Find two numbers, if their sum is −11 and their difference is 41

Mathematics

The larger one is (-11 + 41)/2 = 15.

The smaller one is (-11 -41)/2 = -26.

_____

For two numbers a and b with sum s and difference d, you can write the equations

a+b=s\\a-b=d

Then adding the equations and dividing that sum by 2, you get

(a+b)+(a-b)=(s)+(d)\\2a=s+d\\a=\dfrac{s+d}{2}

You can subtract the second eqution from the first and get a similar result for the smaller number

(a+b)-(a-b)=(s)-(d)\\2b=s-d\\b=\dfrac{s-d}{2}

These are the formulas we used above.

Unity makes $56 a week, plus 15 percent of the cost of meals that she serves. Use the equation, y = 0.15x + 56, to predict what
seropon [69]
X represents the cost of meals served in a week. The cost of meals or worth was $435, therefore, x = 435. 0.15 x 435= 65.25
Since she makes $56 along with 15% of meals served (which is $65.25), you add those together to get her final income the week she serves $435 worth of meals, so...
66.25+56=121.25
Unity makes $121.25 in a week that she serves $435 worth of meals.

In a sequence of ten terms, each term (starting with the third term) is equal to the sum of the two previous terms. The seventh
poizon [28]

Answer:

\boxed{a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4+a_5+a_6+a_7+a_8+a_9+a_{10}=66}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in a sequence of ten terms, each term (starting with the third term) is equal to the sum of the two previous terms. The seventh term is equal to 6. Therefore, we have

a_1+a_2=x\\a_3=x\\a_4=2x\\a_5=3x\\a_6=5x\\a_7=8x\\

We know that:

a_7=6\\\implies 8x=6\\x=\frac{3}{4}

We get:

a_1+a_2=x=\frac{3}{4}\\\\a_3=x=\frac{3}{4}\\\\a_4=2x=\frac{3}{2}\\\\a_5=3x=\frac{9}{4}\\\\a_6=5x=\frac{15}{4}\\\\a_7=8x=6\\\\a_8=13x=\frac{39}{4}\\\\a_9=21x=\frac{63}{4}\\\\a_{10}=34x=\frac{102}{4}\\

Therefore, we calculate

\boxed{a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4+a_5+a_6+a_7+a_8+a_9+a_{10}=66}

White raven [17]

Answer:

Down here ↓↓↓↓↓↓

Step-by-step explanation:

13:

It is a function, notice that if you draw a vertical line anywhere, it doesn't pass two points.

Domain : All real numbers (x-values)

Range : 2 (y-values)

14:

Not a function, if you draw a vertical line through one point, it will hit two others.

Domain : -3

Range : 4 , 0, -4

15:

It is a function, no two points in any vertical line.

Domain: All real numbers

Range: All real numbers

16:

Not a function, two points in one line

Domain : -5 ≤ x ≤ 5

Range: -2 ≤ y ≤ 2

If my answer is incorrect, pls correct me!

A person is watching a boat from the top of a lighthouse. The boat is approaching the lighthouse directly. When first noticed, t
7nadin3 [17]

To solve this problem, we can use the tan function to find for the distances covered.

tan θ = o / a

Where,

θ = angle = 90° - angle of depression

o = side opposite to the angle = distance of boat from lighthouse

a = side adjacent to the angle = height of lighthouse = 200 ft

When the angle of depression is 16°18', the initial distance from the lighthouse is:

o = 200 tan (90° - 16°18')

o = 683.95 ft

When the angle of depression is 48°51', the final distance from the lighthouse is:

o = 200 tan (90° - 48°51')

o = 174.78 ft

 

Therefore the total distance the boat travelled is:

d = 683.95 ft - 174.78 ft

<span>d = 509.17 ft</span>
