Given that (x+y+z)(xy+xz+yz)=18 and that x^2(y+z)+y^2(x+z)+z^2(x+y)=6 for real numbers x, y, and z, what is the value of xyz?

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+y+z)(xy+xz+yz)=18 Equation 1

x^2(y+z)+y^2(x+z)+z^2(x+y)=6 Equation 2

What is the value of xyz where each variable represents a real number?

Let's expand equation 1:

(x+y+z)(xy+xz+yz)=18

x(xy)+x(xz)+x(yz)+y(xy)+y(xz)+y(yz)+z(xy)+z(xz)+z(yz)=18

Simplify each term if can:

x^2y+x^2z+xyz+y^2x+xyz+y^2z+xyz+z^2x+z^2y=18

See if we can factor a little to get some of the left hand side of equation 2:

The first two terms have x^2 and if I factored x^2 from first two terms I would have x^2(y+z) which is the first term of left hand side of equation 2.

So let's see what happens if we gather the terms together that have the same variable squared together.

x^2y+x^2z+y^2x+y^2z+z^2y+z^2x+xyz+xyz+xyz=18

Factor the variable squared terms out of each binomial pairing:

x^2(y+z)+y^2(x+z)+z^2(y+x)+xyz+xyz+xyz=18

Replace the sum of those first three terms with what it equals which is 6 from the equation 2:

6+xyz+xyz+xyz=18

Combine like terms:

6+3xyz=18

Subtract 6 on both sides:

3xyz=12

Divide both sides by 3:

xyz=4

The drawing is composed of a rectangle and a semicircle. Find the area of the figure to the nearest unit. Please explain, thank
DanielleElmas [232]
We know that
[area of the figure]=[area of rectangle]+[area of semi circle]

area of rectangle=b*h------> 10*18-----> 180 cm²

area of semicircle=pi*r²/2
diameter=18 cm
radius=18/2----> 9 cm
area of semicircle=pi*9²/2-----> 127.17 cm²

[area of the figure]=[180]+[127.17]------> 307.17 cm²
round <span>to the nearest unit </span>------> 307 cm²

the answer is
the area of the figure is 307 cm²

When we take a census, we attempt to collect data from (a) a stratified random sample. (b) every individual selected in an SRS.
likoan [24]

Find the slope of the line passing through the given points.
deff fn [24]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is - 3</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1}  \\

From the question we have

m =  \frac{8 - 5}{ - 8 -  - 7}  =  \frac{3}{ - 8 +7 }  =   - \frac{3}{1}  =  - 3 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>- 3</h3>

Hope this helps you
