Answer:

Numbers are 28 and -15

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark first number X, and second number Y, then:

x-y=43

and

x+y=13

We get system of two equations. Solve it by add both them together:

x-y+x+y=43+13

2x=56

x=28 we get first number

x+y=13

28+y=13

y=13-28

y=-15

find the coordinates of point Z that splits the segment XY located 3/7 of the way between X(-2,1) and Y(4,5)

Drupady [299]

Answer:

Z(-0.2, 2.2).

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use section formula when a point, say P, divides any segment ,say AB, internally in the ratio m:n.

$[x=\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, y= \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}]$

We have been given the points of segment XY as X at (-2,1) and Y at (4,5) and ratio is 3:7.

$(x_1, y_1)=(-2,1)$

$(x_2, y_2)=(4,5)$

$m:n=3:7$

Upon substituting coordinates of our given points in section formula we will get,

$[x=\frac{(3*4)+(7*-2)}{3+7}, y= \frac{3*5+7*1}{3+7}]$

$[x=\frac{12-14}{10}, y= \frac{15+7}{10}]$

$[x=\frac{-2}{10}, y= \frac{22}{10}]$

$[x=-0.2, y= 2.2]$

Therefore, coordinates of point Z will be (-0.2, 2.2).

Jim is trying to improve his speed on the track so he can qualify for the State Championships. As he is running, he goes from 70

kumpel [21]

Answer:

His acceleration is $\frac{1}{15}$ meters per seconds²

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of the speed

The formula of acceleration is $a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}$ , where

$v_{f}$ is the final speed
$v_{i}$ is the initial speed
The unit of the acceleration is meters/second²

∵ Jim goes from 70 meters/minute (beginning speed) to

106 meters/minute (final speed) in 9 seconds

∴ His initial speed $v_{i}$ = 70 meters/minute

- Change it the meter per second

∵ 1 minute = 60 seconds

∴ $\frac{70}{(1)(60)}=\frac{70}{60}=\frac{7}{6}$ meters/second

∴ $v_{i}$ = $\frac{7}{6}$ meters/second

∵ His final speed $v_{f}$ = 106 meters/minute

- Change it the meter per second

∴ $\frac{106}{(1)(60)}=\frac{106}{60}=\frac{53}{30}$ meters/second

∴ $v_{f}$ = $\frac{53}{30}$ meters/second

∵ The time of the change of his speed is 9 seconds

∴ t = 9

∵ The formula of acceleration is $a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}$

- Substitute the values of t, $v_{i}$ and $v_{f}$ in the formula above

∴ $a=\frac{\frac{53}{30}-\frac{7}{6}}{9}=\frac{1}{15}$

∴ His acceleration is $\frac{1}{15}$ meters per seconds²

The inverse, converse and contrapositive of a statement are used to determine the true values of the statement

<h3>How to determine the inverse, converse and contrapositive</h3>

As a general rule, we have:

If a conditional statement is: If p , then q .

Then:

Inverse -> If not p , then not q .
Converse -> If q , then p .
Contrapositive -> If not q , then not p .

Using the above rule, we have:

<u>Statement 1</u>

Inverse: If a parallelogram does not have a right angle, then it is not a rectangle.
Converse: If a parallelogram is a rectangle, then it has a right angle.
Contrapositive: If a parallelogram is a not rectangle, then it does not have a right angle.

All three statements above are true

<u>Statement 2</u>

Inverse: If two angles of one triangle are not congruent to two angles of another, then the third angles are not congruent.
Converse: If the third angles of two triangle are congruent, then the two angles are congruent to two angles of another
Contrapositive: If the third angles of two triangle are not congruent, then the two angles are not congruent to two angles of another

All three statements above are also true

Solve this system of equations using the substitution method.

Bingel [31]

Answer:

x = 1.2

y = 6.6

Step-by-step explanation:

1) y= -2x+9

2) 8x-3=y

Substitute y in equation 1 using y in equation 2.

8x - 3 = -2x + 9

+ 3 on both sides

8x = -2x + 12

+ 2x on both sides

10x = 12

x = 1.2

To find y, plug in x

8x - 3 = y

9.6 - 3 = y

6.6 = y

Hope this helps :)
