Let, the numbers = x,y
Now, x + y = 38
x - y = 50, x = 50 + y

Substitute it into first equation,
50 + y + y = 38
2y = 38 - 50
y = -12 / 2
y = -6

Substitute it into first equation,
x - 6 = 38
x = 38 + 6 = 44

So, your final answer is x = 44 & y = -6

Hope this helps!

2. When Joey dives off a diving board, the equation of his pathway can be modeled by h = -16- + 15 + 12.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

a) The maximum height is approx 15.5 unit.

b) The time it will take for Joey to reach the water is 1.45 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : When Joey dives off a diving board, the equation of his pathway can be modeled by $h(t)= -16t^2+15t + 12$

To find : a) Find Joey's maximum height.

b) Find the time it will take for Joey to reach the water.

Solution :

Modeled $h(t)= -16t^2+15t + 12$ ....(1)

a) To find maximum height

Derivate (1) w.r.t. t,

$h'= -32t+15$

For critical point put h'=0,

$-32t+15=0$

$t=\frac{15}{32}$

$t=0.46875$

Derivate again w.r.t. t,

$h''= -32$

It is maximum at t=0.46875.

Substitute t in equation (1),

$h(0.46875)= -16(0.46875)^2+15(0.46875)+12$

$h(0.46875)= -3.515625+7.03125+12$

$h(0.46875)= 15.515625$

The maximum height is approx 15.5 unit.

b) To find the time it will take for Joey to reach the water.

Put h=0 in equation (1),

$-16t^2+15t + 12=0$

Apply quadratic formula, $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Here, a=-16 , b=15, c=12

$t=\frac{-15\pm\sqrt{(15)^2-4(-16)(12)}}{2(-16)}$

$t=\frac{-15\pm\sqrt{225+768}}{-32}$

$t=\frac{-15\pm\sqrt{993}}{-32}$

$t=\frac{-15+\sqrt{993}}{-32},\frac{-15-\sqrt{993}}{-32}$

$t=−0.515,1.453$

Reject negative value.

The time is t=1.45.

The time it will take for Joey to reach the water is 1.45 hour.

The quotient of a number and -5 is 6. What is the number?

Fofino [41]

Answer:

-30.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are dividing by a negative number to get a positive one, so we need the other number to also be negative.

We can re-write this as -5 * 6

This can be simplified into -30.
