Answer:

another number =27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X stand for the larger number. The smaller number is therefore X - 13. We can now write the sum of the two numbers as:

X + (X - 13) = 4

X + X - 13 = 41

Gather the X’s and rewrite as,

2X - 13 = 41

Add 13 to both sides to get

2X = 54

Divide both sides by 2 to solve for X,

X = 27

Oat porridge is sold in two sizes of box.

Ugo [173]

Answer:

3 boxes of small porridge

Step-by-step explanation:

625g x 5 = 3125

4125-3125=1000

1000 divided by 350 = 2.8

so there will be 2 full boxes of small porridge and 1 not full box of porridge.

Consider the circle of radius 5 centered at (0, 0). Find an equation of the line tangent to the circle at the point (3, 4) in sl

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

$\displaystyle y= -\frac{3}{4} x + \frac{25}{4}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle of radius $5$ centered at $(0,0)$ is:

$x^{2} + y^{2} = 5^{2}$ .

$x^{2} + y^{2} = 25$ .

Differentiate implicitly with respect to $x$ to find the slope of tangents to this circle.

$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[x^{2} + y^{2}] = \frac{d}{dx}[25]$

$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}(x^{2}) + \frac{d}{dx}(y^{2}) = 0$ .

Apply the power rule and the chain rule. Treat $y$ as a function of $x$ , $f(x)$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}(x^{2}) + \frac{d}{dx}(f(x))^{2} = 0$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}(2x) + \frac{d}{dx}(2f(x)\cdot f^{\prime}(x)) = 0$ .

That is:

$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}(2x) + \frac{d}{dx}\left(2y \cdot \frac{dy}{dx}\right) = 0$ .

Solve this equation for $\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{x}{y}$ .

The slope of the tangent to this circle at point $(3, 4)$ will thus equal

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{3}{4}$ .

Apply the slope-point of a line in a cartesian plane:

$y - y_0 = m(x - x_0)$ , where

$m$ is the gradient of this line, and
$(x_0, y_0)$ are the coordinates of a point on that line.

For the tangent line in this question:

$\displaystyle m = -\frac{3}{4}$ ,
$(x_0, y_0) = (3, 4)$ .

The equation of this tangent line will thus be:

$\displaystyle y - 4 = -\frac{3}{4} (x - 3)$ .

That simplifies to

$\displaystyle y= -\frac{3}{4} x + \frac{25}{4}$ .

Write a quadratic function that has been translated 1<br> units to the right and 3 units down.

vodka [1.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

f(x) = (x - 1) - 3

The -1 is the 1 unit to the right (even though it's being subtracted, it's going to the right because it's embedded with the x)

And the -3 is not embedded with the x, meaning the function will move 3 units down.

I hope this helps :)
