Find two positive integers such that their sum is 10, and minimize the sum of their squares.

Answer:

5 and 5 is the lowest answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on what I'm assuming from that cryptic question, I assume you are looking for two numbers that add up to 10, but have the smallest sum when they are squared and added.

So I would start with 5 and 5, because they have the best chance.

If you do anything like 3 + 7,

You will get an answer of 49 + 9, which is rather high.

2 and 8 gives you 4 + 64, which is worse.

4 and 6  gives you 16 and 36, which add to 52, which is better.

5 and 5 gives you 25 and 25, which is 50, the best choice.

Solve the system of equations using elimination.
Dmitrij [34]

So just plug in the numbers (x,y) into the equations.

A) (7.5, -5)

2(7.5) -5 = 10

15 - 5 = 10 yup, this works.

Let's see if it works for other equation.

-2(7.5) + 2(-5) = 5

-15 - 10 = 5 nope, this does not work.

B) (-2.5, -5)

2(-2.5) - 5 = 10

-5 - 5 = 10 nope, doesn't work

Since it doesn't work we don't need to try for other equation.

C) (2.5, 5)

2(2.5) + 5 = 10

5 + 5 = 10 yup, this works.

Now the other equation.

-2(2.5) + 2(5) = 5

-5 + 10 = 5 and this works.

So the solution to this set is answer choice C

4. a. Yes

   b. No

   c. No

   d. Yes

1. C. -1/8 points

3. a. -3.7 + 8 = positive number                  8 = a.           4/3 = d.                                                            

   b. -8 - 1/1/3 = negative number              -8 = b, c.         -5 = b, d.                                                                            

   c. -8 + 8 = 0                                          -4.9 = b, d.     -5.4 = b, d.                                                                                                            

   d. -4.52 + -4.9 = negative number       3.8 = a, d.    3.86 = a, d.

Can someone help me with this question
horsena [70]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: diameter = 16 in

hence radius, r is 16 ÷ 2 = 8 in

a) notice that the fan blades divide the circle into 3 equal sectors.

Each sector is hence 1/3 of the entire circumference of the circle

Arc Length of each sector (between blades),

=  (1/3) x circumference

= (1/3) x 2πr

= (1/3) x 2 x 3.142 x 8

= 16.76 in (Answer)

b) similarly, the area between the blades

= (1/3) x πr²

= (1/3) x 3.142 x 8²

= 67.03 in² (answer)

c) The angular velocity is the radians per second that the tip moves

It is given that it moves 8π radians in 2 seconds

hence in 1 second, we expect the tip to move,

8π ÷ 2 = 4π rad/s (Answer)

A palm tree casts a shadow that is 28 feet long. A 6-foot sign casts a shadow 8 feet long.
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer: The height of the palm tree is 21 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve this:

Actual height to shadow for both objects. The fraction equivalents must be equal.

6/8 = x/28 . Cross multiply

6(28) = 8x

168 = 8x   Divide both sides by 8  (8's "cancel" on the right)

168/8 =8x/8

21 = x . This gives us the tree's height as 21 feet.

<em>Another way to solve this is to use the ratios, but simplify the first fraction</em>

<em>6/8 = 3/4</em>

<em>Then multiply the length of the shadow by 3/4</em>

<em>3/4 × 28 = height</em>

<em>28÷4 = 7    7 × 3 = 21</em>

<em>21  feet= the height of the palm tree.</em>
