Mathematics

Nady [450]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Mass of brown egg = 3.5 grams

Mass of white egg = 2 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Mass of brown eggs = x

Mass of white eggs = y

3y + 2x = 13 (1)

5y + 4x = 24 (2)

Multiply (1) by 5 and (2) by 3 to eliminate y

15y + 10x = 65 (3)

15y + 12x = 72 (4)

Subtract (3) from (4)

12x - 10x = 72 - 65

2x = 7

x = 7/2

x = 3.5

Substitute x = 3.5 into (1)

3y + 2x = 13 (1)

3y + 2(3.5) = 13

3y + 7 = 13

3y = 13 - 7

3y = 6

y = 6/3

y = 2

Mass of brown egg = 3.5 grams

Mass of white egg = 2 grams

The function f(x) = x3 – 8x2 + x + 42 has zeros located at 7, –2, 3. Verify the zeros of f(x) and explain how you verified them.
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At first you need to turn roots into factors and then multiply the

then you have

f(x) = a(x + 2)(x -5)^2

f(x) = a(x + 2)(x^2 - 10x + 25)

f(x) = a(x^3 - 8x^2 + 5x + 50)

You can use either synthetical or the factor

theorem

f(-2) = a(-8 - 8(4) + 5(-2) + 50) = a(0) = 0.. check, f

=-2

€(5) = a(125 - 8(25) + 5(5) + 50) = a(0) = 0 check, f

= 5 works

Then divide it to the the second multi

And you should get x^2 - 3x - 10 = (x - 5)(x + 2),

where the other two zeros are X =5 , and x=-2

Two angles have a supplementary relationship. The measure of one angle is 14°. What is the measure of the second angle?
denis23 [38]

Answer:

166°

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles have a sum of 180 degrees

That being said, we can find the measure of the missing angle by subtracting the measure of the given angle by 180

(the giving angle having a measure of 14°)

so missing angle = 180 - 14

180 - 14 = 166

Hence, the measure of the second angle 166°

I need to find the length of MK.
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Here,

JM=MK

so,

7x+5 = 8x

7x + 5 = 8x \\ ⇒ 5 = 8x - 7x \\  ⇒5 = x

. ° . JM = 7x+5 = 7×5+5 = 40

. ° . MK = 8x = 8×5 = 40

Hence,

<h3>MK = 40</h3>
