Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (7, -4) and (-1,3), first in point-slope form, and then in

Mathematics

Step-by-step explanation:

first we need to calculate the slope, which is needed in both equation forms.

the slope is the ratio "y coordinate change / x coordinate change" when going from one point on the line to another.

I always prefer to go from left to right (but it works exactly the same way in the opposite direction), so I go from (-1, 3) to (7, -4).

x changes by +8 (from -1 to +7).

y changes by -7 (from +3 to -4).

so, the slope is -7/+8 = -7/8

when (7, -4) is used (I think you have a typo in the problem description up there), the point-slope form is

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

with (x1, y1) being the point coordinates, and m bring the slope

y - -4 = -7/8 × (x - 7)

or simplified

y + 4 = -7/8(x - 7)

the slope-intercept form is

y = mx + n

m being the slope, n being the y-intercept (y value for x=0).

we know already

y = -7/8 x + n

we also use the coordinates of a point here to solve for n :

-4 = -7/8 × 7 + n = -49/8 + n

-32/8 = -49/8 + n

17/8 = n

so, the full equation is

y = -7/8 x + 17/8

Manuel bought 2kg of jelly beans and 2kg of gummy worms for a total of $26. Danny bought 2kg of jelly beans and 3kg of gummy wor
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Jelly beans: $6 for 1 kg

Gummy worms: $7 for 1 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we need to find the cost of 1kg of jelly beans and gummy worms.

To do this, make equations for both scenarios and solve:

2j + 2g = 26

2j + 3g = 33

Turn the bottom equation negative, as we will first solve for gummy worms (g).

2j + 2g = 26

-2j - 3g = -33

Solve:

-g = -7

Divide both sides by -1.

g = 7

We now know that gummy worms cost $7 for 1 kg

To solve for jellybeans (j), plug in 7 to g in one of the equations and solve:

2j + 2(7) = 26

2j + 14 = 26

Subtract 14 from both sides.

2j = 12

Divide both sides by 2.

j = 6

Jellybeans cost $6 for 1 kg.

Check answer by plugging in values to one of the equations:

2(6) + 2(7) = 26

12 + 14 = 26

26 = 26

34 less than the product of 14 and an unknown number is 78
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
34 less than (-34) the product of (multiply) 14 (14) and an unknown (x) is (=) 78 (78)

-34+14 times x=78
14 times x=14x
14x-34=78
add 34 to both sides
14x=112
divide both sdies by 14
x=8
the number is 8

Solve y'' + 10y' + 25y = 0, y(0) = -2, y'(0) = 11 y(t) = Preview
svetlana [45]

Answer:  The required solution is

y=(-2+t)e^{-5t}.

Step-by-step explanation:   We are given to solve the following differential equation :

y^{\prime\prime}+10y^\prime+25y=0,~~~~~~~y(0)=-2,~~y^\prime(0)=11~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

Let us consider that

y=e^{mt} be an auxiliary solution of equation (i).

Then, we have

y^prime=me^{mt},~~~~~y^{\prime\prime}=m^2e^{mt}.

Substituting these values in equation (i), we get

m^2e^{mt}+10me^{mt}+25e^{mt}=0\\\\\Rightarrow (m^2+10y+25)e^{mt}=0\\\\\Rightarrow m^2+10m+25=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{since }e^{mt}\neq0]\\\\\Rightarrow m^2+2\times m\times5+5^2=0\\\\\Rightarrow (m+5)^2=0\\\\\Rightarrow m=-5,-5.

So, the general solution of the given equation is

y(t)=(A+Bt)e^{-5t}.

Differentiating with respect to t, we get

y^\prime(t)=-5e^{-5t}(A+Bt)+Be^{-5t}.

According to the given conditions, we have

y(0)=-2\\\\\Rightarrow A=-2

and

y^\prime(0)=11\\\\\Rightarrow -5(A+B\times0)+B=11\\\\\Rightarrow -5A+B=11\\\\\Rightarrow (-5)\times(-2)+B=11\\\\\Rightarrow 10+B=11\\\\\Rightarrow B=11-10\\\\\Rightarrow B=1.

Thus, the required solution is

y(t)=(-2+1\times t)e^{-5t}\\\\\Rightarrow y(t)=(-2+t)e^{-5t}.
