PLS HELP solve the system of equation using elimination: 3x+y=-2 5x-y=-10

Mathematics
1 answer:
vredina [299]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

(-3/2, 5/2)

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define systems</u>

3x + y = -2

5x - y = -10

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

<em>Eliminate y</em>

  1. Add 2 equations together:                     8x = -12
  2. Divide 8 on both sides:                           x = -12/8
  3. Simplify fraction:                                      x = -3/2

<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>

  1. Define original equation:                    3x + y = -2
  2. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                                     3(-3/2) + y = -2
  3. Multiply:                                                -9/2 + y = -2
  4. Add 9/2 on both sides:                        y = 5/2

What is the local minimum value of the function? (Round answer to the nearest hundredth) g(x)=x^4-5x^2+4
Serhud [2]
The local minimum of function is an argument x for which the first derivative of function g(x) is equal to zero, so:
g'(x)=0
g'(x)=(x^4-5x^2+4)'=4x^3-10x=0
x(4x^2-10)=0
x=0 or 4x^2-10=0
4x^2-10=0 /4
x^2-10/4=0
x^2-5/2=0
[x-sqrt(5/2)][x+sqrt(5/2)]=0

Now we have to check wchich argument gives the minimum value from x=0, x=sqrt(5/2) and x=-sqrt(5/2).
g(0)=4
g(sqrt(5/2))=25/4-5*5/2+4=4-25/4=-9/4
g(-sqrt(5/2))=-9/4
The answer is sqrt(5/2) and -sqrt(5/2).

On a scale drawing 2 centimeters represent 50 meters. How many centimeters represent 5 meters?
Tanya [424]

Answer:

0.2 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:
Strategy 1:

Make the equation: 5=a•s, where s is the scale factor and "a" is the number of centimeters which 5 meters

First, we need to find the scale factor. 50 meters would be s times greater than 2 centimeters. Find s by first converting meters into centimeters
50m=5000cm. 5000cm=2cm*s, so s = 2500
5m=a*2500, a=0.002 meters, and 0.002 meters is equal to 0.2 centimeters.

Strategy 2:
the ratio of the scale drawing to real life will always stay the same, so
2 cm / 50 meters = x / 5 meters, and cross multiply to get
x cm* 50 m = 2 cm * 5 m, so
x cm * 10 = 2 cm
x cm = 2/10 cm
x cm = 0.2 cm

Strategy 3:
Notice that 5 meters is 10 times smaller than 50 meters, so on the scale drawing, we are looking for a number 10 times smaller than 2 centimeters, so  2/10=0.2 cm
