Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

4a+2b= 86 cm

a²+b²= 386 cm²

a+b=?

----------

  • 4a+2b= 86  
  • 2a+b= 43
  • (2a+b)²=43²
  • 4a²+4ab+b²=1849

b²= 386- a², b= 43- 2a

  • 4a²+4a(43-2a)+386-a²-1849=0
  • 4a²+172a-8a²-a²-1463=0
  • -5a²+172a-1463=0
  • 5a²-172a+1463=0

solving quadratic equation we get

a=19 - integer solution

b= 43-2*19= 5

a+b=19+5=24

At time​ t, the position of a body moving along the​ s-axis is sequalsnegative t cubed plus 15 t squared minus 72 t m. a. Find t
larisa [96]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that at time t, the position of a body moving along the​ s-axis is sequalsnegative t cubed plus 15 t squared minus 72 t m

i.e. s(t) = -t^3+15t^2-72 t

Velocity is nothing but s'(t) = derivative of s

and acceleration is s"(t) = derivative of v(t)

v(t) = -3t^2+30t-72\\=-3(t^2-10t+24)\\= -3(t-6)(t-4)

a) v(t) =0 when t = 4 or 6

b) a(t) = -6t+30

a(t) =0 when t =5

c) Distance travelled by the body from 0 to 5 would be

s(5)-s(0)\\= -5^3+15(5^2)-72(5)\\= -125+375-360\\=-110

i.e. 110 miles (distance cannot be negative)

IRISSAK [1]

5x-1=2x+3

subtract 2x from both sides.

3x-1=3

add 1 to both sides.

3x=4
