Is it possible for two numbers to have a difference of 8, and a sum of -6? If so, what are the two numbers?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The two numbers are 1 and -7

1 minus -7 = 1 - (-7) = 1 + 7 = 8 .... difference

1 plus -7 = 1 + (-7) = -6 .... sum

===================================================

Explanation:

Let x and y be the two numbers. Let's say that x > y. Meaning that x is the bigger value.

They have a difference of 8 tells us that

x-y = 8

since "difference" is the result of subtraction. The term "sum" means the result of addition. Having a sum of -6 tells us

x+y = -6

We have this system of equations

[tex]\begin{cases}x-y = 8\\x+y = -6\end{cases}[/tex]

We can add the equations straight down. So we add the x terms to get x+x = 2x. The y terms add to -y+y = 0y = 0, so the y terms go away. The stuff on the right hand side adds to 8+(-6) = 2

After adding the equations straight down, we boil things down to the equation 2x = 2 which solves to x = 1, after dividing both sides by 2.

Then you'll use x = 1 to find y

x-y = 8

1-y = 8

-y = 8-1

-y = 7

y = -7

or

x+y = -6

1+y = -6

y = -6-1

y = -7

Regardless of what equation you pick, you should end up with the same y value. This helps confirm we have the correct x value.

Another way to check is to plug (x,y) = (1,-7) into both equations of the system. You should end up with true statements after simplifying fully.

So the two numbers are x = 1 and y = -7

Answers

Answer:

y = 210,000(1.055)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial population: p = 210,000

Annual growth rate: 5.5% = 0.055

Number of years: t

Population in year t: y

y = p(1 + r)^t

y = 210,000(1 + 0.055)^t

Answer: 50.00 - 2.50 each week

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First label the x axis as "Time (Weeks)" and y axis as "money in the bank account". The x axis should go by 1. As in the squares being, 1,2,3, etc. The y axis should go by 5's and end at 50.

Use a product of two binomials to find a polynomial that represents the area of Roberto's plot.

Answers

Answer:

First, we know that the area of a rectangle of width W and length L is:

A = W*L

In the case of Roberto's plan, we can see that the length of the whole rectangle is:

L = 1.5ft + x + 1.5ft = 3 ft + x

And the width is:

W = 3ft + x + 3ft = 6ft + x

Then the area of the whole thing is:

A = (3ft + x)*(6ft + x)

This is what we wanted, a product of two polynomials that represents the area of Roberto's plot.

Now if we subtract the white square (is a square of sidelength x, then its area is A = x*x) we will get the area of the border;

The total area of Roberto's borders is:

Area of the border =  (3ft + x)*(6ft + x) - x*x

                               =   3ft*6ft + 3ft*x + x*6ft + x^2 - x^2

                               = x*9ft + 18ft^2

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The price per pack: 5.00 $

When the amount of packs is > 10 :

90 % * 5 $ = 4.50 $ before tax.

The price of 15 packs:

4.50 $ * 15 = 45 + 22.5 = 67.5 $ before tax.

After tax:

107 % * 67.5 $  = 72.225 $ after tax.

how do I write a polynomial when given the zeros​

Answers

Given the zeros of a polynomial, you can very easily write it -- first in its factored form and then in the standard form. Subtract the first zero from x and enclose it in parentheses. This is the first factor. For example if a polynomial has a zero that is -1, the corresponding factor is x - (-1) = x + 1.

Answer:

Subtract the first zero from x and enclose it in parentheses. This is the first factor. For example if a polynomial has a zero that is -1, the corresponding factor is x - (-1) = x + 1.

Raise the factor to the power of the multiplicity. For instance, if the zero -1 in the example has a multiplicity of two, write the factor as (x +1)^2.

Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the other zeros and add them as further factors. For instance, if the example polynomial has two more zeros, -2 and 3, both with multiplicity 1, two more factors -- (x +2) and (x -3) -- must be added to the polynomial. The final form of the polynomial is then ((x +1)^2)(x +2)(x -3).

Multiply out all the factors using the FOIL (First Outer Inner Last) method to get the polynomial in the standard form. In the example, first multiply (x + 2)(x - 3) to get x^2 + 2x - 3x - 6 = x^2 - x - 6. Then multiply this with another factor (x + 1) to get (x^2 - x - 6)(x + 1) = x^3 +x^2 - x^2 - x - 6x - 6 = x^3 - 7x - 6. Finally, multiply this with the last factor (x + 1) to get (x^3 - 7x - 6)(x + 1) =x^4+x^3-7x^2-7x-6x-6 = x^4 + x^3 - 7x^2 - 13x - 6. This is the standard form of the polynomial.

The length of the side LJ of triangle ΔJKL can be obtained as 12 units. The correct option is (C).

What is a triangle?

A triangle is a two dimensional shape bound by three sides. The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°. The longest side of a triangle is always less than the sum of other two sides.

As per the given question, O is the midpoint of LK.

Then, LO = OK.

The equation can be written as,

⇒ 2x = x + 8

⇒ x = 8

Then, NJ = 8 - 2 = 6

Since, N is also the midpoint of LJ.

LJ = 2 × NJ

⇒ LJ = 2 × 6 = 12.

Hence, the length of the side LJ can be found as 12 units.

Answers

Answer:

-5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

for perpendicularity;

where m1 is first slope

and m2 is second slope

so here, let m1 be green line slope

and m2 be red line slope

thus,

[tex]m2 = \frac{ - 1}{m1} [/tex]

[tex]m2 = \frac{ - 1}{ \frac{2}{5} } = - 1 \div \frac{2}{5} [/tex]

When added together, Interior angles of a triangle are always equal to 180 degrees.

Answer:

∠FHG=120°

Step-by-step explanation:

first you calculate the angles of the triangle NGH

this is isoceles triangle, so there's 2 equal angles

and as shown, the 2 same angles are having 2 lines in each one, this 2 lines represents that the 2 angles are same

so both are 20°

any triangle has a sum of 180° of interior angles

so 180-(H+G)=the angle below N

180-(20+20)=140°

the angle below N is same as N because they're vertically opposite

140 is an exterior angle

and the exterior angle is equal to the 2 far angles

140=40+∠FHN

140-40=100°

so ∠FHN=100°

∠FHN+∠NHG=∠FHG

100+20=120°
