Answer:

Quadrants I and IV

Step-by-step explanation:

When we graph y^2 = x - 4, we see that it is on the x axis, and goes up into Quadrant I, and down into Quadrant IV

One positive number is 14 less than another positive number. If the reciprocal of the smaller number is added to five times the

Kipish [7]

Let's call the two numbers $s$ and $l$ .

Given these variables, we can say: $s = l - 14$ , based on the first sentence in the problem.

Also, remember that the reciprocal of a number is simply 1 divided by the number. Thus, we can say that:

$\dfrac{1}{s} + 5\Big( \dfrac{1}{l} \Big) = \dfrac{1}{4}$

To solve, we can simply substitute $l -14$ in for $s$ in the second equation and solve.

$\dfrac{1}{l - 14} + \dfrac{5}{l} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

Set up

$\dfrac{l}{l(l - 14)} + \dfrac{5(l - 14)}{l(l - 14)} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

Get terms on the left side to a common denominator for easier addition

$\dfrac{l + 5l - 70}{l(l - 14)} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

Simplify

$4(6l - 70) = l(l - 14)$

Cross multiplication ( $\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d} \Rightarrow ad = bc$ )

$24l - 280 = l^2 - 14l$

Simplify

$l^2 - 38l + 280 = 0$

Subtract $24l - 280$ from both sides of the equation

$(l - 10)(l - 28) = 0$

Factor left side of the equation

$l = 10, 28$

Zero Product Property

Now, notice that we have found two solutions, but the problem is only asking for one. This <em>likely </em>means that one of our solutions is extraneous. Let's take a look. Remember that the smaller positive number is equal to 14 less than the larger number. However,

$s = 10 - 14 = -4$ ,

Since $s$ is not positive in this case, $l = 10$ is not a solution.

Thus, $l = 28$ is our only solution. In this case,

$s = 28 - 14 = 14$ ,

which means that the smaller number is 14 and the larger number is 28.

Suppose that there are five young women and six young men on an island. Each woman is willing to marry some of the men on the is

pochemuha

Answer:

Based on the current information, the last man remaining unmarried will be a choice between two

Jason marries Anna

Matt marries Elizabeth

Kevin marries Barbara

Larry marries Diane

Carol can marry either Nick or Oscar

Step-by-step explanation:

The basic method to sort which woman will be marrying which man is simple.

We have to extract the choice by comparing choices of each woman side by side and then selecting the least common one and hence sorting one by one.

First, let's name all the women and men

1. Anna

2. Barbara

3. Carol

4. Diane

5. Elizabeth

We will refer to them with the initial letter of their name . A for Anna, B for Barbara, C for Carol, D for Diane, E for Elizabeth.

The men :

1. Jason

2. Larry

3. Matt

4. Kevin

5. Oscar

6. Nick

And they will be referred as J for Jason, L for Larry, M for Matt, K for Kevin, O for Oscar and N for Nick.

Options for A : J , L ,M

Options for B : K, L

Options for C : J, N , O

Options for D : J, L , N , O

Options for E : J, M

As we can see , no one else wants Kevin other than Barbara so :

Kevin marries Barbara

Moving onwards:

Elizabeth can marry either Jason or Matt,

Meanwhile Anna can marry either Jason , Larry or Matt

Hence,

Matt marries Eilzabeth

as Anna has two more choices still which are Jason and Larry.

Further, seeing the options for Carol and Diane

Carol can marry either Jason, Nick or Oscar while Diane can marry Larry as well as Jason , Nick and Oscar

We can select Jason as the match for Anna as Larry is also a choice for Diane.

Hence, Jason marries Anna

Now we are left with Larry , Nick and Oscar.

Since Carol can only decide from Nick and Oscar but Diane can decide from Larry, Nick and Oscar. Larry is the ideal option for Diane

so, Larry marries Diane

Now in the end, Carol can either choose between Nick or Oscar.

If she chooses Nick to marry, Oscar is left single

If she chooses Oscar to marry, Nick is left single.
