Answer: 2 and -10

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Starter:</u>

Let x be one of the two numbers

Let y be the other number

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

Solve:

Given

x + y = -8

xy = -20

Simplify

x = -8 - y

xy = -20

Substitution

(-8 - y)y = -20

Expand parenthesis

-8y - y² = -20

Add 20 on both sides

-8y - y² + 20 = -20 + 20

-8y - y² + 20 = 0

Solve quadratic equation

(y - 2) (y + 10) = 0

y = 2 or y = -10

x = -8 - y

x = -8 - (2) or x = -8 - (10)

x = -10 or x = 2

Hope this helps!! :)

What is 1/3 of 24.
Hint: 8
Now we make it a fraction 8/24
What is 5/8 of 24
15
Now we subtract
15/24-8/24-7/24

Your answer would be she walked 8/24

olga_2 [115]

Answer: y = v₀tgθx - gx²/2v₀²cos²θ

a = v₀tgθ

b = -g/2v₀²cos²θ

Step-by-step explanation:

x = v₀ₓt

y = v₀y.t - g.t²/2

x = v₀.cosθt → t = x/v₀.cosθ

y = v₀y.t - g.t²/2

v₀y = v₀.senθ

y = v₀senθ.x/v₀cosθ - g/2.(x/v₀cosθ)²

y = v₀.tgθ.x - gx²/2v₀²cos²θ

a = v₀tgθ → constant because v₀ and θ do not change

b = - g/2v₀²cos²θ → constant because v₀, g and θ do not change
