Answer:

(5, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute y from the first equation into the second equation:

-4x - 6(-2x + 6) = 4

Simplify:

-4x + 12x - 36 = 4

8x = 40

x = 5

The only answer choice where x = 5 is (5, -4).

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf (5, -4)}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the two equations:

$y= -2x+6 \\-4x-6y=4$

We are asked to solve by substitution. Since we know that y is equal to -2x+6, so we can substitute the expression in for y in the second equation.

$-4x-6y=4$

$-4x-6(-2x+6)=4$

Now, solve for x by isolating the variable on one side of the equation.

First, distribute the -6 into the expression. Multiply each term in the parentheses by -6.

$-4x+ (-6*-2x)+(-6*6)=4$

$-4x+12x+(-6*6)=4$

$-4x+12x-36=4$

Combine like terms. There are 2 x terms that can be added.

$(-4x+12x)-36=4$

$8x-36=4$

36 is being subtracted from 8x. The inverse of subtraction is addition, so add 36 to both sides of the equation.

$8x-36+36=4+36$

$8x=40$

x is being multiplied by 8. The inverse of multiplication is division, so divide both sides by 8.

$\frac{8x}{8} =\frac{40}{8}$

$x=5$

x is known, so we can find y using the first equation.

$y=-2x+6$

x is equal to 5, so substitute the value in.

$y=-2(5)+6$

Multiply first.

$y=-10+6$

Add.

$y=-4$

A solution is written as (x,y). So, the solution to this equation is (5, -4).

Use green's theorem to compute the area inside the ellipse x252+y2172=1. use the fact that the area can be written as ∬ddxdy=12∫

Pavel [41]

The area of the ellipse $E$ is given by

$\displaystyle\iint_E\mathrm dA=\iint_E\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy$

To use Green's theorem, which says

$\displaystyle\int_{\partial E}L\,\mathrm dx+M\,\mathrm dy=\iint_E\left(\frac{\partial M}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial L}{\partial y}\right)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy$

( $\partial E$ denotes the boundary of $E$ ), we want to find $M(x,y)$ and $L(x,y)$ such that

$\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial y}=1$

and then we would simply compute the line integral. As the hint suggests, we can pick

$\begin{cases}M(x,y)=\dfrac x2\\\\L(x,y)=-\dfrac y2\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial x}=\dfrac12\\\\\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial y}=-\dfrac12\end{cases}\implies\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial y}=1$

The line integral is then

$\displaystyle\frac12\int_{\partial E}-y\,\mathrm dx+x\,\mathrm dy$

We parameterize the boundary by

$\begin{cases}x(t)=5\cos t\\y(t)=17\sin t\end{cases}$

with $0\le t\le2\pi$ . Then the integral is

$\displaystyle\frac12\int_0^{2\pi}(-17\sin t(-5\sin t)+5\cos t(17\cos t))\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\frac{85}2\int_0^{2\pi}\sin^2t+\cos^2t\,\mathrm dt=\frac{85}2\int_0^{2\pi}\mathrm dt=85\pi$

Notice that $x^{2/3}+y^{2/3}=4^{2/3}$ kind of resembles the equation for a circle with radius 4, $x^2+y^2=4^2$ . We can change coordinates to what you might call "pseudo-polar":
