Answer:

x = -8

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x = -3y-1

x = (-3y-1)/2

3x + 4y = -4

3[(-3y-1)/2]+4y = -4

(-9y-3/2)+4y = -4 (x2 all)

-9y-3+8y = -8

-9y+8y = -8+3

-y = -5

y = 5

3x+4.5 = -4

3x+20 = -4

3x = -24

x = -8

checking:

2.(-8)+3.5 = -1

-16+15 = -1 (checked)

Here we will use exponential form, which is

$y = y_{0} e^{kt}$

Initial value, y0 = 500

Double of 500 = 1000

$1000 = 500e^{k*1}$

$2 = e^k$

$k= ln (2)$

Required equation is

$y=500e^{x ln2} \\ y= 500 (2)^x$

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Part 1) The base is $25\ in$ and the height is $10\ in$

Part 2) The base is $7.5\ in$ and the height is $18.75\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

case 1) Right isosceles triangle of the left

Let

x------> the base of the rectangle

y----> the height of the rectangle

Remember that

In a right isosceles triangle the lengths of the legs of the triangle is the same

$y+x+y=45$

$2y+x=45$ ----> equation A

$\frac{x}{y} =\frac{5}{2}$

$x=2.5y$ -----> equation B

substitute equation B in the equation A

$2y+2.5y=45$

$4.5y=45$

$y=10\ in$

Find the value of x

$x=2.5(10)=25\ in$

case 2) Right isosceles triangle of the right

Let

x------> the base of the rectangle

y----> the height of the rectangle

Remember that

In a right isosceles triangle the lengths of the legs of the triangle is the same

$y+x+y=45$

$2y+x=45$ ----> equation A

$\frac{y}{x} =\frac{5}{2}$

$y=2.5x$ -----> equation B

substitute equation B in the equation A

$2(2.5x)+x=45$

$6x=45$

$x=7.5\ in$

Find the value of y

$y=2.5(7.5)=18.75\ in$
