-2x-y=3    ...(1)
x+2y=4    ...(2)
multiply (2) by 2 and add to (1)
-2x-y+2x+4y=3+8
3y=11
y=11/3
from (2)
x=4-2y=4-2(11/3)
or x=4-(22/3)
=(12-22)/3=-10/3

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

<h3>9.43</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the distance between two points is expressed as

D =√(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

Given the coordinates (0,0) and (8,5)

D = √(5-0)²+(8-0)²

D = √5²+8²

D = √25 + 64

D = √89

<em>D = 9.43</em>

<em>Hence the distance between the life guard and the swimmer is 9.43</em>

Answer:

Alternate-exterior angles theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and if there are a pair of congruent angles that are outside of the parallel lines, and on opposite sides of the transversal, you will have the alternate-exterior angles theorem.

A piece of cardboard is 13 inches by 26 inches. A square is to be cut from each corner and the sides folded up to make an open-t
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Hence the maximum possible volume will be the 778.53 c.c

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A rectangle with 13 x 26 dimensions

And corners are cut to form side squares.

To Find:

Maximum possible volume for box

Solution :

Consider a rectangle of 13 x 26 dimension with and side of square  at corner be x.

(Refer the attachment)

Now,

Formulating the volume equation for the box

So corner square sides we are going to fold up which makes height of the box

and remaining part will be length and breadth

As shown in fig,

Length=26-x

breadth=13-x

And height will be x

V(x)=x*(26-x)*(13-x)

To get maximum volume differentiate the above equation,

V(x)=x*(26*13-26*x-13*x+x^2)

V(x)=x^3-39x^2+338x\\

V'(x)=3x^2-78x+338

V''(x)=6x-78

Now ,Solve the Quadratic Equation to get x values,

3x^2-78x+338=0

x=[-b±(b^2-4ac)^1/2]/2a

x=[78±Sqrt[(78)^2-4*338*3)]/2*3

x=[78±Sqrt(3028)]/6

x=[78±55.027]/6

x=78+55.027/6 or x=78-55.027/6

x=22.17  or x=3.8288

Use these values in 6x-78 to know which value posses the max and min value for the function.

So when x=22.17

6x-78=6*22.17-78

=55.02>0  i.e function will have minimum value .

When x=3.8288

6*3.8288-78

=-55.0272<0 i.e. Function will have maximum value

Now, the function will defines the maximum volume

V(x)=x^3-39x^2+338x

V(x)=3.8288^3-39*(3.82883)^2+338*3.8288

V(x)=56.13-571.73+1294.13

V(x)=778.53 C.C
