The sum of two integers is - 5. The product of the same two integers is - 36. What are the two integers?

Hey there!!

Given :

Sum of two integers = -5 and the product is -36.

Hence,

... x + y = -5

... xy = -36

x + y = -5

... y = -x - 5

xy = -36

...x ( -x - 5 ) = -36

... -x² - 5x = -36

... x² + 5x - 36 = 0

This can't be factored so solve using quadratic equation

x = [-b ±√(b2-4ac)]/2a      a=1, b=5, c = -36

x = [-5±√(52-4(-36))]/2

x = [-5 ±√169]/2

x = (-5 ± 13)/2

x = (-5+13)/2= 8/2 = 4  OR

x = (-5-13)/2 = -18/2 = -9

x = 4, -9

Note here that since x+y=-5

For x=4, y=-9

for x = -9, y = 4

The two numbers are 4, -9

Hope my answer helps!!

kumpel [21]

Answer:

Three-fourths

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

∠QSR≅∠XZY ---> given problem

∠QRS≅∠XYZ ---> given problem

so

△QRS ~ △XYZ ----> by AA Similarity theorem

Remember that, if two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

That means

\frac{QS}{XZ}=\frac{QR}{XY}=\frac{RS}{YZ}

∠Q≅∠X

∠R≅∠Y

∠S≅∠Z

<em>In the right triangle XYZ</em>

Find the tangent of angle X

tan(X)=\frac{YZ}{XZ} ---> opposite side angle X divided by adjacent side angle X

substitute the given values

tan(X)=\frac{9}{12}

Simplify

tan(X)=\frac{3}{4}

Remember that

∠Q≅∠X

so

tan(Q)=tan(X)

therefore

tan(Q)=\frac{3}{4} ---->Three-fourths

The company, hewerrtt, would like to make letter codes using all of the letters in the word hewerrtt. how many codes can be made
shtirl [24]
<span>If the company, hewerrtt, would like to make letter codes using all of the letters in the word hewerrtt, they would be able to make five codes. Altogether, there are eight letters in the word, but there are duplicates of the letter e, the letter r, and the letter t, so that takes out three possibilities. Three subtracted from eight is equal to five, therefore the company can make five codes using the company name.</span>

The slope of a line is -1/3, and the y-intercept is 10/3. What is the equation of the line written in general form?
Y_Kistochka [10]
The answer is:  [B]:  " x  + 3y + 10 = 0 " .
______________________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________________
Note the equation for a line; in 'slope-intercept form':  "y = mx + b" ;
 
   in which "y" is isolated alone, as a single variable, on the left-hand side of the equation;
                "m" = the slope of the line; and is the co-efficient of "x" ;
                                  b = the "y-intercept"; (or the "y-coordinate of the point of                                                                          the "y-intercept"). 
______________________________________________________
So, given the information in this very question/problem:
______________________________________________________
slope = m = (-1/3) ; 
b = y-intercept = (10/3) ; 
______________________________________________________
And we can write the equation of the line; in "slope-intercept form"; that is:
______________________________________________________
  " y = mx + b " ;  as:
______________________________________________________

   " y = (-1/3)x + (10/3) " ;
______________________________________________________
Now, the problem asks for the equation of this line; in "general form";  or "standard format";  which is:
________________________________________
   "Ax + By + C = 0 " ; 
________________________________________
So; given: 
____________________________________
 " y = (-1/3)x + (10/3) " ;
____________________________________
  We can multiply the ENTIRE EQUATION (both sides) by "3" ; to get rid of the "fractions" ;

  →  3* { y = (-1/3)x + (10/3) } ;

  →  3y = -1x + 10 ; 

        ↔  -1x + 10 = 3y ; 

Subtract "(3y)" from each side of the equation:
____________________________________
            -1x + 10 − 3y = 3y − 3y ;

to get: 

-1x + 10 − 3y = 0 ; 

↔  -1x − 3y − 10 = 0 ;  

→ This is not one of the "3 (THREE) answer choices given" ;

→ So, multiply the ENTIRE EQUATION (both sides); by "-1" ; as follows:

     -1 * {-1x − 3y − 10 = 0} ; 

to get:
______________________________________________________
   →   " x + 3y + 10 = 0 " ;  which is:  "Answer choice:  [B] ."
______________________________________________________
Note that is equation is in the "standard format" ;
   →  " Ax + By + C = 0 " .
