what two numbers' sum=-4 and product=-2

Answers

Answer 1

Let a and b be the two numbers. Then

a + b = -4

a b = -2

Solve the second equation for b :

b = -2/a

Substitute this into the first equation:

a - 2/a = -4

Multiply both sides by a :

a² - 2 = -4a

Move 4a to the left side:

a² + 4a - 2 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to solve for a :

a = (-4 ± √(4² - 4(-2))) / 2

a = -2 ± √6

If a = -2 + √6, then

-2 + √6 + b = -4

b = -2 - √6

In the other case, we end up with the same numbers, but a and b are swapped.

A line passes through the point (-2, 4), and its y-intercept is (0,6). What is the equation of the line that is
perpendicular to the first line and passes through the point (5, 4)?

Answers

Answer:

y = -x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The line that passes through the points (-2,4) and (0,6) has a slope of 1, and a y intercept of 6. The equation to the first line is y = x + 6. and perpendicular lines always have the opposite, reciprocal slope of the other line. So the slope for the second line would be -1. A line with the slope of -1 and a point of (5,4) would contain the points (5,4) , (4,5) , (3,6) , (2,7) , (1,8) , and (0,9) , which is the y intercept for the second line. So the equation for the second line would be y = -x + 9

Answers

Answer:

80 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

since ac and bc equal each other, it is an isosceles triangle. due to that, the measure of angle a and b are 50. so the measure of angle c is 80. due to some theorem, angle ecd is equal to angle acb. so ecd = 80

Answer:

C. 7.79 x 10^8

Step-by-step explanation:

Your Equation: (eight-point-one multiplied by ten to the eighth power) subtracted by (nine-point-one multiplied by ten to the seventh power)

so first we find out how much are in the parentheses :D

(8.7 x 10^8) = 870,000,000

(9.1 x 10^7) = 91,000,000

now you subtract 870,000,000 by 91,000,000.

 870,000,000

-    91,000,000

---------------------

 779,000,000

converted back to standard form...

Answers

Answer:

86%

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is calculated as

mean = [tex]\frac{sum}{count}[/tex]

The sum for the class is calculated as

[tex]\frac{sum}{30}[/tex] = 70 ( multiply both sides by 30 )

sum = 2100

The sum of the 20 boys is

[tex]\frac{sum}{20}[/tex] = 62 ( multiply both sides by 20 )

sum = 1240

The sum for the 10 girls is therefore 2100 - 1240 = 860

Thus the mean mark for the girls is

mean = [tex]\frac{860}{10}[/tex] = 86%

What is triangle congruency?

There are ways to prove that two triangles are congruent.

- Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence.

The three sides of one triangle are equal to the corresponding three sides of another triangle.

- Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Congruence.

The two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to the corresponding two sides and included angle of another triangle.

- Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Congruence.

The two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding two angles and included side of another triangle.

- Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) Congruence.

We have,

We see that,

ΔBDA and ΔDBC are both right triangles.

Now,

DC = AB (hypotenuse) (given)

DB = DB ( Common sides )

CB = DA ( Remaining side of the right triangle )

ΔBDA ≅ ΔDBC

Proved by HL.

Thus,

The congruence theorem can be used to prove Δ BDA ≅ Δ DBC is HL.

The smaller container has a volume of 1458 em.
Calculate the surface area of the smaller container,
[4]

Answers

Answer:

455.1 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The two containers have the following;

Large container

Volume : 3456 cm³

Surface area : 1024 cm²

Small container

Volume : 1458 cm³

Surface area : ?

If the two containers are mathematically similar then first find the volume scale factor

Volume of large/ volume of small

3456/1024 = 3.375

Length scale factor will be cube root of volume scale factor

∛3.375 = 1.5

Area scale factor is a square of the length scale factor

=1.5² = 2.25

=Surface area of the small container will be :

Larger area = 2.25 * small area

1024 = 2.25 * small area

1024/2.25 = small area

Surface area of the smaller container 455.1 cm².
