Step-by-step explanation:

y =-5

5x-6y=40

5x-6(-5)=40

5x+30=40

5x=40-30

x=10/5

x=2

Answer:

The value of x is 2 and y is -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, y = - 5 and 5x - 6y = 40 are two given equations.

<u>Substitution Method</u><u>:</u>

y = - 5 ...(1)

5x - 6y = 40 ...(2)

Now, put the value of y = - 5 in equation (2) we get,

5x - 6y = 40

5x - 6(-5) = 40

5x - (-30) = 40

5x + 30 = 40

Now, Subtract 30 from both side

5x + 30 - 30 = 40 - 30

5x = 10

Now, Divide by 5 from both side

5x ÷ 5 = 10 ÷ 5

x = 2

Thus, The value of x is 2 and y is -5

<h3><u>FOR</u><u> </u><u>VERIFICATION</u><u> </u><u>ONLY:</u></h3>

5x - 6y = 40

5(2) - 6(-5) = 40

10 - (-30) = 40

10 + 30 = 40

40 = 40

Hence, L.H.S = R.H.S

find the slope of the curve y=x^2-2x-5 at the point P(2,5) by finding the limit of secant slopes through point P
Fynjy0 [20]

The point (2, 5) is not on the curve; probably you meant to say (2, -5)?

Consider an arbitrary point Q on the curve to the right of P, (t,y(t))=(t,t^2-2t-5), where t>2. The slope of the secant line through P and Q is given by the difference quotient,

\dfrac{(t^2-2t-5)-(-5)}{t-2}=\dfrac{t^2-2t}{t-2}=\dfrac{t(t-2)}{t-2}=t

where we are allowed to simplify because t\neq2.

Then the equation of the secant line is

y-(-5)=t(x-2)\implies y=t(x-2)-5

Taking the limit as t\to2, we have

\displaystyle\lim_{t\to2}t(x-2)-5=2(x-2)-5=2x-9

so the slope of the line tangent to the curve at P as slope 2.

- - -

We can verify this with differentiation. Taking the derivative, we get

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=2x-2

and at x=2, we get a slope of 2(2)-2=2, as expected.
