Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution of the given system. (-2,-4) {y=1/2x -3, y=-2x-8}
kompoz [17]

Answer:

The ordered pair (-2,\, -4) is indeed a solution to the system:

\left\lbrace\begin{aligned} & y = \frac{1}{2}\, x - 3 \\ & y = -2\, x - 8\end{aligned}\right..

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a system of equations about variables x and y. An ordered pair (x_{0},\, y_{0}) (where x_{0} and y_{0} are constant) is a solution to that system if and only if all equations in that system hold after substituting in x = x_{0} and y = y_{0}.

For the system in this question, (-2,\, -4) would be a solution only if both equations in the system hold after replacing all x in equations of the system with (-2) and all y with (-4).

The \texttt{LHS} of the equation y = (1/2)\, x - 3 would become (-4). The \texttt{RHS} of that equation would become (1/2) \, (-2) - 3. The two sides are indeed equal.

Similarly, the \texttt{LHS} of the equation y = -2\, x - 8 would become (-4). The \texttt{RHS} of that equation would become (-2)\, (-2) - 8. The two sides are indeed equal.

Thus, x = (-2) and y = (-4) simultaneously satisfy both equations of the given system. Therefore, the ordered pair (-2,\, -4) would indeed be a solution to that system.

Six identical squares are cut from the corners and edges of an 80 cm by 50 cm cardboard rectangle. the remaining piece is folded
Anna11 [10]
Check the picture.

let the length of a side of each of the squares removed be x.

The box formed will have dimensions: 80-2x, 50-2x, x(the height)

So the volume can be expressed as a function of x as follows:

f(x)=(80-2x)(50-2x)x=[4000-160x-100x+4 x^{2} ]x=(4 x^{2}-260x+4000)x

so f(x)=4 x^{3}-260x^{2}+4000x

the solutions of f'(x)=0 gives the inflection points, so the candidates for maxima points,

f'(x)=12x^{2}-520 x +4000=0

solving the quadratic equation, either by a calculator, graphing software, or by other algebraic methods as the discriminant formula, we find the solutions

x=10 and x=33.333

plug in f(x) these values to see which greater:

f(10)=(80-20)(50-20)10=60*30*10=18000 cm cubed

f(33.333)=(80-66.666)(50-66.666)33.333= which is negative because (50-66.666)<0



Answer: 18000 cm cubed

Well, Your best answer will be is 35.
Here's a Explain.
W-5=0
W=5 That's for the width.
L=3*5-8
L=15-8=7 And, That's for the length.
Here's proof.
35=7*5
35=35

Write the ratio as a fraction in simplest form.<br><br> 10.8 seconds : 36 feet <br><br> (Show work)
vodka [1.7K]

Answer: Ratio as a fraction in simplest form is :

\frac{27}{1}=27

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

10.8 seconds : 36 feet

As we know that

1\ second=\frac{1}{60}\ mile\\\\1\ second=90\ feet

So, we use it :

10.8 seconds : 36 feet

=10.8\times 90\ feet:36\ feet\\\\=972:36\\\\=27:1

Hence, Ratio as a fraction in simplest form is :

\frac{27}{1}=27
