Answer:

41.5

23.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by calling the two numbers we are looking for x and y.

The sum of x and y is 65. In other words, x plus y equals 65 and can be written as equation A:

x + y = 65

The difference between x and y is -18. In other words, x minus y equals -18 and can be written as equation B:

x - y = -18

Now solve equation B for x to get the revised equation B:

x = -18 + y

Then substitute x in equation A from the revised equation B and then solve for y:

x + y = 65

-18+y+y=65

-18 + 2y = 65

2y = 83

y = 41.5

Now we know y is 41.5. Which means that we can substitute y for 41.5 in equation A and solve for x:

x + y = 65

x + 41.5= 65

X = 23.5

DIfference : 23.5 - 41.5 = 18

Sum: 41.5 +23.5 = 65

Hence, The two number are 23.5 and 41.5

Given f of x is equal to the quantity 8x plus 1 end quantity divided by the quantity 2x minus 9 end quantity, what is the end be
MaRussiya [10]

Using limits, it is found that the end behavior of the function is given as follows:

As x → -∞, f(x) → 4; as x → ∞, f(x) → 4.

<h3>How to find the end behavior of a function f(x)?</h3>

The end behavior of a function f(x) is given by the limit of f(x) as x goes to infinity.

In this problem, the function is:

f(x) = \frac{8x - 1}{2x - 9}

Considering that x goes to infinity, for the limits, we consider only the terms with the highest exponents in the numerator and denominator, hence:

  • \lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} \frac{8x}{2x} = \lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} 4 = 4.
  • \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{8x}{2x} = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} 4 = 4.

Hence the correct statement is:

As x → -∞, f(x) → 4; as x → ∞, f(x) → 4.
