Solve the simultaneous equation 2x + 4y=1 3x - 5y=7

Mathematics
1 answer:
nexus9112 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 3/2 or 1.5.

y = -1/2 or -0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for one equation, one variable.

2x + 4y = 1

subtrract 4y from both sides.

2x = 1 - 4y

divide by 2 to get x by itself.

x = 1/2 - 2y

Now that we have this, we can put it into the other equation.

3x - 5y = 7

Substitute variable.

3(1/2 - 2y) - 5y = 7

Distribute the 3.

1.5 - 6y - 5y = 7

Combine terms.

-11y + 1.5 = 7

Subtract by 1.5.

-11y = 5.5

Divide by -11.

y = -1/2, or -0.5.

Now we can find x. Substitute this into the initial equation.

2x + 4y = 1

Substitute variable.

2x + 4(-1/2) = 1

Multiply.

2x + (-2) = 1

Simplify.

2x - 2 = 1

Add 2 to both sides.

2x = 3

Divide by 2.

x = 3/2, or 1.5.

x = 3/2 or 1.5.

y = -1/2 or -0.5.

What's an example of a situation in which it is better to find the difference in order to compare two quantities.
Flauer [41]
When you find the difference to compare two different quantities, it shows what is missing from one that is in the other. for example if you compare 4 and 8 by subtracting 4 from 8, then you know that 8 is 4 more than 4.

Which is the BEST estimate of the average rate of change for the function given in the table, over the interval 2 ≤ x ≤ 4?
ladessa [460]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula:

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Picking x = 2 and x  = 4 as my two points (since the interval is 2 ≤ x ≤ 4), we get:

m = \frac{15-3}{4-2} = \frac{12}{2} = 6

So, the BEST estimate of the average rate of change for the function given in the table is 6.

What is the inverse equation of the function, y=5x-4
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

y^-1 = (x + 4)/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse equation of the function y=5x - 4, first we need to switch the x and y:

→ y = 5x - 4

→ x = 5y - 4

Now, solving for 'y':

→ x = 5y - 4

→ x + 4 = 5y

→ y = (x + 4)/5

therefore, the inverse equation is: y^-1 = (x + 4)/5

The volume v of a cylinder is computed using the values 2.2 m for diameter and 6.8 m for height. use the linear approximation to
geniusboy [140]

A linear approximation to the error in volume can be written as

... ∆V = (∂V/∂d)·∆d + (∂V/∂h)·∆h

For V=(π/4)·d²·h, this is

... ∆V = 2·(π/4)·d·h·∆d + (π/4)·d²·∆h

Using ∆d = 0.05d and ∆h = 0.05h, this becomes

... ∆V = (π/4)·d²·h·(2·0.05 + 0.05) = 0.15·V

The nominal volume is

... V = (π/4)·d²·h = (π/4)·(2.2 m)²·(6.8 m) = 25.849 m³

Then the maximum error in volume is

... 0.15V = 0.15·25.849 m³ ≈ 3.877 m³

_____

Essentially, the error percentage is multiplied by the exponent of the associated variable. Then these products are added to get the maximum error percentage.
