Let x be larger integer so x-3 is the smaller
so x^2+ x-3 = 87
x^2 +x -90=0 and factor
(x-9)(x+10)=0
x=9 or x=-10 but x must be positive
so x=9 and smaller number is 6

Solve the equation. And write all solutions in general form.
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

x = pi/2 + 2 pi n                            x = pi + 2 pi n   where n is an integer

x = 5pi /3 + 2 pi n                      

Step-by-step explanation:

8 cos^2 x + 4 cos x-4 = 0

Divide by 4

2 cos^2 x +  cos x-1 = 0

Let u = cos x

2 u^2 +u -1 =0

Factor

(2u -1) ( u+1) = 0

Using the zero product property

2u-1 =0    u+1 =0

u = 1/2      u = -1

Substitute cosx for u

cos x = 1/2    cos x = -1

Take the inverse cos on each side

cos ^-1(cos x) = cos ^-1(1/2)   cos ^-1( cos x) =cos ^-1( -1)

x = pi/2 + 2 pi n                            x = pi + 2 pi n   where n is an integer

x = 5pi /3 + 2 pi n

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points of (0,-4) and (-4,6)
dusya [7]

Answer:

y = -5/2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

(0,-4) and (-4,6)

Slope:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(6+4)/(-4-0)

m=10/-4

m= -5/2

Slope-intercept:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 4 = -5/2(x - 0)

y + 4 = -5/2x

y = -5/2x - 4

What is the steepest line possible? What is the slope?
Paraphin [41]
The steepest line possible is a vertical line. Its slope is bigger than any
possible number you can think of, because it can change its height by
any amount in zero time.  Its slope is 'undefined', meaning that there's
no number that can describe it.  Some people would say it's 'infinity',
but that's not a number.
