42 and 14

explanation:

x+y = 56
x = 3y

Substitute for x in the first equation:
x + y = 56
x = 3y
3y + y = 56
Combine like terms:
4y = 56
Divide both sides by 4:
y = 14

So if y = 14, and x = 3y, then x = 42.

Now substitute for both x and y in both of the original equations to prove they are the correct values.

x + y = 56
x = 42
y = 4
42 + 14 = 56
56 = 56

x = 3y
x = 42
y = 14
42 = 3*14
42 = 42

So the two numbers, x and y, are 42 and 14.

A sphere with center A is shown. Which represents a tangent?<br> | WE
lana [24]

Answer:

<h2>The segment FE is a tangent of the sphere.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Obseve the sphere in the image attached.

Notice that point A is the center of the sphere. GD is the diameter, which means AG and AD are radius.

On the other hand, remember that a tangent is a line that intersects the figure at only one point, otherwise, it would be a secant.

Therefore, segment BC is a secant and segment FE is tangent.

So, the right answer is segment FE.

A discontinuity is a point that cannot exist because the x-coordinate would cause a problem in the equation. If you have a polynomial in the denominator, you must find which values of x would cause the polynomial in the denominator to evaluate to zero. Since division by zero is undefined, that would cause a discontinuity.

Let's look at your function.

f(x) = \dfrac{x^2 - 16}{6x - 24}

x^2 - 16  is in the numerator. It is defined for every value of x. There is no problem there.

6x - 24  is in the denominator. This is a function defined for every value of x, but since it is in the denominator, we must exclude the x-value that would cause this polynomial to evaluate to zero.

We set it equal to zero and solve the equation for x.

6x - 24 = 0

6x = 24

x = 4

For x = 0, the denominator has a value of zero, so at this point there is a discontinuity in function f(x).

The answer is:

x \ne 4
