Mathematics

1 answer:

sattari [20]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

(a): x is 3 and ky is -1

(b): k is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let: 3x + ky = 8 be equation (a)

x - 2 ky = 5 be equation (b)

Then multiply equation (a) by 2:

→ 6x + 2ky = 16, let it be equation (c)

Then equation (c) + equation (b):

${ \sf{(6 + 1)x + (2 - 2)ky = (16 + 5)}} \\ { \sf{7x = 21}} \\ { \sf{x = 3}}$

Then ky :

${ \sf{2ky = 3 - 5}} \\ { \sf{ky = - 1}}$

${ \bf{y = \frac{1}{2} }} \\ { \sf{ky = - 1}} \\ { \sf{k = - 2}}$

Beverly drew the line AB shown below. She then constructed line DC which is the perpendicular bisector of AB.

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Line segments are congruent due to the side-angle-side congruence postulate.

Step-by-step explanation:

DC is the perpendicular bisector of line AB, this mean that DC divides AB at 90 degrees into two equal parts at point E. Hence:

AE = BE

Also DE ≅ DE (reflexive property of congruence)

Also ∠AED = ∠BED = 90° (perpendicular bisector)

We can therefore say that triangle AED and triangle BED are congruent according to the side-angle-side congruence theorem. Therefore line AD = line BD

A card is picked at random from a deck of cards, after putting it back another card is picked at random. Are these two events d

kvv77 [185]

Answer: Independent event

Step-by-step explanation:

When two events are independent of each other, this means that the probability that one event will occurs does not in any way affects the probability of the occurrence of the other event.

For example, card is picked at random from a deck of cards, and after putting it back,thne another card is picked at random. The probability of picking the cards is not affected by each other since it is put back.

ind the surface area of a sphere with a radius of 12 cm. Approximate as 3.14 and round your answer to the nearest hundredth

Bezzdna [24]

The surface area of a sphere is:

A=4πr^2, if r=12 and π is approximated as 3.14 then

A≈4(3.14)(12^2)

A≈4(3.14)(144)

A≈576(3.14)

A≈1808.64 cm^2

Number has more than two factors

VMariaS [17]

I'm going to assume that you are asking how a number can have two factors.
So, a factor is an integer (non-fractional/decimal number) you multiply by another integer to get the actual number.

Well, let's look at the number 4. The number four has the following factors:
1, 2, 4
In a 'rainbow' style, you match the two outer numbers, then the two next inner numbers, and so on.
Because the number '2' is the one in the center and there is no other number to multiply it by, it must multiply by itself to reach the number 4.
Well, you must have two numbers to actually multiply together, so every number has two factors: 1, and itself (except for 0).
I hope this helps, and good luck :)
