Find two positive consecutive
even integers such that the
square of the smaller integer
decreased by five times the
larger integer is 536.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]26[/tex] and [tex]28[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]x[/tex] denote the smaller one of the two even integers ([tex]x > 0[/tex] since both integers are positive.) The larger one of the two consecutive even integer would be [tex](x + 2)[/tex].

The square of the smaller integer would be [tex]x^{2}[/tex].

Five times the larger integer would be [tex]5\, (x + 2)[/tex].

Subtract five times the larger integer from the square of the smaller integer to get [tex](x^{2} - 5\, (x + 2))[/tex].

The value of this expression should be equal to [tex]536[/tex]. In other words:

[tex]x^{2} - 5\, (x + 2) = 536[/tex].

Rewrite and simplify this quadratic equation:

[tex]x^{2} + (-5)\, x + (- 546) = 0[/tex].

[tex]a = 1[/tex].[tex]b = (-5)[/tex].[tex]c = (-546)[/tex]

Apply the quadratic formula to find possible values of [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]\begin{aligned}x_{1} &= \frac{-b + \sqrt{b^{2} - 4\, a\, c}}{2\, a} \\ &= \frac{-(-5) + \sqrt{(-5)^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times (-546)}}{2}\\ &= \frac{5 + \sqrt{2209}}{2} \\ &=\frac{5 + 47}{2} \\ &= 26\end{aligned}[/tex].

[tex]\begin{aligned}x_{2} &= \frac{-b - \sqrt{b^{2} - 4\, a\, c}}{2\, a} \\ &= \frac{5 - \sqrt{2209}}{2} \\ &=\frac{5 - 47}{2} \\ &= -21\end{aligned}[/tex].

Since [tex]x > 0[/tex] (both numbers are supposed to be positive), [tex]x = 26[/tex] would be the only valid solution.

Therefore, the two integers would be [tex]x = 26[/tex] and [tex]x + 2 = 28[/tex].

Answers

Answer:

Use the equation y=mx+b

Step-by-step explanation:

So you know how to get the slop, which is awesome

Now to get y all you have to do is use the equation:

y=mx+b

m being slop

b being y- intercept in this case being 2

so you have y=-2x+2

all you have to do is insert different x values and solve the equation for y and see if they match up together in any of the tables

Answers

Broker q’s commission with a charge of $32.50 will be $11.50 less than broker p’s commission of 4.4%

What is a bond?

A bond is a fixed-income instrument that represents a loan made by an investor to a borrower.

Par value of bond = $1,000

Commission on this by broker p= 4.4% = 1000*(4.4)/100= $44

So, the total price spent to purchase this bond = $1044

Par value of bond = $1,000

Commission on this by broker q= $32.50

So, the total price spent to purchase this bond =1000+32.50 = $1032.50

Difference between both deals = 1044-1032.50 = $11.50

Therefore, broker q’s commission will be $11.50 less than broker p’s.

Answer:

yes, it is

Step-by-step explanation:

10 = 4(2) + 2

10 = 8 +2

10 = 10

10  = 2 + 8

10 = 10

Answer:

The answer is yes

*View the attached graph to check your answer graphically.*

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x + 2

y = x + 8

For this problem, I will be using substitution, since the second equation is already in the slope-intercept form.

First, I will substitute the second equation, for y, in the first equation:

y = 4x + 2

y = x + 8

x + 8 = 4x + 2

Next, subtract 4x from both sides to isolate x:

x + 8 = 4x + 2

-4x      -4x

-3x + 8 = 2

Then, subtract 8 from both sides:

-3x + 8 = 2

     - 8    - 8

-3x = -6

Now, divide both sides by -3:

-3x = -6

/-3    /-3

x = 2

Now, we find the value of y by substituting 2 for x:

y = 4x + 2

y = 4(2) + 2

y = 8 + 2

y = 10

(x, y) ==> (2, 10)

Therefore, yes (2,10) is a solution to this system of equations.

Using an exponential function, it is found that the amounts deposited at the end of each month are given by:

At the end of the first month, she deposits $110.At the end of the second month, she deposits $121.At the end of the third month, she deposits $133.1.At the end of the fourth month, she deposits $146.41.

What is an exponential function?

