Mathematics

Alex787 [66]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 12

y = -29

Step-by-step explanation:

Our given equations: x + y = -17 and x - y = 41

Solve for x and substitute.

x = -17 - y

(-17 - y) - y = 41

-17 - 2y = 41

2y = -58

y = -29

Solve for x using y

x + (-29) = -17

x = 12

How far from the base of a building must the bottom of a 15-foot ladder sit in order for it to make a 52 angle with the ground?
olga55 [171]

Answer:

9.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the ladder is 15 ft

The ladder makes an angle of 52° with the ground

The distance (x) from the base of the house to the foot of the ladder is given by;

\frac{x}{15} = cos 52°

x = 15 × cos 52° = 9.23492213 ft

Which equals to 9.2 ft (rounded off to tenth of a foot)

What is the vertex of y=-2x^2+10x+1 and is it a minimum or maximum
Reika [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

it is maximum.

when leading coefficient of x² is negative,

It is downward parabola.

or

y=-2x²+10x+1

=-2(x²-5x+(-5/2)²-(-5/2)²)+1

=-2(x-5/2)²+2×25/4+1

=-2(x-5/2)²+25/2+1

=-2(x-5/2)²+27/2

maximum value of y is 27/2 and is attained at x=5/2

vertex is (5/2,27/2)
