What should be done to these equations in order to solve a system of equations by elimination?

Answer

You can multiply the first equation by 4 and the second equation by 3.

You can multiply the first equation by 4/3.

You can multiply the first equation by 3.

Explanation

When solving a system of equations by elimination, you want to add or subtract the equations to "get rid" of a variable.

To do that, one of the variables in both equations have to have the same coefficient.

The first answer possible gives x the coefficient of 12 for both equations. You would get 12x+4y=52 and 12x-9y=39. You could subtract those equations to get 13y=13.

The second way gives x the coefficient of 4. You would multiply the first equation by 4/3 to get 4x+4/3y=52/3. You can subtract to get one variable, and then solve from there. Although, multiplying for 4/3 is annoying, so it's not suggested.

You can also "get rid" the the y. Multiply the first equation by 3 to get 9x+3y=39. You can add these equations. When you add 9x+3y=39 and 4x-3y=13 you get 13x=52.

lapo4ka [179]
1 foot = 12 inches
Height of Jacob = 5 feet 6 inches = 5 *12 + 6 = 66 inches
Jacob's <span>shadow = 3 feet = 36 inches

</span>giraffe's shadow = <span>5 feet 9 inches = 5 * 12 + 9 = 69 inches

</span><span>by the ratio and proportion

∴ </span>Height of Jacob/Jacob's shadow = Height of giraffe/giraffe's shadow

∴ 66/36 = Height of giraffe/69

∴ Height of giraffe = 69 * 66/36 = 126.5 inches = 10 feet 6.5 inches

The position of an object at time t is given by s(t) = 1 - 12t. Find the instantaneous velocity at t = 2 by finding the derivati
yulyashka [42]

The change of displacement with respect to time is defined as speed. Velocity is a vector quantity. The instantaneous velocity at t = 2 is -12.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

The change of displacement with respect to time is defined as Velocity. velocity is a vector quantity. It is a time-based component. Its standard unit is m/sec.

Given that the position of an object at time t is given by s(t) = 1 - 12t. Therefore, the velocity of the object can be written as,

V = ds/dt

   = d(1 - 12t)/dt

   = -12

s'(t) = -12

Now, the instantaneous velocity at t=2 is,

s'(2) = -12

Hence, the instantaneous velocity at t = 2 is -12.

Why is it important to calculate the distance between two points on a cartesian coordinate plane?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Derived from the Pythagorean Theorem, the distance formula is used to find the distance between two points in the plane. The Pythagorean Theorem,

a

2

+

b

2

=

c

2

, is based on a right triangle where a and b are the lengths of the legs adjacent to the right angle, and c is the length of the hypotenuse. The relationship of sides

|

x

2

−

x

1

|

and

|

y

2

−

y

1

|

to side d is the same as that of sides a and b to side c. We use the absolute value symbol to indicate that the length is a positive number because the absolute value of any number is positive. (For example,

|

−

3

|

=

3

. ) The symbols

|

x

2

−

x

1

|

and

|

y

2

−

y

1

|

indicate that the lengths of the sides of the triangle are positive. To find the length c, take the square root of both sides of the Pythagorean Theorem.

c

2

=

a

2

+

b

2

→

c

=

√

a

2

+

b

It follows that the distance formula is given as

d

=

(

x

−

x

)

(

y

−

y

d

=

√

(

x

2

−

x

1

)

2

+

(

y

2

−

y

1

)

2

We do not have to use the absolute value symbols in this definition because any number squared is positive.

A GENERAL NOTE: THE DISTANCE FORMULA

Given endpoints

Find the number of permutations in the word CIRCUS.
DerKrebs [107]
If the letters are considered distinct, then the number of permutations is 6!=720.

If we count either C as the same character, then we would be double-counting - to correct this, we would simply divided by the number of ways we can choose C from the available characters, or \dfrac{6!}{2!}=360.
