Answer:

<em>The student completed 13 courses worth 3 credits</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

Let's assign the following variables:

x = number of courses worth 3 credits

y = number of courses worth 4 credits

Some student completed 18 courses thus:

x + y = 18      [1]

The student earned a total of 59 credits:

3x + 4y = 59       [2]

From [1]:

y = 18 - x

Substituting in [2]:

3x + 4(18 - x) = 59

Operating:

3x + 72 - 4x = 59

Simplifying:

-x = 59 - 72 = -13

x = 13

The student completed 13 courses worth 3 credits

Step-by-step explanation:

Mechanical advantage can be defined using distances:

Mechanical advantage = input distance / output distance

Or it can be defined using forces:

Mechanical advantage = output force / input force

Solving for the output force:

Output force = mechanical advantage × input force

Plugging in values:

Output force = 2.2 × 202 N

Output force = 444.4 N

Find the value of a and of b for which<br>(a) the solution of x2 + ax &lt; b is<br>-2&lt;x &lt; 4​
KengaRu [80]

Answer: a = -2

b = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

x^{2} +ax

re - writing the equation , we have

x^{2} +ax-b

we need to find the value of a and b for which -2<x < 4 , this means that the roots of the quadratic equation are -2<x < 4.

The formula for finding the quadratic equation when the roots are known is :

x^{2} - sum of roots(x) + product of root = 0

sum of roots = -2 + 4 = 2

product of roots = -2 x 4 = -8

substituting into the formula , we have:

x^{2} -2x-8=0 , which could be written in inequality form as

x^{2} -2x-8

comparing with x^{2} +ax-b , it means that :

a = -2

b = 8
