Cerrena [4.2K]3 years ago

Answer:

the larger number is 69

the smaller number is 16

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the smaller number

y is the larger number

x + y = 85

y - 4x = 5

y = 5 + 4x

x + 5 + 4x = 85

5x = 80

x = 16

y = 69

The function f(x) is an increasing function about which little else is known about other than f(2)=7 and f'(2)=5. Find (f^-1)'(7
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Since f(x) is (strictly) increasing, we know that it is one-to-one and has an inverse f^(-1)(x). Then we can apply the inverse function theorem. Suppose f(a) = b and a = f^(-1)(b). By definition of inverse function, we have

f^(-1)(f(x)) = x

Differentiating with the chain rule gives

(f^(-1))'(f(x)) f'(x) = 1

so that

(f^(-1))'(f(x)) = 1/f'(x)

Let x = a; then

(f^(-1))'(f(a)) = 1/f'(a)

(f^(-1))'(b) = 1/f'(a)

In particular, we take a = 2 and b = 7; then

(f^(-1))'(7) = 1/f'(2) = 1/5

Graph a line that contains the point (-5,-3) and has a slope of -2
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

-->

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph (-5,-3) and use the slope, -2, to find another point. -2 can also be written as -\frac{2}{1}

\frac{rise}{run} =\frac{-2}{1} and  \frac{rise}{run} =\frac{2}{-1} **

Use both. This works because either way, they will lie on the same line with the same slope. So, starting at (-5,-3), go down two points (-)* and to the left 1 (+)*, then, starting at (-5,-3) again, go up two points (+)* then to the right 1 point (-)*.

* If the number is negative, you either go down or to the right. If the number is positive, you go up and to the left.

**Rise over run refers to the change in the y-axis and the change in the x-axis: \frac{rise}{run} =\frac{y-axis}{x-axis}. Only one number is negative because, if both were negative, that would make a positive number, but the slope is -2, not 2.

Another way you could do this is by finding points first. All you need to do is turn the slope into a "point". Remember, 2 is the y and 1 is the x:

-2=-\frac{2}{1} = (1,-2) and (-1,2)

Then, using (-5,-3) and your new points, add them separately:

(-5,-3)+(1,-2)\\(-5+1,-3+(-2))\\(-5+1,-3-2)\\(-4,-5)

(-4,-5) is one point

(-5,-3)+(-1,2)\\(-5+(-1),-3+2)\\(-5-1,-3+2)\\(-6,-1)

(-6,-1) is another point. Connect the three points. You can check your work on the graph:

Which equation can be solved by using this system of equations? startlayout enlarged left-brace 1st row y = 3 x superscript 5 ba
Mariulka [41]

An equation which can be used to solve the given system of equations is 3x⁵ - 5x³ + 2x² - 10x + 4 = 4x⁴ + 6x³ - 11.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

y = 3x⁵ - 5x³ + 2x² - 10x + 4

y = 4x⁴ + 6x³ - 11

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations can be defined an algebraic equation that only has two (2) variables and can be solved simultaneoulsy.

Equating the given equations, we have:

y = y

3x⁵ - 5x³ + 2x² - 10x + 4 = 4x⁴ + 6x³ - 11

3x⁵ - 5x³ + 2x² - 10x + 4 - (4x⁴ + 6x³ - 11) = 0

3x⁵ - 5x³ + 2x² - 10x + 4 - 4x⁴ - 6x³ + 11 = 0

3x⁵ - 5x³ + 2x² - 10x + 4 - 4x⁴ - 6x³ + 11 = 0

3x⁵ - 4x⁴ - 11x³ + 2x² - 10x + 15 = 0
