Two numbers have a sum of 18, and 4 times the first number minus the second number is equal to 17. What is the smallest number?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The smallest number is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Using simultaneous equation;

x+y = 18.....(1)

4x-y = 17.....(2)

from equation (1)..

x+y = 18

y = 18-x...(3)

substitute y into equation (2)

4x-y = 17

4x-(18-x) = 17

4x-18+x = 17

4x+x = 17+18

5x = 35

x = 35÷5

x = 7

substitute x into equation (3)

y = 18-x

y = 18-7

y = 11

Therefore; x=7

y=11

11+7=18

(4×7)-11=17

the smallest number is 7

Mahmoud is working out the height, h metres, of a tower

BT which stands on level ground.

He measures the angle TAB as 25°.

He cannot measure the distance AB and so he walks 80 m

from A to C, where angle ACB = 18° and angle ABC = 90°.

Calculate

Answers

Answer:

24.72 m

11.53 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Horizontal distance AB can be obtained from △ABC

From trigonometry :

Sin18° = opposite / hypotenus

Sin18° = AB / 80

AB = 0.3090169 * 80

AB = 24.72 m

The height BT, of tower from △ABT

From trigonometry :

Tan25° = opposite / Adjacent

Tan25° = h / 24.72m

h = Tan25 * 24.72

h = 11.527

h = 11.53 m

Hence, height of tower BT = 11.53 m

- 28 – 6b= 8

Answers

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

- 28 – 6b= 8

step 1 add 28 to each side

-28 + 28 cancels out

28 + 8 = 36

we now have -6b = 36

step 2 divide each side by -6

-6b / -6 = b

36 / -6 = -6

we're left with b = -6

Hi there!  

»»————- ★ ————-««

Your friend has n pennies. You have 29 pennies. You and your friend have a total of 40 pennies. Which equation could be used to find n?

Answers

40-29=n

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 29 in total yall have 40

so to find ur friends we subtract

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

your pennies + your friends pennies = the total number of pennies between you two

so the equation would be :

29 + n = 40

(im not sure if you wanted it solved for n but here is the solution just in case)

29 + n = 40

n = 40 - 29

n = 11

What are trigonometric functions?

There are six major trigonometric functions as -

Sine(x)Cosine(x)Tangent(x)Cotangent(x)Secant(x)Cosecant(x)

We can write the relation between them as -

Sine = 1/cosecantCosine = 1/secantTangent = 1/Cotangent

Also the following trigonometry relations hold true -

sin²Ф + cos²Ф = 1

1 + tan²Ф = sec²Ф

1 + cot²Ф = cosec²Ф

Given is a right angled triangle as shown in the image having 60 - 90 - 30 orientation and the measured sides as shown in the image.

We can write the cosine function as -

cosФ = Base/Hypotenuse

cos(30) = √3/2

So, we can conclude that the cosine function for Ф = 30 is equivalent to :

cos(30) =√3/2

Therefore, the cosine function for Ф = 30 is equivalent to :

cos(30) =√3/2.

Answer:

Please find attached the required graph of the equation, y = x² - 2·x - 8, created using MS Excel

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function required to be plot is y = x² - 2·x - 8

Therefore, the coordinates of the vertex of the parabola formed by the equation (h, k) is given as follows;

h = -(-2)/(2×1) = 1

k = 1² - 2×1 - 8 = -9

The coordinates of the vertex = (1, -9)

The roots of the equation is given when y = 0, as follows;

At the roots, we have;

x² - 2·x - 8 = 0

By factorizing, we get

x² - 2·x - 8 = (x - 4)·(x + 2) = 0

Therefore. the roots of the equation are;

x = 4, and x = -2

The coordinates of the roots are;

(4, 0), and (-2, 0)

Two other points can be found at when x = 3 and when x = 0 as follows;

When x = 3, we have;

y = 3² - 2×3 - 8 = -5

(3, -5)

When x  = 0, we have;

y = 0² - 2×0 - 8 = -8

(0, -8)

The five points are;

(1, -9), (4, 0), (-2, 0), (3, -5), (0, -8)

The graph of the equation created using MS Excel showing the five points is attached.

The city is planting new trees in its downtown to make the streets more comfortable for visitors. They are planting each tree 12 feet apart. How many trees can they plant on 2 miles of streets? Hint is that 5280= 1 mile. Please help

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

let's make T= the number if trees...

If we're placing one tree every 12 feet for two miles, then:

T×(space between trees) = (number of miles)×(1mi.)

T×12ft. = 2×1mi. = 2×5280ft.

Dividing by 12ft. to isolate T gives us:

T=(2×5280)/12 = 880

So that'll be 880 trees for 2 miles of street.

The number of trees that they plant on 2 miles of streets will be 880 trees.

What is division?

Division means the separation of something into different parts, sharing of something among different people, places, etc.

The city is planting new trees in its downtown to make the streets more comfortable for visitors.

They are planting each tree 12 feet apart.

Then the number of trees that they plant on 2 miles of streets will be  

We know the conversion of miles into feet.

  1 mile = 5280 feet

2 miles = 10560 feet

Then the number of trees will be

Number of trees = 10560 / 12

Number of trees = 880
