Solve for x in the simultaneous equation 2x+y=3 ,5x-2y=12

Mathematics
1 answer:
sp2606 [1]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + y = 3 → (1)

5x - 2y = 12 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 2 and adding to (2) will eliminate the y- term

4x + 2y = 6 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term

(5x + 4x ) +( - 2y + 2y) = 12 + 6 , that is

9x = 18 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 2

If you need the geometry and trigonometry I'll post those.  Instead I found an answer at this link: http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/EMAT6450/Class%20Projects/Scarpelli/Scarpelli_MathematicsBaseballActivity.....
The distance from home plate to the pitcher's mound is 60.5 feet and from home plate to second base is <span>127.28 feet.
Pitcher's Mound to 2nd base = </span><span> <span> <span> 66.78</span> </span>f</span>eet

Given those distances, we KNOW a 50 foot sprinkler will NOT reach home plate and second base from the pitcher's mound.

I didn't figure out the pitcher's mound to 1st or to 3rd, since the question is already answered.

Leviafan [203]

Answer: B.54 Square inches

Step-by-step explanation:  Surface Area

= 2(lb + bh + lh)

= 2(6 x 3 + 3 x 1 + 6 x 1)

= 2(18 + 3 + 6)

= 2(27)

= 54 square inches

Find the centroid of the region bounded by the given curves y=8sin(4x), y=8cos(4x)
Luba_88 [7]
A cosine is just a sine shifted to the left by π/2. A cosine of 4x is shifted to the left by only π/8 because of the factor 4. Sketch them.

The region we're looking for is this sausage-shaped part between the cos and the sin.

The x intercepts are at π/8 for the cosine and π/4 for the sine. The midpoint between them is at (π/8 + π/4)/2 = 3/16π.

The region is point symmetric around the x axis, so the y coordinate of the centroid is 0.

So the centroid is at (3/16π, 0)