An increasing exponential function is modeled by:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t[/tex]

In which:

A(0) is the initial value.r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

In this problem, we have that A(0) = 100, r = 0.1, hence the equation for the amount deposited after t months is:

[tex]A(t) = 100(1.1)^t[/tex]

Then, for each of the first four months:

[tex]A(1) = 100(1.1)^1 = 110[/tex][tex]A(2) = 100(1.1)^2 = 121[/tex][tex]A(3) = 100(1.1)^3 = 133.1[/tex][tex]A(4) = 100(1.1)^4 = 146.41[/tex]

A wire that is 22 feet long connects the top of a pole to the ground. The wire is attached to the ground at a point that is 10 feet from the base of the pole.

A right triangle with side length 10 feet, hypotenuse of 22 feet, and side of h.  Thus, the length of side of h by the Pythagoras theorem can be given as,

[tex]h^2=22^2-10^2\\h=\sqrt{484-100}\\h=\sqrt{384}\\h=19.60\rm\; ft[/tex]

A school gym has an area of 4,641 square feet and a perimeter of 284 feet. What are the dimensions of the gym?

Answers

Answer:

dimensions are 51x91

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the gym is rectangular in shape, then...

l*w=4641

and 2l+2w=284

We have two variables and two equations so to solve this we plug one equation into another.

Solve for one variable:

l*w=4641

w=4641/l

Plug into the other equation...

2l+2(4641/l)=284

Solve

l*(2l+9282/l)=284

2l^2+9282=284l

2l^2-284l+9282=0

Factor the trinomial:

2(l−51)(l−91)=0

l−51=0 or l−91=0(Set factors equal to 0)

l=51 or l=91

now, lets plug it into one of the equations to find w

51*w=4641

w=91, l=51

or...

91*w=4641

w=51, l=91

Answer:

91 ft × 51 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

while the other answer is basically correct, it makes a to at the beginning of the calculation (but the continues correctly).

and it assumes you can find the right factoring of the expression.

so, I will show you here how to generally solve this, even if you cannot find the right factorization :

l×w = 4,641 ft²

w = 4641/l

2l + 2w = 284

2l + 2(4641/l) = 284

2l + 9282/l = 284

2l² + 9282 = 284l

2l² - 284l + 9282 = 0

to make things easier let's divide everything by 2

l² - 142l + 4641 = 0

the general solution to a squared equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

x = l

a = 1

b = -142

c = 4641

l = (142 ± sqrt((-142)² - 4×1×4641))/(2×1) =

= (142 ± sqrt(20,164 - 18,564))/2 =

= (142 ± sqrt(1600))/2 = (142 ± 40)/2 = 71 ± 20

l1 = 71 + 20 = 91

l2 = 71 - 20 = 51

w1 = 4641/91 = 51

w2 = 4641/51 = 91

so, they are interchangeable (it does not matter which we call length and which width).

the dimensions are 91 ft × 51 ft

This question is asking for you to determine if the tables represent linear functions, functions in y=mx+b form, and to find the equation for the line.

If something is a linear function, each of the input values will have it's own corresponding y value, therefore c cannot be linear, as -1 and 1 both have 10 as the output.

Consider this dilation.
(a) Is the image of the dilation a reduction or an enlargement of the original figure? Explain.
(b)What is the scale factor? Explain and show your work.

Answers

The red figure is the original and the green the dilation. We know this because the dilated points are marked with '.

Therefore, we can see that the dilation is a reduction of the original figure. The figure got smaller in size after the dilation.

To find the scale factor, we'll need to look at a few of the points before and after the dilation.

A = (-4, 4)

A' = (-2, 2)

C = (0, 4)

C' = (0, 2)

---The scale factor will be the same on all the points, which is why I have selected only 2 sets of points to look at.

Now, we can figure out the scale factor by thinking about how -4 got to -2, how 4 got to 2. In this case, it is simply dividing by 2. The scale factor must be in multiplication, so we cannot use division in reporting the scale factor, it must be a fraction.

2 / 4 = 1 / 2

The scale factor, therefore, is 1/2.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

a) A reduction.

b) 0.5 or 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The new points are indicated by the ' next to the letters. By observing the graph, we can see that new points have lessened, and therefore shrank the dialtion, so it is a reduction.

b) On each point, it is reducted by 0.5.

Point A went down from 4 to 2, which is half of 4.

Point B went down from -2 to -1, which is half of -2.

Point C went down from 4 to 2, which is half of 4.

Point D went down from 8 to 4, which is half of 8.
