Which is the x-value of the solution of the system of equations? y=3x^2+15 y=5x^2-17

A. x=±1 B. x=±2
C. x=±4 D. x=±16

Answers

Answer:

C. x = ±4

Explanation:

Given two equation's:

y = 3x² + 15y = 5x² - 17

Solve them simultaneously:

 y       =       y

3x² + 15 = 5x² - 17

5x² - 3x² = 15 + 17

2x² = 32

x² = 16

x = ±√16

x = ±4

A crate is lifting a boat suspended by wire ropes AB and AD. The point C is vertically below A, and BC measures 5.
a) The gradient of AB is 0.8. How high is AC

Answers

The boat suspended by wire ropes AB and AD, AC is 4 units high.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

The gradient of AB is 0.8, hence:

AC / BC = 0.8

Since BC = 5, therefore:

AC / 5 = 0.8

AC = 4

A timer is started and a few moments later a model airplane is launched from the ground. Its height (in feet) as a function of time (in seconds after the timer was started) is given by the equation h(t)=−(t−12)2+81

. Which of the following statements is true?

The airplane reaches its minimum height of 12 feet in 81 seconds.
The airplane reaches its maximum height of 81 feet in 12 seconds.
The airplane reaches its minimum height of 81 feet in 12 seconds.

The airplane reaches its maximum height of 12 feet in 81 seconds.

Answers

The airplane reaches its maximum height of 81 feet in 12 seconds.

Behavior of curves

If y = [tex]x^{2}[/tex], it means that the second derivate is 2 which is positive, then there is a minimum turning point.

If y = - [tex]x^{2}[/tex], it means that the second derivative will be -2 which is negative, then there is a maximum turning point.

Analysis:

h(t) = -[tex](t - 12)^{2}[/tex] + 81

By expanding,

h(t) = -([tex]t^{2}[/tex] - 24t + 144) +81

h(t) = -[tex]t^{2}[/tex] + 24t - 144 + 81

h(t) = -[tex]t^{2}[/tex] + 24t - 63

at turning point d/dt(h(t)) = 0

d/dt (h(t)) = -2t +24

-2t +24 = 0

if we differentiate again, second derivative is -2 which is negative, so it is a maximum point.

2t = 24

t  = 12 seconds

h(t) at t = 12

h(t) = [tex]-(12)^{2}[/tex] + 24(12) - 63 = 81 feet

In conclusion, the maximum height of the airplane after 12 seconds is 81 feet.

The roots of the quadratic equation x²+bx+c = 0 are a and ß a) Evaluate i) a² + ß², ii) (a − ß)² b) Find the quadratic equation whose roots are (a² +ß²) and (a - 3)²​

Answers

If ɑ and β are the roots of x² + bx + c = 0, then we can write

x² + bx + c = (x - ɑ) (x - β)

Expanding the right side gives

x² + bx + c = x² - (ɑ + β) x + ɑβ

so that ɑ + β = -b and ɑβ = c.

Recall that for all real numbers m and n,

(m + n)² = m² + 2mn + n²

a) It follows that

(i) ɑ² + β² = (ɑ + β)² - 2ɑβ = (-b)² + c = b² + c

(ii) (ɑ - β)² = ɑ² - 2ɑβ + β² = b² + c - 2c = b² - c

b) I assume you mean to find the quadratic whose roots are ɑ² + β² and (ɑ - β)² (and not (ɑ - 3)²). The simplest quadratic of this form is

(x - (ɑ² + β²)) (x - (ɑ - β)²)

Using the results from part (a), this becomes

(x - (b² + c)) (x - (b² - c))

and expanding, we get

x² - (b² + c + b² - c) x + (b² + c) (b² - c)

= x² - 2b² x + b⁴ - c²

Heron was large and slow, with a long, gangly neck and big, floppy wings. Hummingbird was tiny and swift, with wings that moved so quickly that they buzzed and a slender beak as sleek as a needle.Heron and Hummingbird both loved to eat fish from the river. Every morning, Heron would fish to her heart's content, eating until her stomach was so round and heavy that she had to waddle back to shore. Every afternoon, Hummingbird would fish and feast until he was so heavy that his tiny, buzzing wings could no longer keep him in the air. Heron and Hummingbird thought they were the luckiest birds in the world.One afternoon, Hummingbird did not catch as many fish as usual. He fished and he fished, but his line came up empty more times than it ever had before. He flew to Heron's house."Heron! Heron!" he called. "Why have you eaten all the fish?"Heron bustled to her door, angry and surprised at her friend's accusation."Me? Eat all the fish?" she squawked. "I barely caught anything this morning! My poor stomach has been growling all day."The two birds began to argue over who had eaten more fish. Finally, Hummingbird raised his wing to stop the debate."I do not think there are enough fish left in the river for both of us," he said. "Let's have a race. Whoever reaches the dead tree on the other side of the hills first owns all the fish. The loser has to find something else to eat."In both mythical texts, a feeling of community is broken.
