a x b = -3. b x b = 1. Now whats -3 - 1? When a letter is right next to another letter without a space, that means it wants you to multiply the value of one letter by the other. for example, if x equals 2 and y equals 3, and they're right next to each other like this: xy that means you need to multiply x by y. X times Y = 2 times 3. 2x3=6. If you see a letter with a small number beside it, this means that it wants you to multiply the value of that letter by itself times the little number on the top. For example, if n equals 6, and the little number on the top right is 3, then that means you have to multiply 6 by 6 three times. 6 x 6 x 6 = 216.

I am studying for a discrete math final and I do not understand the provided solution. Specifically, how to rationalize "C(12,10
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is an equation in three variables

x_1+x_2+x_3 =10 where the three variables are non negative integers.

Since sum =10, and each integer has minimum value 1, we find that each variable can take values as 1,2,...8 only

If first variable is 1, the other two can be 1,8  or 2,7 or... 8,1  ... 8 ways

If first variable is 2, ...   the other two can be 1,7  or 2,6 or..7,1 ... 7 ways

This will go up to first variable =8

Thus we have total number of solutions as

8+7+6+5+...+1\\=36

Thus possible solutions are 36

A point x is 34m due to east of a point Y . The bearing of a flagpole from x and Y are N18°W And N40°E respectively .
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The distance of flag post from Y is 38.13 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider point Y at the intersection of both lines as shown below. Now the point X lies 34 meter from point Y in east direction.  

Now flag pole at point X lies at a bearing of N18°W. That is at point X from north, flag post makes an angle of 18° towards west.  

Similarly flag pole at point Y lies at a bearing of N40°E. That is at point Y from north, flag post makes an angle of 40° towards east.  

Consider ∆ AXY as right angle triangle. Therefore measure of angle FXY is,  

\angle AXY=\angle AXF+\angle FXY

\therefore 90 \degree=18\degree+\angle FXY

\angle FXY=72\degree

Consider ∆ BYX as right angle triangle. Therefore measure of angle FYX is,  

\angle BYX=\angle BYF+\angle FYX

\therefore 90 \degree=40\degree+\angle FYX

\angle FYX=50\degree

Refer attachment 1.  

From diagram consider the triangle FYX. To find the third angle that is ∠YFX can be calculated by using angle sum property of triangle.

∠YFX+∠FYX+∠FXY=180°

∠YFX+50°+72°=180°

∠YFX=58°

Refer attachment 2.  

Now the distance FY can be calculated using sin rule as follows,  

\frac{\sin X}{FY}=\frac{\sin F}{YX}=\frac{\sin Y}{FX}

Substituting the values,

\frac{\sin 72}{FY}=\frac{\sin 58}{34}=\frac{\sin 50}{FX}

Simplifying first two terms,

\frac{\sin 72}{FY}=\frac{\sin 58}{34}

Cross multiplying,

34\times\sin 72=FY\times \sin 58

\dfrac{34\times\sin 72}{\sin 58}=FY

FY=38.13 m

what is the different in the number of solutions between a system of equations and a system of inequalities?
KiRa [710]
A system of equations has at least one point in common in the solution (unless it is a special case)

A system of inequalities has regions of common solutions. (always an infinite number of solutions)
