Answer:
The numbers are
and
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> the smaller positive real number
y -----> the larger positive real number
we know that
A positive real number is 2 less than another
so

----> equation A
When 4 times the larger is added to the square of the smaller, the result is 49
so
----> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B

solve for x

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form
is equal to
in this problem we have

so
substitute in the formula
so
The positive real number is
Find the value of y

Answer:
-7.2
Step-by-step explanation:
-3 (1.2) 2= -3×1.2×2
-3×1.2×2
-3.6×2
-7.2
-3 (1.2) 2= -7.2
The sunflower is 2.387 meters tall.
The question is asking: which rounding will result in the greatest value?
To see, we need to round 2.387 to meter, tenth meter, and hundredth meter.
Meter - 2 meters
Tenth meter - 2.4 meters
Hundredth meter - 2.39 meters
As you see, rounding to the tenth meter gives the greatest value of 2.4. Therefore, Bahir should use a decimal rounded to the tenth meter.
