Answer:

1 and 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the smaller number x and the larger number y.

This means 5y+2x=5.

Also, 4y-x=4.

This is a system of equations. There are two main ways two solve this.

Method 1: Substitution

5y+2x=5

4y-x=4

Solve for one of the variables, then substitute it back into one of the equations to solve for the other variable.

I will take 4y-x=4 and solve for x.

4y=4+x

x=4y-4

Then substitute for x in the other equation and solve for y.

5y+2x=5

5y+2(4y-4)=5

5y+8y-8=5

13y=13

y=1

Now we can go back to our equation for x and substitute for y.

x=4y-4

x=4(1)-4=0

y, the larger number, is 1 and

x, the smaller number, is 0

Method 2: Elimination

5y+2x=5

4y-x=4

Change the equations so that the coefficient of one of the variables in an equation is opposite the one in the other equation. Then add the equations and solve for each variable.

If I multiply both sides of the second equation, 4y-x=4, by 2, the coefficient of x will become -2. In the first equation, the coefficient is 2, so they will become opposites.

4y-x=4

becomes

8y-2x=8

Now we have 5y+2x=5 and 8y-2x=8.

Add the sides of both equations to cancel the x values.

5y+2x+8y-2x=5+8

13y=13

y=1

like last time, we can substitute for y in any of the original equations to get x.

5y+2x=5

5(1)+2x=5

5+2x=5

2x=0

x=0

y, the larger number, is 1 and

x, the smaller number, is 0

Teresa is factoring this polynomial by grouping. Which common factors should be used in the next step of factoring? 10x3 3x2−20x
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

−2=−2x^3

Step-by-step explanation:

10x3= 3x2−20x−6=(10x3⋅(3x2))(−20x−6)=−600x6−180x5x2=−600x6−180x5−2x⋅(2x2)=−4x3−2x⋅x2=−2x^3

−2=−2x3

2x^2=−2x^3

−2=−2x^3

Given: ∆ABC, m∠C = 90° CB = 8, m∠B = 38º Find the area of a circumscribed circle. Find the area of the inscribed circle.
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Circumscribed circle: Around 80.95

Inscribed circle: Around 3.298

Step-by-step explanation:

Since C is a right angle, when the circle is circumscribed it will be an inscribed angle with a corresponding arc length of 2*90=180 degrees. This means that AB is the diameter of the circle. Since the cosine of an angle in a right triangle is equivalent to the length of the adjacent side divided by the length of the hypotenuse:

\cos 38= \dfrac{8}{AB} \\\\\\AB=\dfrac{8}{\cos 38}\approx 10.152

To find the area of the circumscribed circle:

r=\dfrac{AB}{2}\approx 5.076 \\\\\\A=\pi r^2\approx 80.95

To find the area of the inscribed circle, you need the length of AC, which you can find with the Pythagorean Theorem:

AC=\sqrt{10.152^2-8^2}\approx 6.25

The area of the triangle is:

A=\dfrac{bh}{2}=\dfrac{8\cdot 6.25}{2}=25

The semiperimeter of the triangle is:

\dfrac{10.152+6.25+8}{2}\approx 24.4

The radius of the circle is therefore \dfrac{25}{24.4}\approx 1.025

The area of the inscribed circle then is \pi\cdot (1.025)^2\approx 3.298.

Hope this helps!
