Which two numbers have a sum of 15 and a product of 36

Mathematics
1 answer:
kap26 [50]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:  3  and  12

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent one of the numbers and y represent the other number. Then,

Sum:      x + y = 15      →    y = 15 - x

Product: xy  = 36


Use substitution method by replacing "y" with "15 - x" in the second equation, then solve for x:

x(15 - x) = 36

15x - x² = 36

       0  =  x² - 15x + 36

       0  =  (x - 3)(x - 12)

 0 = x - 3     and       0 = x - 12

 x  = 3                       x = 12

Erika is working on solving the exponential equation 50^x = 17; The solution is x = 0.7242.

<h3>What is logarithm?</h3>

When you raise a number with an exponent, there comes a result.

Let's say you get

a^b = c

Then, you can write 'b' in terms of 'a' and 'c' using a logarithm as follows

b = \log_a(c)

'a' is called base of this log function. We say that 'b' is the logarithm of 'c' to base 'a'

Erika is working on solving the exponential equation 50^x = 17;

however, she is not quite sure where to start.

The equation is

50^x = 17\\

By taking the log both sides

log_a b = x\\\\a_x = b

By using the base formula

log_0 y = \dfrac{logy}{log b}

So, log_{50} 17= x\\\\

x = \dfrac{log17}{log 50}

x = 0.7242

The fuse are building a new home one of the bedroom closet has an area of 48 square feet and a perimeter of 32 ft what are the l
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: The length is 12 feet and the width is 4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the bedroom closet.

Let W represent the width of the bedroom closet..

The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

The perimeter of the bedroom closet is 32 ft. This means that

2(L + W) = 32

Dividing through by 2, it becomes

L + W = 32/2

L + W = 16

The area of the bedroom closet is 48 ft². This means that

LW = 48 - - - - - - - -- - - - - - 1

Substituting L = 16 - W into equation 1, it becomes

W(16 - W) = 48

16W - W² = 48

W² - 16W + 48 = 0

W² - 12W - 4W + 48 = 0

W(W - 12) - 4(W - 12) = 0

W - 12 = 0 or W - 4 = 0

W = 12 or W = 4

L = 16 - 4 = 12
