Let t and p represent the numbers of turtles and pelicans, respectively.
... 2p + 4t = 114 . . . . . . . the number of legs is 114
... p + t = 34 . . . . . . . . . the number of animals is 34
Divide the first equation by 2 and subtract the second.
... (2p +4t)/2 - (p +t) = (114)/2 - 34
... t = 23 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
Then p = 34 - t = 11
There are 11 pelicans and 23 turtles.
_____
You can get to the same answer by considering the number of legs you would have if all the animals were pelicans. That would be 34*2 = 68. The is 46 fewer legs than there actually are. Each turtle that replaces one of those 34 pelicans adds 2 legs to the total, so to add 46 legs, we must replace 46/2 = 23 pelicans with turtles. That is, there are 23 turtles and 11 pelicans.
Answer:
y=2, the equation of a line which is perpendicular to the line 3x+5=0
A(-5/3,2) the foot of the perpendicular from B to the line
Step-by-step explanation:
d1 : 3x+5=0, so 3x=-5, x=-5/3
y=2, the equation of a line which is perpendicular to the line 3x+5=0
A(-5/3,2) the foot of the perpendicular from B to the line
Answer:
$28.84
Step-by-step explanation:
That's for the first one that I found, the two other problems I don't know yet.
To generate the equation we set up the factors
(x+3) * (x-1) * (x-2) which equals
x^2 + 2x -3 * (x-2)
x^3 +2x^2 -3x -2x^2 -4x +6 equals
x^3 -3x -4x +6 which equals
x^3 -7x +6
