A positive real number is 4 less than another. If the sum of the squares of the two numbers is 72, then find the numbers.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Our two numbers are:

[tex]2+4\sqrt{2} \text{ and } 4\sqrt{2}-2[/tex]

Or, approximately 7.66 and 3.66.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be a and b.

One positive real number is four less than another. So, we can write that:

[tex]b=a-4[/tex]

The sum of the squares of the two numbers is 72. Therefore:

[tex]a^2+b^2=72[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]a^2+(a-4)^2=72[/tex]

Solve for a. Expand:

[tex]a^2+(a^2-8a+16)=72[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]2a^2-8a+16=72[/tex]

Divide both sides by two:

[tex]a^2-4a+8=36[/tex]

Subtract 36 from both sides:

[tex]a^2-4a-28=0[/tex]

The equation isn't factorable. So, we can use the quadratic formula:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

In this case, a = 1, b = -4, and c = -28. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-(-4)\pm\sqrt{(-4)^2-4(1)(-28)}}{2(1)}[/tex]

Evaluate:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{4\pm\sqrt{128}}{2}=\frac{4\pm8\sqrt{2}}{2}=2\pm4\sqrt{2}[/tex]

So, our two solutions are:

[tex]\displaystyle x_1=2+4\sqrt{2}\approx 7.66\text{ or } x_2=2-4\sqrt{2}\approx-3.66[/tex]

Since the two numbers are positive, we can ignore the second solution.

So, our first number is:

[tex]a=2+4\sqrt{2}[/tex]

And since the second number is four less, our second number is:

[tex]b=(2+4\sqrt{2})-4=4\sqrt{2}-2\approx 3.66[/tex]

Answer 2

Answer:

[tex]2+4\sqrt{2}\text{ and }4\sqrt{2}-2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the large number be [tex]x[/tex]. We can represent the smaller number with [tex]x-4[/tex]. Since their squares add up to 72, we have the following equation:

[tex]x^2+(x-4)^2=72[/tex]

Expand [tex](x-4)^2[/tex] using the property [tex](a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2[/tex]:

[tex]x^2+x^2-2(4)(x)+16=72[/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]2x^2-8x+16=72[/tex]

Subtract 72 from both sides:

[tex]2x^2-8x-56=0[/tex]

Use the quadratic formula to find solutions for [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex] for [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex]

In [tex]2x^2-8x-56[/tex], assign:

[tex]a\implies 2[/tex] [tex]b \implies -8[/tex] [tex]c\implies -56[/tex]

Solving, we get:

[tex]x=\frac{-(-8)\pm \sqrt{(-8)^2-4(2)(-56)}}{2(2)},\\x=\frac{8\pm 16\sqrt{2}}{4},\\\begin{cases}x=\frac{8+16\sqrt{2}}{4}, x=\boxed{2+4\sqrt{2}} \\x=\frac{8-16\sqrt{2}}{4}, x=\boxed{2-4\sqrt{2}}\end{cases}[/tex]

Since the question stipulates that [tex]x[/tex] is positive, we have [tex]x=\boxed{2+4\sqrt{2}}[/tex]. Therefore, the two numbers are [tex]2+4\sqrt{2}[/tex] and [tex]4\sqrt{2}-2[/tex].

Verify:

[tex](2+4\sqrt{2})^2+(4\sqrt{2}-2)^2=72\:\checkmark[/tex]

A man borrows Rs. 50000 at 12% p.A., compounded half-yearly. He pays back Rs. 18000 at the end of every six months. Calculate the third payment, he has to make to clear the entire loan

Answers

Answer:

Rs. 20246

Step-by-step explanation:

According To the Question,

Given, A man borrows Rs. 50000 at 12% per Annum(compounded half-yearly). Thus the Rate of Interest for 6 months would be 6%. Now, He pays back Rs. 18000 at the end of every six months.

Thus, the third payment, he has to make to clear the entire loan.

First-Payment = ( 50000 x 1.06 ) - 18000  ⇔  35000 Rs.

Second-Payment = (35000 x 1.06) - 18000  ⇔ 19100 Rs.

Third-Payment = (19100 x 1.06 ) ⇔ 20246 Rs. the third payment, he has to make to clear the entire loan.

Answer:

426 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

let the pigs = x

the ducks = 2×x = 2x

the chickens = 3×(2x) = 6x

x +2x +6x = 639

9x=639

x = 639/9 = 71

the chickens = 6x = 6×71 = 426

Answer:

[tex]426\:\mathrm{chickens}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a duck has two legs, a pig has four legs, and a chicken has two legs, we can write the following system of equations:

[tex]\begin{cases}d+p+c=639,\\d=2p,\\c=3d\end{cases}[/tex], where [tex]d[/tex] is the number of ducks on the farm, [tex]c[/tex] is the number of chickens, and [tex]p[/tex] is the number of pigs.

