If x = 1 and y = 2 is a solution to the simultaneous equation ax + by = 2 and bx + a^(2)y = 10, find the possible values of a and b.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a = - 2, [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex] , b = 2, - [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x = 1, y = 2 is a solution to the equations , then substitute these values into the 2 equations and solve for a and b

a + 2b = 2 → (1)

b + 2a² = 10 → (2)

In (1) subtract 2b from both sides

a = 2 - 2b → (3)

Substitute a = 2 - 2b into (2)

b + 2(2 - 2b)² = 10 ← expand parenthesis using FOIL

b + 2(4 - 8b + 4b²) = 10 ( simplify left side )

b + 8 - 16b + 8b² = 10 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

8b² - 15b - 2 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the b² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the b- term

product = 8 × - 2 = - 16 and sum = - 15

The factors are - 16 and + 1

Use these factors to split the b- term

8b² - 16b + b - 2 = 0 ( factor first/second and third/fourth terms )

8b(b - 2) + 1(b - 2) = 0 ← factor out (b - 2) from each term

(b - 2)(8b + 1) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for b

b - 2 = 0 ⇒ b = 2

8b + 1 = 0 ⇒ 8b = - 1 ⇒ b = - [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Substitute these values into (3) and evaluate for a

b = 2 ⇒ a = 2 - 2(2) = 2 - 4 = - 2

b = - [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] ⇒ a = 2 - 2(- [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] ) = 2 + [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = 2 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex]

Answer 2

The possible values of a and b are 8, -3 or 9/4 , -1/8 respectively.

What is an equation ?

An equation is a combination of different variables, in which two mathematical expressions are equal to each other.

The given equations are,

ax + by = 2            (1)

and bx + a²y = 10        (2)

Also, x = 1 and y = 2 are the solution of the equation,

Substitute x = 1 and y = 2in equation (1),

a(1) + b(2) = 2

a + 2b = 2       (3)

Further substitute x = 1 and y = 2 in equation (2),

b(1) + a²(2)  = 10  

2a² + b = 10         (4)

By solving equation (3) and (4),

The possible values of a are 8 and 9/4.

And possible value of b are -3 and -1/8.

Simplify: 0.9(2b-1)-0.5b+1

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

0.9*2b = 1.8b

0.9*-1 = -0.9

So far we have 1.8b-0.9. It can't be simplified further.

Then, we add the 2nd part, -0.5b+1.

We have:

1.8b-0.9-0.5b+1. Next we combine like terms.

1.8b-0.5b = 1.3b.

-0.9+1 = 0.1

Then we put it together.

1.3b+0.1 is our answer.

Hope this helped! Have a nice day :D

find the missing side of the triangle​

Answers

Answer:

197 is the missing side of the triangle

x= 197 ! i did it on a sheet of paper

find the missing side​

Answers

Answer:

x ≈ 14.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan73° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{48}{x}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by x )

x × tan73° = 48 ( divide both sides by tan73° )

x = [tex]\frac{48}{tan73}[/tex] ≈ 14.7 ( to the nearest tenth )

X = 48/tan(73) = 14.675

On a coordinate plane, a curved line labeled f of x with a minimum value of (1.9, negative 5.7) and a maximum value of (0, 2), crosses the x-axis at (negative 0.7, 0), (0.76, 0), and (2.5, 0), and crosses the y-axis at (0, 2).
Which statement is true about the graphed function?

F(x) < 0 over the intervals (-∞, -0.7) and (0.76, 2.5).
F(x) > 0 over the intervals (-∞, -0.7) and (0.76, 2.5).
F(x) < 0 over the intervals (-0.7, 0.76) and (2.5, ∞).
F(x) > 0 over the intervals (-0.7, 0.76) and (0.76, ∞

Answers

Answer:

F(x) < 0 over the intervals (-∞, -0.7) and (0.76, 2.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum value of the curve = (1.9, -5.7),

The maximum value = (0, 2)

The point the function crosses the x-axis (the x-intercept) = (-0.7, 0), (0.76, 0), and (2.5, 0)

The point the function crosses the y-axis (the y-intercept) = (0, 2)

The given points can be plotted using MS Excel, from which we have;

F(x) is less than 0 over the interval from x = -∞, to x = -0.7, and the interval from x = 0.76 to x = 2.5

The correct option is therefore, F(x) < 0 over the intervals (-∞, -0.7) and (0.76, 2.5)

Answer:

A. F(x) < 0 over the intervals (-∞, -0.7) and (0.76, 2.5).

The area of a square is given as (s3)6.

What is its perimeter?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

what does this problem description really say ? what is the area of that square ?

36 ?

s3×6 ?

s³×6 ?

5³×6 ?

2³×6 ?

(5×3)×6 ?

