Answer:

3, 12

Step-by-step explanation:

"x" is the larger number,

"y" is the smaller number.

Given

x + y = 15

x / y = 4

manipulate the equations for the problem

x / y = 4

*y *y

x = 4y

solve the system of equations by the methord of substitution:

x + y =15

4y + y = 15

5y = 15

y = 3

Subsitute back into the equations given.

x = 4y

x = 12

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Euler's formula is

V - E + F = 2

Givens

V = 15

E = 15

F = ?

Solution

15 - 15 + F = 2

F = 2

I'm not sure this makes sense, but it is what the formula gives you.

Archy [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In general

Given

y = f(x) then y = f(Cx) is a horizontal stretch/ compression in the x- direction

• If C > 1 then compression

• If 0 < C < 1 then stretch

Consider corresponding points on the 2 graphs

(2, 2 ) → (4, 2 )

(4, - 2 ) → (8, - 2 )

Indicating a stretch in the x- direction.

y = f( $\frac{x}{2}$ ) with C = $\frac{1}{2}$ , that is 0 < C < 1

stretches the graph in the x- direction by a factor of 2

Thus

y = f( $\frac{x}{2}$ ) → b
