Answer: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be a and b.

Therefore,

a - b = 3 ....... i

a + b = 13 ....... ii

From equation I, a = 3 + b

Put a = 3+b into equation ii

a + b = 13

3 + b + b = 13

3 + 2b = 13

2b = 13 - 3

2b = 10

b = 10/2

b = 5

Since a = 3 + b

a = 3 + 5

a = 8

The product of the numbers will be:

= 8 × 5

= 40

Find an equation for the line that passes through the points (-2,-6) and (6,-4)

JulsSmile [24]

Slope of line
m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
=(-4--6)/(6--2)
=2/8
=1/4

Line in two point form
(y-y1)=m(x-x1)
y--2=(1/4)(x-6)
y+2=(1/4)(x-6)
simplify
4(y+2)=x-6 =>
x-4y-14=0
Alternatively, use the slope intercept form:
y--2=(1/4)(x-6) =>
y=(1/4)x - 3/2-2 =>
y=(1/4)x -7/2

There were 3 apple, 1 mixed fruit, 2 grape, and 4 tropical fruit juice boxes in the cooler at the picnic. What is the probabilit

goldenfox [79]

There are 10 juice boxes in the cooler altogether.
2 of them are grape.

The first time Jill pulls one out with her eyes closed,
the probability that it's a grape is

2 / 10 .

If that try is successful, then there are 9 boxes left in the cooler,
and one of them is grape.

If she already has one grape, and reaches in again with her eyes
closed, the probability of pulling out the second grape is

1 / 9 .

The probability of both events happening in two tries is

(2/10) x (1/9) = 2/90 = 1/45 = (2 and 2/9) percent .

Consider the inverse function. which conclusions can be drawn about f(x) = x2 2? select three options.

Elodia [21]

The function has a y-intercept at (0, 2). Then the correct options are A, B, and E.

The complete question is attached below.

<h3>What is the maximum and minimum value of the function?</h3>

The condition for the maximum will be

f"(x) < 0

The condition for the minimum will be

f"(x) > 0

Consider the inverse function.

f⁻¹(x) = -√(x - 2)

Then the conclusion of the function f(x) = x² + 2 will be

Differentiate the function, then we have

f ' (x) = 2x

Again differentiate, then we have

f" (x) = 2

f" (x) > 0

Then the function has a minimum value at (0, 2)

The function has a y-intercept at (0, 2)

Then the correct options are A, B, and E.

More about the maximum and minimum value of the function link is given below.
