Find two integers whose sum is 10 and product is 9

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

let the numbers be x and y then by given conditions:

x + y = 10 ….. eq 1

and

xy = 9….. eq 2

from eq 2. y = 9/x

put this in eq. 1

x + 9/x = 10

x + 9= 10x

x = 1

now,

xy = 9put value of x

y = 9

Find the missing side lengths. Leave your answer as radicals in simplest form.

Ronch [10]

Answer:

Hence x = y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

Hypotenuse = 2√2

Opposite = x

theta = 45

Sin theta = opp/hyp

Sin 45 =x/2√2

1/√2 = x/2√2

x = 2√2 * 1/√2

x = 2

To get y we will use the pythagoras theorem;

(2√2)² = x² +y²

(2√2)² = 2²+y²

8 = 4 + y²

y² = 8-4

y² = 4

y = √4

y = 2

Hence x = y = 2

The function f(x) = −x^2 − 5x + 50 shows the relationship between the vertical distance of a diver from a pool's surface f(x), i

pychu [463]

Set the function to equal zero:

$-x^2 - 5x + 50 = 0$

To find the zeros, or solutions, to this problem, we will use the quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Plug the values into the equation:

$a = -1, b = -5, c = 50$

$x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{-5^2-4(-1)(50)}}{2(-1)}$

$x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25+200}}{-2}$

$x=\frac{5\pm15}{-2}$

Solve for both plus and minus:

$\frac{5 + 15}{-2} = \frac{20}{-2} = -10$

$\frac{5 - 15}{-2} = \frac{-10}{-2} = 5$

$x = -10, x = 5$

The question cannot use a negative value for x, as the diver cannot dive a negative distance from the board.

The answer is '<span>x = 5; the diver hits the water 5 feet away horizontally from the board', because x represents the horizontal distance away from the board.</span>