Substituting, we get:

[tex]d+\frac{1}{2}d+3d=639,\\4.5d=639,\\d=\boxed{142}[/tex]

Now substitute [tex]d=142[/tex] into [tex]c=3d[/tex] to get the number of chickens:

[tex]c=3(142)=\boxed{426\:\mathrm{chickens}}[/tex]

Solve for x. Round to one decimal place.

Natalie and Warren started swimming laps in the pool at 5:47. Natalie finished swimming her laps 27 minutes later. Warren finished swimming his laps 8 minutes after Natalie. What time did Warren finish his laps?

Answers

Answer:

6:22

Step-by-step explanation:

original time minutes when they both started - 47

47+ natalie's time

47+27 =74

minus 60 minutes to account for the hour (6 o'clock)

74-60=14

natalie finished at 6:14

warren finished 8 minutes after natalie's time

14+8=22

the hour did not finish so it will remain at 6

which leaves your final answer for the time that warren finished as 6:22

-2. Which equation represents this
direct variation between a and b?
Obra
O b = a
Ob-a= 0
Ob(-a) = 0

Answers

Answer:

b = -a

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

On a number line, the distance between 0 and b is the same distance that between 0 and a (but b and a are in opposite sides of zero).

And we know that, for example, when:

b = 2,  a = -2

Remember that the distance between two values is given by:

|n - m|

Then the distance between 0 and b is:

|0 - b|

and the distance between 0 and a is:

|0 - a|

we have:

|-b| = |-a|

|b| = |a|

But the numbers are in opposite sides of the zero, so one must be positive and the other negative, then we can conclude that:

b = -a

or

-b = a

(these are equivalent)

Then the correct option is the first option:

b = -a

A ride-share company has a fee that includes a fixed cost and a cost that depends on both the time spent travelling, in minutes, and the distance travelled, in kilometres. The fixed cost of a ride is $2.55 Judy's ride costs $16.75 and took eight minutes. The distance travelled was 10 km. Pat's ride cost $30.35 and took 20 minutes. The distance travelled was 18 km. Roy's ride took 10 minutes. The distance travelled was 15 km. Find the cost of Roy's ride.

Answers

Answer:

the cost of Roy's ride is $23.05

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

Let, Cost of per minute charge is 'x' & Cost Of Per Kilometre charge is y .

Given, A ride-share company has a fee of the fixed cost of a ride is $2.55 .And, The Total cost of the Ride depends on both the time spent on travelling(in minutes), and the distance travelled(in kilometres) .

⇒ Judy's ride costs $16.75 . but the actual cost after deducting the fixed charge is 16.75-2.55 = $14.20, took 8 minutes & The distance travelled was 10 km. Thus, the equation for the journey is 8x+10y=14.20 ⇒ Equ. 1

⇒ Pat's ride costs $30.35 . but the actual cost after deducting the fixed charge is 30.35-2.55 = $27.80, took 20 minutes & The distance travelled was 18 km. Thus, the equation for the journey is 20x+18y=27.80 ⇒ Equ. 2

Now, on Solving Equation 1 & 2, We get

x=0.4(Cost of per minute charge) & y=1.1(Cost Of Per Kilometre charge)

Now, Roy's ride took 10 minutes & The distance travelled was 15 km . Thus, the cost of Roy's Ride is 10x+15y ⇔ 10×0.4 + 15×1.1 ⇔ $20.5

Hence, the total cost of Roy's ride is 20.5 + 2.55(fixed cost) = $23.05

Solution:

Domain is the set of input values or x-values.

From the given graph it is clear that the function has one end point at (0,9) and an arrow at (8,1). It means it is not a line because it is a ray that moves further from point (8,1) in the downward direction.

The minimum value of x is 0 and their is no maximum value of x because  graph of the function is a ray. So, the domain of the given function is:

Lets now solve;

The difference between the interest for first and second year on a sum of money compounded annually is rs 30 if the rate of interest is 5% what was the sum of money deposited

Answers

Answer:

$600.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between the interest for first and second year on a sum of money compounded annually is rs 30 if the rate of interest is 5% what was the sum of money deposited

We solve using Compound Interest formula which is given as:

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 5/100

r = 0.05 per year,

Then, solve the equation for P

P = I / ((1 + r/n)^nt - 1)

P = 30 / ((1 + 0.05/1)^(1×1) - 1)

P = 30 / ((1 + 0.05)^(1) - 1)

P = $600.00

Edmund and Lucy go to a toy shop. Edmund does not have enough money to buy the toy he wants. He says to Lucy, 'If you give me ₹ 40, I can buy my toy. But you will have ₹ 10 less to buy your toy." How much money does Lucy have?

Answers

Answer and explanation:

Assuming Edmund has $0

From Edmund, we know the toy costs $40(assuming it's in dollars)

Lucy gives him $40 and has $10 less($40-$10) to buy her own toy

Therefore Lucy had $40+$30= $70 before giving Edmund $40 for his toy.

Lucy currently has $70-$40 =$30, therefore needs $10 more to buy her own toy
