Drawing a picture would be helpful.
So you have AB and BC, and AC is ALL of AB and BC. In other words, 
AC = AB+BC.
Now plug in what the problem gave you.
(16) = (x^2 -10) + (2x + 2)
16 = x^2 + 2x - 8
0 = x^2 + 2x -24
0 = (x+6)(x-4)
x = -6, 4

Solve the system of equations. y = -5x + 24 y = 4x - 21 a. ( -5, -1) c. ( -1, 5) b. ( 5, -1) d. No solution
Svetlanka [38]

y = -5x + 24

y = 4x - 21

Since both of these equations are equal to Y, theyre equal to each other.

So we can make an equation with y = -5x + 24 in one side and y = 4x - 21 on the other.

-5x + 24 = 4x - 21

Now in order to get the value of x we need to isolate it in one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 24 from both sides of the equation:

-5x + 24 - 24 = 4x - 21 - 24

-5x = 4x - 45

Now we subtract 4x from both sides so the 4x shift to the other side

-5x - 4x = 4x - 4x - 45

-9x = -45

Finally divide both sides by -9 so x is by itself

(-9)÷(-9x) = -(45)÷(-9)

x = 5

Since we did all of this to BOTH sides of the equation, both sides are still equal to each other and the equation still is true.

Now apply x = 5 to either of the initial equations to find the value of Y

y = -5x + 24 or y = 4x - 21

(I'll do both but u only need one)

y = -5(5) + 24

y = -25 + 24

y = -1

y = 4(5) - 21

y = 20 - 21

y = -1

Either way, X is 5 and Y is -1

Answer (5, -1)

What is the prime factorizarion for 500​
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

2 exponents (2) times 5 exponents (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the prime factors you start by dividing the number by the first prime number which is 2 if there is not a remainder meaning you can divide evenly anymore write down how many 2's you were able to divide by evenly now try dividing by the the next prime factor which is 3 the goal is to get to a quotient of 1

Convert the rectangular equation to polar form.
N76 [4]
To convert from rectangular coordinate (x, y) to polar coordinate (r, θ).
r is given by the square root of the sum of the squares of the rectangular coordinate.
r= \sqrt{x^2+y^2}
and θ is given by the arctan of the ratio of y to x.
\theta=\tan^{-1} \frac{y}{x}
Example:
To convert rectangular coordinate (3, 4) to polar coordinate
r= \sqrt{3^2+4^2} = \sqrt{9+16} = \sqrt{25} =5 \\ \theta=\tan^{-1}( \frac{4}{3}) =53.13^o
Therefore, rectangular coordinate (3, 4) = polar coordinate (5, 53.13°)
