Answer:

Solution set:  (3, 4) and (4, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Please, to indicate exponentiation, use " ^ ":  a^2 and b^2

Then you have:

a + b = 7 and a^2 + b^2 = 25.

Let's eliminate b:  Solve a + b = 7 for b, obtaining b = 7 - a.

Then we have:

a^2 + (7 - a)^2 = 25, or

a^2 + 49 - 14a + a^2 - 25 = 0, or

2a^2 - 14a + 24 = 0, or

a^2 - 7a + 12 = 0, which factors as follows:

(a - 3)(a - 4) = 0

This results in a = 3 and a = 4, in which case the equation a + b = 7 tells us that the b values are 4 and 3 respectively.

Solution set:  (3, 4) and (4, 3)

3(r-6)+2=4(r+2)-21 find the value of x and show steps
MAXImum [283]
 3(r-6) +2 = 4(r+2) -21
3r - 6r +2 = 4r +8 -21
     -3r +2 = 4r -13
            2 = 7r -13
          15 = 7r
             r = \frac{15}{2}
             r = 7.5

which of the following temperatures is most precise? A) 45 degrees. B) 89.7 degrees. C) 80 degrees. D) 32.45 degrees
xxTIMURxx [149]
32.45 is most precise . Precise means how many points after decimal is reached. Accurate means how close your measurement of a value is that to the true value. Eg :Say 35cm is the measure of length of a body and a person got the measurement to be 34 . Another person2 got the measurement to be 32.88 . So in this case the first person has an accurate answer as he is close to the true value 35 , but person2 is more precise as he has two decimal places.

Suppose total benefits and total costs are given by b(y) = 100y − 8y2 and c(y) = 10y2. what is the maximum level of net benefits
olga nikolaevna [1]
Whenever you face the problem that deals with maxima or minima you should keep in mind that minima/maxima of a function is always a point where it's derivative is equal to zero.
To solve your problem we first need to find an equation of net benefits. Net benefits are expressed as a difference between total benefits and total cost. We can denote this function with B(y).

B(y)=b-c
B(y)=100y-18y²

Now that we have a net benefits function we need find it's derivate with respect to y.

\frac{dB(y)}{dy} =100-36y

Now we must find at which point this function is equal to zero.

0=100-36y
36y=100
y=2.8

Now that we know at which point our function reaches maxima we just plug that number back into our equation for net benefits and we get our answer.

B(2.8)=100(2.8)-18(2.8)²=138.88≈139.

One thing that always helps is to have your function graphed. It will give you a good insight into how your function behaves and allow you to identify minima/maxima points.

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP
Mrac [35]

Answer:

b) 43.3

Step-by-step explanation:

you use the trig ratio tangent because you are looking for the hypotenuse

so the equation should be <u>tan60</u> =  <u>x  </u>

                                                 1        25

and then you solve for that by cross multiplying and you get 43.3

Solve for X. Greatly appreciate if someone could answer soon:)
vampirchik [111]
X = 11
angle LKM = angle KLM = angle LMK because it is an equilateral triangle
180/3 = 60
60=3x-27
60-27=3x
33=3x
x=11
