Answer:

(xy - 4)(xy + 4).

Step-by-step explanation:

The is the difference of 2 squares.

a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b: so we have:

x^2y^2 - 16 = (xy - 4)(xy + 4)

earnstyle [38]

Given that the figures are similar polygons, the ratio of their ratios should be equal to the square of the ratio of their circumference. If we let x be the lateral area of the smaller cylinder then,
(x/210π) = (24π/60π)²
The value of x from the equation is,
x = 33.6π
Thus, the area of the smaller cylinder is equal to 33.6π mm².

A bridge in the shape of an arch connects two cities separated by a river. The two ends of the bridge are located at (–7, –13) a

sdas [7]

Answer:

$y=-\dfrac{13}{49}x^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of an arch corresponds to a parabola.

the general equation for a parabola is:

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

we're given three coordinates: (-7,-13),(7,-13) and (0,0)

so we can plug these values in the general equation to make 3 separate equations:

(x,y) = (-7,-13)

$-13=a(-7)^2+b(-7)+c$

$49a-7b+c=-13$

(x,y) = (7,-13)

$-13=a(7)^2+b(7)+c$

$49a+7b+c=-13$

(x,y) = (0,0)

$0=a(0)^2+b(7)+c$

$c=0$

so we have three equations. and we can solve them simultaneously to find the values of a,b, and c.

we've already found c = 0, let's use substitute it to other equations.

$49a-7b+c=-13\quad\Rightarrow\quad49a-7b=-13$

$49a+7b+c=-13\quad\Rightarrow\quad49a+7b=-13$

we can solve these two equation using the elimination method, by simply adding the two equations

$\quad\quad49a-7b=-13\\+\quad49a+7b=-13$

------------------------------

$\quad\quad 98a=-26$

$\quad\quad a=-\dfrac{13}{49}$

Now we can plug this value of a in any of the two equations.

$49a-7b=-13$

$49\left(-\dfrac{13}{49}\right)-7b=-13$

$-13-7b=-13$

$-7b=0$

$b=0$

We have the values of a,b, and c. We can plug them in the general equation to find the equation of the arch.

$y=\left(-\dfrac{13}{49}\right)x^2+0x+0$

$y=-\dfrac{13}{49}x^2$

$49y=-13x^2$

This our equation of the arch!

Find the nth term of this number sequence<br> 7, 10, 13, 16, ...<br><br> help please !!

LenKa [72]

Answer:

$a_{n}$ = 3n + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

there is a common difference between consecutive terms , that is

10 - 7 = 13 - 10 = 16 - 13 = 3

this indicates the sequence is arithmetic with nth term

$a_{n}$ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

here a₁ = 7 and d = 3 , then

$a_{n}$ = 7 + 3(n - 1) = 7 + 3n - 3 = 3n + 4