(2×3)×6 ?

and these are just the options that I can see right away without really thinking about it.

in any case, the solution is to draw the square root of the area, and then multiply the result by 4.

why ?

because the area of a square is the square of the length of one of its side - like for any rectangle the area is length×width, but in a square length = width, so the area is length×length = length².

therefore, sqrt(area) = sqrt(length²) = length.

and the perimeter of the square is the way all around the whole square (4 sides), which is then

length + length + length + length = 4×length

from all the possibilities I listed up there, only 36 and (2×3)×6 lead to nice round numbers.

as the area would be in both cases 36.

sqrt(36) = 6

and the perimeter would be 6×4 = 24

5. The average weight of a blue whale is 4 x 105 pounds. The average weight of an elephant is 1 x 10 pounds. How many more times heavier is a blue whale than an elephant in pounds? ​

Answers

Answer:

42 more times

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 4×105=420 (pounds)-blue whale

2) 1×10=10 (pounds)- elephant

3) 420:10=42

The amount of times that the blue whale is more heavier than the elephant in pounds is; 40 times heavier.

We are given;

Average weight of blue whale; W_w = 4 × 10^(5) pounds

Average weight of elephant; w_e = 1 × 10⁴ pounds

Now, we want to find how much more heavier the blue whale is than the elephant. Thus we will just divide W_w by W_e to get;

W_w/W_e = (4 × 10^(5))/(1 × 10⁴)

According to laws of exponents;

a¹²/a³ = a¹² ¯ ³ = a^(9)

Applying that to our question gives;

4(10^(5 - 4)) = 4 × 10 = 40

The sum of two numbers is 75. If one exceeds the other by 35, find the numbers.

Answers

Answer:

20 and 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume, we have two numbers 'x' and 'y'.

Now, all we know is:

one number exceeds the other by 35 (i.e  their difference is 35)sum of two numbers is 75

So we form two equations:

x + y = 75_____(i)

and x - y =  35

so, x = y+35 _____(ii)

Put the value of x from (ii) into (i)

x + y = 75

y + 35 + y = 75

2y = 40

y = 20

Put value of y back in (ii)

x = y+35

x = 20 + 35

x = 55

The first number is 20, and the second number is 55.

Given that the sum of two numbers is 75, one exceeds the other by 35, we need to find the numbers.

Let's assume the first number is x.

According to the problem, the second number exceeds the first by 35, so the second number can be expressed as (x + 35).

The sum of the two numbers is given as 75, so we can set up the equation:

x + (x + 35) = 75

Simplifying the equation, we get:

2x + 35 = 75

Subtracting 35 from both sides:

2x = 40

Dividing both sides by 2:

x = 20

Therefore, the first number is 20, and the second number is (20 + 35) = 55.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The first step would be to look at the purpose and use for each type of plotting method;

Dot Plot: Used to represent the distribution of data (for ex; #of Strawberries, Blueberries, and Raspberries.

Histogram: A histogram is used to summarize discrete or continuous data. In other words, it provides a visual interpretation of numerical data by showing the number of data points that fall within a specified range of values

Box Plot: Summerizes a set of data measured on an interval scale.

Best choice: Histogram- The reason why a histogram is the best representation of the student quartiles is because a histogram is used to summarize discrete or continuous data, and the given data is discrete

B)

To create your histogram you first have to create a frequency table like the one below;

On the vertical axis, place frequencies. Label this axis "Frequency".

On the horizontal axis, place the lower value of each interval. Label this axis with the type of data shown (Score, etc.)

Draw a bar extending from the lower value of each interval to the lower value of the next interval. The height of each bar should be equal to the frequency of its corresponding interval.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the compound interest formula and solve for t. Logarithms are involved.

  A = P(1 +r/n)^(nt)

amount when P is invested for t years at annual rate r compounded n times per year.

Using the given values, we have ...

  13060 = 8800(1 +0.028/365)^(365t)

  13060/8800 = (1 +0.028/365)^(365t) . . . . divide by P=8800

Now we take logarithms to make this a linear equation.

  log(13060/8800) = (365t)log(1 +0.028/365)

Dividing by the coefficient of t gives us ...

  t = log(13060/8800)/(365·log(1 +0.028/365)) ≈ 0.171461/0.0121598

  t ≈ 14.1

Answers

Answer:

the third option

Step-by-step explanation:

what does that mean ?

to "rationalize" it is to transform it into a rational number (that is a number that can be described as a/b, and is not an endless sequence of digits after the decimal point without a repeating pattern).

a square root of a not square number is irrational (not rational).

so, what this question is asking us to get rid of the square root part in the denominator (the bottom part).

for this we need to multiply to and bottom with the same expression (to keep the whole value of the quotient the same) that, when multiplied at the bottom, eliminates the square root.

what can I multiply a square root with to eliminate the square root ? the square root again - we are squaring the square root.

so, what works for 9 - sqrt(14) as factor ?

we cannot just square this as

(9- sqrt(14))² = 81 -2sqrt(14) + 14

we still have the square root included.

but remember the little trick :

(a+b)(a-b) = a² - b²

without any mixed elements.

so, we need to multiply (9-sqrt(14)) by (9+sqrt(14)) to get

81-14 = 67 which is a rational number.

therefore, the third answer option is correct.

follow the rule

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{a+b}{c-d}[/tex]

To rationalize the above fraction we need to change the sign of denominator patt and multiply with both numerator and denominator

Like

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{a+b(c+d)}{(c-d)(c-d)}[/tex]

Here correct option is C
