let x represent one number and let y represent the other number. use the given conditions to write a system of equations. solve
kiruha [24]

Answer:

  (x, y) = (8, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant equations are ...

  3x -y = 22

  x +2y = 12

__

We can eliminate y by adding twice the first equation to the second.

  2(3x -y) +(x +2y) = 2(22) +(12)

  7x = 56

  x = 8

Substituting into the first equation gives ...

  3(8) -y = 22

  y = 24 -22 = 2

The first number is 8; the second number is 2.

A firecracker reaches a height of h feet before it bursts. The height h is modeled by h = −16t2 + vt + c, where v is the initial
daser333 [38]

General Idea:

If we have a quadratic function of the form f(x)=ax^{2} +bx+c , then the function will attain its maximum value only if a < 0 & its maximum value will be at x=-\frac{b}{2a} .

Applying the concept:

The height h is modeled by h = −16t^2 + vt + c, where v is the initial velocity, and c is the beginning height of the firecracker above the ground. The firecracker is placed on the roof of a building of height 15 feet and is fired at an initial velocity of 100 feet per second. Substituting 15 for c and 100 for v, we get the function as h=-16t^2+100t+15.

Comparing the function f(x)=ax^{2} +bx+c with the given function h=-16t^{2} +100t+15, we get a = -16, b = 100 and c=15.

The maximum height of the soccer ball will occur at t=\frac{-b}{2a}=\frac{-100}{2(-16)} = \frac{-100}{-32}=3.125 seconds

The maximum height is found by substituting t=3.125 in the function as below:

h=-16(3.125)^2+100(3.125)+15=171.25 feet

Conclusion:

<u>Yes !</u> The firecracker reaches a height of 100 feet before it bursts.

Please help, I have redone this problem a million times and i cant get it right. Time sensitive!!
Advocard [28]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

This should be easy one unless you're making silly mistake like forgetting to take reciprocal of \frac{3}{2x}

lets do it:

\frac{x+2}{x-1} ÷ \frac{3}{2x} first: we take the reciprocal of 3/2x now its

\frac{x+2}{x-1} * \frac{2x}{3} now just multiply top and bottom by using distributive method

\frac{2x^2 +4x}{3x-3} this is your answer.

3. A hive of bees contains 27 bees when it is first discovered. After 3 days, there are 36 bees. It is determined that the popul
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

360

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to Note

When the beehive was discovered, there were 27 bees

After 3 days, the numbers of bee increased to 36

Progression Type : Exponential (also knows as geometry)

Number of bees after 30 days is unknown

First we need to get the rate of progression (increment or decrement) between the first day and the third day it was discovered

From the question, we have

T1 = 27 ------------- T1 represents number of bees initiallly (1st term)

T2 = 36 ------------- T2 represents 2nd term (number of bees after 3days)

T3 represents 3rd term (after additional 3 days; i.e. 6 days)

T4 represents 4th term (after 12 days)

If you follow this progression, you'll noticed that

T10 = Number of bees on the 30th day

Since, it's an exponential progression; we have to divide to get the rate of progression

R = 36/27 ------------ R represents Rate of progress (also known as common radius)

R = 4/3

Using this progression formula

Tn = aR^(n-1)

Where a = T1 = 1st term = 27

R = Rate of progression = 4/3

n = Number of term = 10

Substituting these values in the progression formula

T10 = 27 * (4/3) ^(10-1)

T10 = 27 * (4/3)^9

T10 = 27 * 262144/19683

T10 = 7077888/19683

T10 = 359.594

T10 = 360 (approximated)

Which A regular octagon rotates 360° about its center. How many times does the image of the octagon coincide with the preimage d
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The word you are looking for is rotational symmetry and for that an octagon has orders of 8 (that is what you call the times it overlaps) I do not know what you mean on the swcong question

Step-by-step explanation:

A way of finding out how many orders a shape has of rotational symmetry is by getting some tracing paper and tracing the shape. You then put your pencil on the center of the shape and count how many time the shape overlaps
