One number is eight more than a second number. Five times the first is 8 less than 2 times the second. Find the numbers.

4 0

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2 numbers be x and y.

x - 8 = y --(1)

5x = 2y - 8 --(2)

sub (1) into (2):

5x = 2(x - 8) - 8

5x = 2x - 24

3x = -24

x = -8

sub x = -8 into (1):

y = -8 - 8 = -16

first number is -8 and second number is -16.

Which point is on the line y = -2x + 3?<br> (-2,-1)<br> (3, -3)<br> (3, 3)<br> (-3,-9)
balandron [24]

Answer:

Hence (3, -3)   is  on the given line y = -2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

For a point on the Line, It must Satisfy the Equation of a line

Therefore for

y=-2x+3

For (-2,-1)

Substitute x = - 2 and y = -1 in above equation

Left Hand Side = y

                         = -1

Right Hand Side = -2 × (-2) +3

                           = 4 +3

                           = 7

Left Hand Side ≠ Right Hand Side

Not Satisfied

Hence (-2,-1)  is NOT on the given line

For (3, -3)

Substitute x = 3 and y = -3 in above equation

Left Hand Side = y

                         = -3

Right Hand Side = -2 × (3) +3

                           = -6 +3

                           = -3

Left Hand Side = Right Hand Side

Satisfied

Hence (3, -3)   is  on the given line y = -2x + 3

For (3, 3)

Substitute x = 3 and y = 3 in above equation

Left Hand Side = y

                         = 3

Right Hand Side = -2 × (3) +3

                           = -6 +3

                           = -3

Left Hand Side ≠ Right Hand Side

Not Satisfied

Hence (3,3)  is NOT on the given line

For (-3,-9)

Substitute x = -3 and y = -9 in above equation

Left Hand Side = y

                         = -9

Right Hand Side = -2 × (-3) +3

                           = 6 +3

                           = 9

Left Hand Side ≠ Right Hand Side

Not Satisfied

Hence (-3,-9)  is NOT on the given line

A group of rowdy teenagers near a wind turbine decide to place a pair of pink shorts on the tip of one blade, they notice the sh
Paladinen [302]

The equation of the sinusoidal function is 7 × sin((π/15)·(x - 2.5)) + 9

<em>Question:</em><em> The likely missing parameters in the question are;</em>

<em>The time at which the shorts are at the maximum height, t₁ = 10 seconds</em>

<em>The time at which the shorts are at the minimum height, t₂ = 25 seconds</em>

  • The general form of a sinusoidal function is A·sin(B(x - h)) + k

Where;

A = The amplitude

The period, T = 2·π/B

The horizontal shift = h

The vertical shift = k

The parent equation of the sine function = sin(x)

We find the values of the variables, <em>A</em>, <em>B</em>, <em>h</em>, and <em>k</em> as follows;

The given parameters of the sinusoidal function are;

The maximum height = 16 meters at time t₁ = 10 seconds

The minimum height = 2 meters at time t₂ = 25 seconds

The time it takes the shorts to complete a cycle, (maximum height to maximum height), the period, T = 2 × (t₂ - t₁)

∴ T = 2 × (25 - 10) = 30

The amplitude, A = (Maximum height- Minimum height)/2

∴ A = (16 m - 2 m)/2 = 7 m

The amplitude of the motion, A = 7 meters

T = 2·π/B

∴ B = 2·π/T

T = 30 seconds

∴ B = 2·π/30 = π/15

B = π/15

At t = 10, y = Maximum

Therefore;

sin(B(x - h)) = Maximum, which gives; (B(x - h)) = π/2

Plugging in B = π/15, and t = 10, gives;

((π/15)·(10 - h)) = π/2

10 - h = (π/2) × (15/π) = 7.5

h = 10 - 7.5 = 2.5

h = 2.5

The minimum value of a sinusoidal function, having a centerline of which is on the x-axis, and which has an amplitude, <em>A</em>, is <em>-A</em>

Therefore, the minimum value of the motion of the turbine blades before, the vertical shift = -A = -7

The given minimum value = 2

The vertical shift, k = 2 - (-7) = 9

Therefore, k = 9

Therefore;

The equation of the sinusoidal function is 7 × sin((π/15)·(x - 2.5)) + 9
