Answer:

larger number = 16

smaller number = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

let the larger number = x

let the smaller number = y

Difference between the two numbers is 4:

x - y = 4

The larger number is 8 less than twice the smaller number

x = 2y - 8

Rewrite x - y = 4 to make x the subject:

x = 4 + y

Substitute x = 4 + y  into  x = 2y - 8 and solve for y:

4 + y = 2y - 8

4 + 8 = 2y - y

12 = y

Now substitute the found value for y into x - y = 4 and solve for x:

x - 12 = 4

x = 4 + 12 = 16

If f(x) = integral of 1/ (sqrt of t^3 +2)dt, then f'1 = ?
mihalych1998 [28]
Differentiating an integral removes the integral.

f(x) = integral of dt/sqrt(t^3 + 2)
f'(x) = 1/sqrt(x^3 + 2)
f'(1) = 1/sqrt(1^3 + 2)
f'(1) = 1/sqrt(3) = sqrt(3)/3.

Respuesta de (-0.5)²
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

(-0.5)^2

we know that

-0.5=-\frac{1}{2}

substitute

(-\frac{1}{2})^2=(-\frac{1}{2})(-\frac{1}{2})

Remember that

(-1)(-1)=1\\(-1)(1)=(-1)

so

(-\frac{1}{2})(-\frac{1}{2})=\frac{1}{4}=0.25
