Answer:
The smaller number is 3. The number 3 squared is 9, plus the other number 5 squared, which is 25. when you add them, you get 34

Step-by-step explanation:
x = first number
y = second number
a. x+2 = y
b. x^2 + y^2 = 34
Replace y from equation a into equation b:
x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 34
Expand it
x^2 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 34
2*x^2 + 4x = 30
2x^2 + 4x - 30=0
solving x:
x = -5 and x =3 , it says it is a positive number, then it is x is 3
and the second number, y = x + 2
y = 5
Lets test it!
3^2 + 5^ 2 = 9 + 25 = 34

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Number of employees = 192

See the table

Process

a) To solve this question, consider only the employees that prefer a jacket

          Male        77

          Female  +35

                         112 employees prefer a jacket

- Calculate the probability

            P = 112 / 192

            P = 0.58

b) Female and prefers a jacket

            P = (54 /192)(35/192)

            P = (0.28)(0.18)

            P = 0.05

The graph below displays the wrist circumferences and heights of six students in Alyssa’s classroom.
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Option D(No because the wrist circumference of 16 cm is paired with two heights.


Step-by-step explanation:

In the given graph we have  set of points representing the wrist circumferences and heights of six students in Alyssa’s classroom.

x axis  represents the wrist circumference while  y axis represent the height.

Any relation is called a function if for one value of x we have only one value of y. If the graph passes the vertical line test that is if a vertical line drawn touches the graph at only one point then the graph is called a function.In the given graph for x value x=16 there are two y values 162 and 165.So the graph is not a function.

Among all the options Option D(No because the wrist circumference of 16 cm is paired with two heights.) is the right answer.

Perform the operation.<br> (-x^2 – 1) – (-2x^2 – 4)
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Okay!

Step-by-step explanation:

I have simplified the operation, and I got x^2 + 3.

If you wanted me to evaluate, the answer is still  x^2 + 3.

If you wanted me to subtract then the answer is again,  x^2 + 3.

Basically the answer is  x^2 + 3.

Have a good day!
