8 0

lets say that y is biggerr
y-x=5
and
y=x+5

pproduct is 126
xy=126
substiutute x+5 for y
(x+5)(x)=126
x^2+5x=126
x^2+5x-126=0
factor
whaat 2 numbbers multtiply to get -126 aand addd to gget 5
-9 and 14
(x-9)(x+14)=0
sset to zzero
x-9=0
x=9, nah we nneed 2 nnegative nnumbers

x+14=0
x=-14

so thenn
y=x+5
y=-14+5
y=-9

the summ is -14-9=-23

If b>a, b-a=5 so b=5+a

ab=126, using b from above

a(5+a)=126

5a+a^2=126

a^2+5a-126=0

(a+14)(a-9)=0, since a<0 the numbers are

-14 and -9

Answer:

1. d 2. d 3. a

Step-by-step explanation:

1. factor

((w-4)(w-6))/((w-5)(w-6))+8/(w-5)

solve

(w-4)/(w-5)+8/(w-5)

(w+4)/(w-5), so d

2.factor

((b+2)(b-4))((b+2)(b-1))-6/(b-1)

solve

(b-4)/(b-1)-6(b-1)

(b-10)/(b-1), so d

3. (2/5t-3/3t)/(1/2t+1/2t)

(2/5t-1/t)/(2/2t)

(2/5t-1/t)/(1/t)

t(2/5t-1/t)

2/5-1=-3/5, so a

A square pyramid has a height of 6 units and a volume of 70 units3. If a square prism has the same base area and volume as the s

inysia [295]

Answer:

The height is 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the base of the square pyramid

we know that

The volume of the square pyramid is equal to

$V=\frac{1}{3}BH$

where

B is the area of the base and H is the height of the pyramid

we have

$H=6\ units$

$V=70\ units^{3}$

substitute in the formula and solve for B

$70=\frac{1}{3}B(6)$

$B=70/2=35\ units^{2}$

step 2

Find the height of the square prism

we know that

The volume of the square prism is equal to

$V=Bh$

where

B is the area of the base and h is the height of the prism

we have

$B=35\ units^{2}$

$V=70\ units^{3}$

substitute in the formula and solve for h

$70=(35)h$

$h=2\ units$

What are transformation possible to change f(x) to g(x) on graph linear equation

Korolek [52]

Answer:

<h2>Vertical stretch or compression and vertical shift.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

When we talk about the transformation of functions, we can mention stretching, rotating, dilating, shifting. However, when we want to transform linear functions, there are only two transformations that are worthy in that case, those are vertical stretch or compression and vertical shift.

Now, you may ask, why only vertical transformation? the reason behind that is because horizontal transformation would give the exact same result because it's only a straight line which we are transforming.

Another common question would be, why only two transformations? it's because with these two you can get all the results because it's a straight line.
