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 :

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

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

Answer:

y = 5/4x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 4y = 4

-4y = -5x + 4

y = (-5x + 4)/-4

y = 5/4x - 1

Parallel Slope ---> m = 5/4

(-8, 2)

y = mx + b

2 = 5/4(-8) + b

2 = 5 * -2 + b

2 = -10 + b

12 = b

b = 12

y = 5/4x + 12 <---- This is the answer

Hope this helps!

y=a.(X-x1)(X-x2)

x1 and x2 are x-intercepts

x1=-3

x2=1

other points: (-1,8) and (0,5)

y=a.(x+3).(x-1)

a=-2

f(x)= -2.(x+3)(x-1)

given a right-angled triangle with perimeter 18. The sum of the squares of the three side lengths is 128. What is the area of th

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

9units²

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle has 3 sides. Let the length of the three sides be a, b, c.

If the perimeter of the triangle is 18, then;

P = a+b+c

a+b+c = 18... 1

If the sum of the squares of the three side lengths is 128, this means;

a²+b²+c² = 128... 2

Since the triangle is also right angled, according to Pythagoras theorem;

c² = a²+b²... 3 (taking c as the hypotenuse)

Substitute equation 3 into 2;

(a²+b²)+c² = 128

c²+c² = 128

2c² = 128

c² = 128/2

c² = 64

c = √64

c = 8

Substituting c = 8 into 1

a+b+c = 18

a+b+8=18

a+b = 10 ...... 3

Substituting c = 8 into 2

a²+b²+c² = 128

a²+b²+8² = 128

a²+b²+64 = 128

a²+b²= 64..... 4

Solve equation 3 and 4 simultaneously;

a+b = 10

a²+b²= 64

From 4; a = 10-b

Substitute a = 10-b into 4;

(10-b)²+b² = 64

100-20b+b²+b² = 64

2b²-20b+100-64 = 0

2b²-20b+36 = 0

Divide through by 2:

b²-10b+18 = 0

b = 10±√10²-4(18)/2

b = 10±√100-72/2

b =( 10±√28)/2

b =(10±√4×7)/2

b = (10±2√7)/2

b = 5±√7

Hence b = 5+√7

If a+ b = 10

a+(5+√7 ) = 10

a = 10-(5+√7)

a = 10-5-√7

a = 5-√7

Area of the triangle A = 1/2 ab

A = 1/2 × (5+√7) × (5-√7)

A = 1/2 × (25-5√7+5√7-7)

A = 1/2 × (25-7)

A = 1/2 × 18

A = 9

Hence the are of the triangle is 9units²
