Your digital camera has a 512 megabyte memory card. You take pictures at two resolutions, a low resolution requiring 4 megabytes

of memory per photo and a high resolution requiring 8 megabytes of memory per photo. Write an equation to model the amount of each kind of photo you can take.

One possible answer is 8H + 4L = 512

=======================================================

Explanation:

  • H = number of high resolution photos
  • L = number of low resolution photos

H and L are placeholders for positive whole numbers, or 0 could replace either variable.

1 high resolution photo takes up 8 mb of space, so H of them take up 8H megabytes of space.

1 low resolution photo takes up 4 mb of space, so L of them take up 4L megabytes.

Overall, the two types of photos take up 8H+4L megabytes, which is equal to 512 since that's the max capacity. That leads to the equation 8H+4L = 512

----------------------------------

Extra info:

There are other ways to express the equation 8H+4L = 512. We could divide each part by 4 to get 2H+L = 128, but I think this equation loses its descriptive quality in a way. We no longer can see that each high resolution photo takes up 8 megabytes (instead we might mistakenly think only 2 megabytes are used per high resolution photo). A similar mistake may happen with the low resolution photos also.

The equation 2H+L = 128 can be rearranged into L = -2H+128 when solving for L.

What is the solution of the system?
kakasveta [241]

Divide the first equation by 2 and add the result to the second equation. This will eliminate x.

... (-4x -2y)/2 + (2x +4y) = (-12)/2 +(-12)

... 3y = -18 . . . . . collect terms

... y = -6 . . . . . . . divide by 3

Substitute this into either equation to find x. Let's use the second equation, where the coefficient of x is positive.

... 2x +4(-6) = -12

... 2x = 12 . . . . . . . . add 24

... x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The solution is (x, y) = (6, -6).

Find the sum. 1-2+3-4+5-6+7-8...99-100
zysi [14]

Answer:

-50

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - 2 + 3 - 4 + 5 - 6 + 7 - 8...99 - 100

just means,

1 - 2 = -1

3 - 4 = -1

5 - 6 = - 1

7 - 8 = - 1

99 - 100 = -1

basically, -1 + -1 + -1 + -1 + ....+ -1 or -1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - ... - 1

(-1)^{n}

Treating Grandi's series as a divergent geometric series we may use the same algebraic methods that evaluate convergent geometric series to obtain a third value:

S = 1 − 1 − 1 + ..., so

1 − S = 1 − (1 − 1 − 1 ...) = 1 − 1 − 1 ... = S

1 - S = S

1 = 2*S

resulting in S = 1/2. The same conclusion results from calculating −S, subtracting the result from S, and solving 2S = 1

1/2 of the last term is 100 x 1/2 = 50

This because you are using 2 numbers per -1

example: 1 - 2 = -1 or 3 - 4 = -1 resulting in 50 of the -1 being subtracted
