Answer: Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The short answer is there isn’t.
Start by writing each of these as an expression:
x * y = 60
x + y = 7
Next, solve each for the same variable; in this case, y:
(x * y) / x = 60 / x
.: y = 60 / x
(x + y) - x = 7 - x
.: y = 7 - x
Next, replace y of the second expression to the first
y = 60 / x & y = 7 - x
.: 7 - x = 60 / x
Now, solve for x:
(7 - x) * x = (60 / x) * x
.: x * 7 - x^2 = 60
This is quadratic, so write it in the form of ax2 + bx + x = 0
(-1)x^2 + (7)x + (-60) = 0
.: a = -1, b = 7, c = -60
Finally solve for b:
x = (-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c)) / 2a
.: x = (-7 +- sqrt(7^2 - 4*-1*-60)) / (2 * -1)
.: x = (-7 +- sqrt(49 - 240)) / -2
.: x = (-7 +- sqrt(-191)) / -2
The square root of a negative value is imaginary and thus there’s no real answer to this problem.

<u>Step 1: Identify</u>
Leg <em>a</em> = <em>x</em>
Leg <em>b</em> = 5
Hypotenuse <em>c</em> = 8
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Substitute [PT]: x² + 5² = 8²
- Isolate <em>x</em> term: x² = 8² - 5²
- Exponents: x² = 64 - 25
- Subtract: x² = 39
- Isolate <em>x</em>: x = √39
When an exponential function is given as
f(x)=ab^x, and
knowing that b^0=1, that means that
f(0)=ab^0=a value of function when x=0, or the initial value.
In the case of
f(x)=20.b^x, f(0)=20.b^0 = 20 (initial value)
If b=1.2, then the hourly growth rate is (1.2-1)=0.2=20%.
If b=1.85, then the hourly growth rate is (1.85-1)=0.85=85%.
