How do you work out this equation

Mathematics

Gnom [1K]3 years ago

Answer:

x is equal to negative one, and y is equal to negative four.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do this by solving one of the equations by either x or y, then substituting it into the other.  Let's solve the second one for y:

2y = 3x - 5\\y = \frac{3x - 5}{2}

Now we'll substitute that into the first equation:

9x - 2y = -1\\9x - 2(\frac{3x - 5}{2}) = -1\\9x - 3x + 5 = -1\\6x + 5 = -1\\6x = -6\\x = -1

So we now know that x is equal to -1.  We can simply substitute that into one of the original equations to find y:

2y = 3x - 5\\2y = 3(-1) - 5\\2y = -3 - 5\\2y = -8\\y = -4

We now know that x is equal to -1, and y is equal to -4.  We can also check our answer by plugging that -4 into the other equation, and see if we still get -1:

9x - 2y = -1\\9x - 2(-4) = -1\\9x + 8 = -1\\9x = -1 - 8\\9x = -9\\x = -1

So we know that our answer is correct.

The stream of water from a fountain follows a parabolic path. The stream reaches a maximum height of 12 feet, represented by a v
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

y=-3/16(x-8)^2+12

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the vertex form equation for a parabola:

y=a(x-h)^2+k where (h,k) is the vertex.

Therefore, we have y=a(x-8)^2+12 as our equation so far. If we plug in (16,0) we can find a:

0=a(16-8)^2+12

0=64a+12

-12=64a

-12/64=a

-3/16=a

Therefore, your final equation is y=-3/16(x-8)^2+12

Match the following reasons with the statements in the given proof. Prove that if two angles are complementary to the same angle
yulyashka [42]

1. --> d

2. --> b

3. --> a

4. --> c

1 is d because that is the only piece of information that sounds like a given.

2 is b because we know that from the given, m∠1 is complementary to m∠2 and in the first problem, m∠1 + m∠2 = 90, they are added together. The definition of complementary angles is "Two angles with measures that, when added together, equal 90 degrees". Same thing with m∠3 and m∠2.

3 is a because since both of the problems equal 90 degrees, you can just take away the 90 and put an equal sign in between the two problems because they equal the same thing.

4 is c because you are subtracting m∠2 from the problems and ending up with just m∠1 = m∠3.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Inconsistent means it has no solution, which means they do not intersect

Dependent means it is the same line

You cannot have both the same line and not intersecting.
