One number is 3 more than another. The difference between their square is 63. What are the numbers?

1 answer:

7 0

X = y + 3
x^2 - y^2 = 63

(y + 3)^2 - y^2 = 63
(y + 3)(y + 3) - y^2 = 63
y^2 + 6y + 9 - y^2 = 63
6y + 9 = 63
6y = 54
y = 54/6
y = 9

x = y + 3
x = 9 + 3
x = 12

check...
x^2 - y^2 = 63 x = y + 3
12^2 - 9^2 = 63 12 = 9 + 3
144 - 81 = 63 12 = 12 (correct)
63 = 63 (correct)

ur 2 numbers are 9 and 12

Determine the equation of a line that passrs through the point (4,-1) and also parallel to y=3x+4

nexus9112 [7]

First, plug in the given point into y=mx +b to find b (the y-intercept of the line). Use the same slope (m) in the equation since parallel lines have the same slope (3 in this case).

-1 = 3(4) +b
-1 = 12 + b Subtract 12 to both sides.
-13 = b

Now, put your m and b into y=mx+b.

The final answer/equation of your line is:

y=3x -13

The length of the hypothenuse or the value of x is equal to 19.53

Data;

hypothenuse = x
adjacent = 11.2
opposite = 16

<h3>Pythagoras's Theorem</h3>

To solve this problem, we have to use Pythagoras's theorem which is used to find the missing side in a right angle triangle if we have at least two sides.

The formula for this is

$x^2 = y^2 + z^2\\$
