Answer:

the numbers are 9 and 27

Step-by-step explanation:

equation to the problem: x+y=36

one number (y) is 18 times greater than the other number (x): x+18=y

plug in the 2nd equation to the first equation (systems of equations):

x+(x+18)=36

solve the equation:

2x+18=36

*minus 18 on both sides*

2x=18

*divide the whole equation by 2 to get the value of just one x*

x=9

since variable x is the n smaller number, add 18 to 9 to get the 2nd number:

18+9= 27

y=27

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b=36

lets name the 2 numbers a,b

b=a+18

a+a+18=36

What is the vertex of the parabola whose equation is y = (x + 1)^2 + 3?
dalvyx [7]
The y-value of the vertex is positive 3, as shown by the +3 on the right hand side of the equation, and the x-value is -1, from the (x+1)^2 (remember, when the number is inside the brackets, flip the sign) The vertex would be (-1, 3) 

If you are looking for a rigorous answer (calculus), we must find the mininum point of the equation: f(x) = (x+1)^2 + 3 f
f'(x) = 2(x+1) = 2x + 2
2x + 2 = 0 
x = -1
f(1) = (-1 + 1)^2 + 3
f(1) = 0 + 3 = 3
(-1, 3)
