Let x = 1st number and y = 2nd number
Using the sentences:
The sum of two numbers is 51:  x + y = 51
one fourth of one number exceeds one fifth of another number by 6:
(1/4)x > (1/5)y + 6

This means y is the smaller number.
From x + y = 51 → x = 51 - y
Plug into the inequality
(1/4)(51 - y) > (1/5) y + 6
Multiply each side by 20
5(51 - y) > 4y + 120
251 - 5y > 4y + 120 
-9y > -131
y < \frac{131}{9}

Complete the equation of the line through (-9,-9) and (-6,0)
Rudik [331]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It is the slope of the line

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis.

According to the data of the statement we have the following points:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (- 9, -9)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (- 6,0)

We found the slope:

m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {0 - (- 9)} {- 6 - (- 9)} = \frac { 9} {- 6 + 9} = \frac {9} {3} = 3

Thus, the equation is of the form:

y = 3x + b

We substitute one of the points and find b:

0 = 3 (-6) + b\\0 = -18 + b\\b = 18

Finally, the equation is:

y = 3x + 18

Answer:

y = 3x + 18

How to factor y^3 +2y^2 + 2y + 1
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P(y) = y³ + 2y² + 2y + 1  

P(-1) = (-1)³ + 2*(-1)² + 2*(-1) + 1

      = -1 + 2 - 2 + 1

      = 0

As, P(-1) = 0, (y + 1) is a factor.

  Use synthetic division or remainder theorem.

-1        1          2           2           1

       <u>    0        -1            -1         -1        </u>

           1          1            1            0

quotient = y² + y + 1

y³ + 2y² + 2y + 1  = ( y + 1) (y² + y + 1)

How does h
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

if its asking for:

\int\limits^2_7 {16t} \, dt

then it's

16(2) - 16(7) = 32 - 112 = -80
