Answer:

-10 and -5

Step-by-step explanation:

setting variables x and y to represent my two numbers

x+y = -15

xy = 50

y = -15-x (derived from first equation by isolating y)

plugging in y into the second equation

x(-15-x) = 50

$-15x-x^2=50$

$x^2+15x+50=0$

factoring ...

(x+10)(x+5) = 0

x = -10, or -5

testing x = -10

-10+y=-15

y = -5

-10 * -5 = 50

your two numbers are -10 and -5

IF you wanted to test -5

-5 + y = -15

y = -10

-5 * -10 = 50

you get the same answer, but this will not always be the case

Answer:

-10 and -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Add -10 and -5 and you get -15, multiply the two and you'll get positive 50, because multiplying two negative numbers gives you a positive number, in this case 50.

The inequalities are matched with their correct graph respectively as follows:

D ⇒ {(x, y): y > x²}.
G ⇒ {(x, y): y ≥ x²+ 3
C ⇒ {(x, y): y ≤ 3x² + 2}
A ⇒ {(x, y): y ≥ 2x² - 5x + 1}
J ⇒ x²- 3x ≥ 0
H ⇒ x² - 3x + 2 ≤ 0
B ⇒ {(x, y): y ≤ 1 - x²}
B ⇒ {(x, y): y ≥ -1}

<h3>What is a graph?</h3>

A graph can be defined as a type of chart that's commonly used to graphically represent data on both the horizontal and vertical lines of a cartesian coordinate, which are the x-axis and y-axis.

<h3>What is an inequality?</h3>

An inequality can be defined as a mathematical relation that compares two (2) or more integers and variables in an equation based on any of the following arguments:

Less than (<).
Greater than (>).
Less than or equal to (≤).
Greater than or equal to (≥).

In Geometry, if the leading coefficient of a quadratic equation is greater than (>) zero, the parabolic curve would open upward while the parabolic curve would open downward when the leading coefficient of a quadratic equation is less than (<) zero.

Connie collected 50 seashells during her 5-day vacation. Each day she collected 3 more than the previous day. How many seashells

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

The number of seashells collected on day 1 to day 5 is 4, 7, 10, 13 and 16 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question that deals with consecutive numbers.

Let x represent the number of seashells collected on her first day.

Given that she collected 3 more each day, then

On day 2, she collected x + 3

On day 3, she collected x + 6

On day 4, she collected x + 9

On day 5, she collected x + 12

Adding up the above will give the number of sea shells collected on day 1;

i.e.

x + x + 3 + x + 6 + x + 9 + x + 12 = 50

Collect like terms

x + x + x + x + x + 3 + 6 + 9 + 12 = 50

5x + 30 = 50

5x = 50 - 30

5x = 20

Multiply ⅕ to both sides

⅕ * 5x = ⅕ * 20

x = 4.

This mean that she found 4 seashells on day 1;

Recall that day 2 = x + 3

So, day 2 = 4 + 3 = 7 seashells

day 3 = x + 6

day 3 = 4 + 6 = 10 seashells

day 4 = x + 9

day 4 = 4 + 9 = 13 seashells

day 5 = x + 12

day 5 = 4 + 13 = 16 seashells

Hence, the number of seashells collected on day 1 to day 5 is 4, 7, 10, 13 and 16 respectively
