Answer:

  9

Step-by-step explanation:

The first sentence of the problem can be interpreted two ways. The way that makes the second sentence work out correctly is ...

  'a larger number is 5 less than 3 times a smaller number'

Using x for the smaller number, the two equations that can be written are ...

  • 3x -y = 5
  • x +4y = 97

Adding 4 times the first equation to the second, we get ...

  4(3x -y) + (x +4y) = 4(5) +(97)

  13x = 117 . . . . . simplify

  x = 9 . . . . . . . . divide by 13

The smaller number is 9.

A parabola can be represented by the equation y2 = –x. What are the coordinates of the focus and the equation of the directrix?
Vilka [71]
(y-k)²=4p(x-h)
(h,k) is vertex
and since we got the y term squred, it is facing left or right
when p is positive, then focus is to right of veretx
p is distance from focus to vertex and from vertex to dirextix

y²=-x
(y-0)²=4(-1/4)(x-0)
vertex is (0,0)
p is negative so then focus to left of vertex
so the focus is (-1/4,0)
dirextix is x=1/4

5) The relation between intensity and current appears linear for intensity of 300 or more (current = intensity/10). For intensity of 150, current is less than that linear relation would predict. This seems to support the notion that current will go to zero for zero intensity. Current might even be negative for zero intensity since the line through the points (300, 30) and (150, 10) will have a negative intercept (-10) when current is zero.

Usually, we expect no output from a power-translating device when there is no input, so we expect current = 0 when intensity = 0.


6) We have no reason to believe the linear relation will not continue to hold for values of intensity near those already shown. We expect the current to be 100 for in intensity of 1000.


8) Apparently, times were only measured for 1, 3, 6, 8, and 12 laps. The author of the graph did not want to extrapolate beyond the data collected--a reasonable choice.
