x² + k²x² + 20kx - 10x + 84 = 84

subtract 84 on both sides to bring it to the left:

x² + k²x² + 20kx - 10x + 84 - 84 = 0

x² + k²x² + 20kx - 10x = 0

factorise out x:

x²(1 + k²) + x(20k - 10) = 0

using the discriminant b² - 4ac where b is 20k - 10, a is 1 + k² and c is 0, substitute them in the formula b² - 4ac:

b² - 4ac

(20k - 10)² - 4(1 + k²)(0) = 0

the part highlighted in bold is gone because it's all multiplied by 0, so we are left with (20k - 10)² = 0

(20k - 10)² is the same as

(20k - 10)(20k - 10)

equate both to 0

20k - 10 = 0 and 20k - 10 = 0

add 10 on both sides

20k = 10 and 20k = 10

divide 20 on both sides

k = 10/20 and k = 10/20 which are both the same

10/20 is simplified to 1/2

k = 1/2
