Okay lets start by getting rid of the ones that don't have a difference of 6. We are now left with '12 and 18' and '6 and 14'. If we take a look we can see that '6 and 14' add up to 20. So it is clear that only '12 and 18' add up to 30 and have a difference of 6.

Answer:

Find out the numbers .

To prove

Let us assume that one number be x.

Let us assume that second number be y.

As given

The sum of two numbers is 30.

Than the equation becomes

x + y = 30

Their difference is 6.

x - y = 6

Thus two equation are .

x + y = 30 and x - y = 6

Subtracted  x - y = 6 from x + y = 30

x - x + y - (-y) = 30 - 6

y + y  = 24

2y = 24

y = \frac{24}{2}

y = 12

Put in the x - y = 6

x - 12 = 6

x = 6 + 12

x = 18

Therefore the two numbers are 12 and 18 .

Select the graph of y=cot x.
Kisachek [45]

Because of the vertical asymptote and the change in concavity, we conclude that the correct option is B.

<h3>Which is the graph of cotangent of x?</h3>

Remember that cot(x) = 1/tan(x).

Then we can rewrite:

cot(x) = cos(x)/sin(x).

We know that for x = 0, we have:

cot(0) = cos(0)/sin(0) = 1/0

Then we have a vertical asymptote that tends to ± infinity.

The only graph that meets this condition is the second and the third one, and by the curvature (we need to have a change of concavity/convexity) in the tangent function.

From that, we conclude that the correct option is B.

which expressions are equivalent to the first one? I don't understand how to determine that so please explain. Thanks!​

Answer:

  (a) -(x+7)/y

  (b) (x+7)/-y

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways you can show expressions are equivalent. Perhaps the easiest and best is to put them in the same form. For an expression such as this, I prefer the form of answer (a), where the minus sign is factored out and the numerator and denominator have positive coefficients.

The given expression with -1 factored out is ...

  \dfrac{-x-7}{y}=\dfrac{1(x+7)}{y}=\boxed{-\dfrac{x+7}{y}} \quad\text{matches A}

Likewise, the expression of (b) with the minus sign factored out is ...

  \dfrac{x+7}{-y}=\boxed{-\dfrac{x+7}{y}}

On the other hand, simplifying expression (c) gives something different.

  \dfrac{-x-7}{-y}=\dfrac{-(x+7)}{-(y)}=\dfrac{x+7}{y} \qquad\text{opposite the given expression}

__

Another way you can write the expression is term-by-term with the terms in alpha-numeric sequence (so they're more easily compared).

  Given: (-x-7)/y = (-x/y) +(-7/y)

  (a) -(x+7)/y = (-x/y) +(-7/y)

  (b) (x+7)/(-y) = (-x/y) +(-7/y)

  (c) (-x-7)/(-y) = (x/y) +(7/y) . . . . not the same.

__

Of course, you need to know the use of the distributive property and the rules of signs.

  a(b+c) = ab +ac

  -a/b = a/(-b) = -(a/b)

  -a/(-b) = a/b

__

<u>Summary</u>: The given expression matches (a) and (b).

_____

<em>Additional comments</em>

Sometimes, when I'm really stuck trying to see if two expressions are equal, I subtract one from the other. If the difference is zero, then I know they are the same. Looking at (b), we could compute ...

  \left(\dfrac{-x-7}{y}\right)-\left(\dfrac{x+7}{-y}\right)=\dfrac{-y(-x-7)-y(x+7)}{-y^2}\\\\=\dfrac{xy+7y-xy-7y}{-y^2}=\dfrac{0}{-y^2}=0

Yet another way to check is to substitute numbers for the variables. It is a good idea to use (at least) one more set of numbers than there are variables, just to make sure you didn't accidentally find a solution where the expressions happen to be equal. We can use (x, y) = (1, 2), (2, 3), and (3, 5) for example.

The given expression evaluates to (-1-7)/2 = -4, (-2-7)/3 = -3, and (-3-7)/5 = -2.

(a) evaluates to -(1+7)/2 = -4, -(2+7)/3 = -3, -(3+7)/5 = -2, same as given

(b) evaluates to (1+7)/-2 = -4, (2+7)/-3 = -3, (3+7)/-5 = -2, same as given

(c) evaluates to (-1-7)/-2 = 4, different from given

(b) 5.2m + 5 = 2.9m – 3 – 4.1m
ohaa [14]

Answer:

m =-1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

5.2m + 5 = 2.9m – 3 – 4.1m

Combine like terms

5.2m + 5 = -1.2m – 3

Add 1.2m to each side

5.2m +1.2m +5 = -1.2m +1.2m -3

6.4m +5 = -3

Subtract 5 from each side

6.4m +5-5 = -3-5

6.4m = -8

Divide each side

6.4m/6.4 = -8/6.4

m =-1.25

Write the point-slope form of an equation of the line through the points (6, -1) and (5, -7).
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

y + 1 = 6(x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

-7 - (-1) / 5 - 6

-6/-1

= 6

y + 1 = 6(x - 6)
