2/x + 3/y = 13 ; 5/x - 4/y = -2​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Tomtit [17]2 years ago
5 0

Given that

(2/x)+(3/y) = 13--------(1)

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

Put 1/x = a and 1/y = b then

2a + 3b = 13 ----------(3)

On multiplying with 5 then

10a +15 b = 65 -------(4)

and

5a -4b= -2 ----------(5)

On multiplying with 2 then

10 a - 8b = -4 -------(6)

On Subtracting (6) from (4) then

10a + 15b = 65

10a - 8b = -4

(-)

_____________

0 + 23 b = 69

______________

⇛ 23b = 69

⇛ b = 69/23

⇛ b =3

On Substituting the value of b in (5)

5a -4b= -2

⇛ 5a -4(3) = -2

⇛ 5a -12 = -2

⇛ 5a = -2+12

⇛ 5a = 10

⇛ a = 10/5

⇛ a = 2

Now we have

a = 2

⇛1/x = 2

⇛ x = 1/2

and

b = 3

⇛1/y = 3

⇛ y = 1/3

<u>Answer :-</u>The solution for the given problem is (1/2,1/3)

<u>Check</u>: If x = 1/2 and y = 1/3 then

LHS = (2/x)+(3/y)

= 2/(1/2)+3/(1/3)

= (2×2)+(3×3)

= 4+9

= 13

= RHS

LHS=RHS is true

and

LHS=(5/x)-(4/y)

⇛ 5/(1/2)- 4/(1/3)

⇛(5×2)-(4×3)

⇛ 10-12

⇛ -2

⇛RHS

LHS = RHS is true

A water balloon is 5 feet above the ground when Sally launches it into the air. Use the quadratic equation 0 = -t2 + 4t + 5 to f
Alborosie

Answer:

2-sqrt14/2, 2+sqrt13/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

What you do is you have to do the quadratic equation like it says in the problem.

x=  −b± sqrtb^2 −4ac /2a .

a=-2, b=4, c=5.

x=-4±sqrt(4)^2-4(-2)(5)/2(-2).

x=-4±sqrt16+40/-4.

x=-4±2sqrt14/-2.

2-sqrt14/2, 2+sqrt13/2. is your answer once you have done everything.

C(x) = -5x^2+x<br> Find c(4)
Alchen [17]

Answer:

c(4) = -76

Step-by-step explanation:

c(x) x=4 so plug 4 in for x

-5(4)² + (4)

Do parentheses first so... 4² = 16

-5(16) + 4

-5(16) = -80

-80+4 = -76

c(4) = -76
