Answer:

x - y = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

5x + 4y = 13 → (1)

4x + 5y = 14 → (2)

Subtract (2) from (1) term by term , that is

(5x - 4x) + (4y - 5y) = 13 - 14

x - y = - 1

Answer:

x = 1

y = 2

x - y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 4y= 13,   then 4y = 13 - 5x, then y = (13 - 5x)/4

4x + 5y = 14

substitute for y:

4x + 5(13 - 5x)/4 = 14

simplifying:

4x + (65 - 25x)/4 = 14

4x + 16.25 -6.25x = 14

-2.25x = -2.25

x = 1

y = (13 - 5)/4 = 2

What is the equation for g, which is f(x) = 2x2 + 3x − 1 reflected across the y-axis? Group of answer choices g(x) = −2x2 − 3x −
Sergio [31]

Answer:

g(x) = 2x^2 - 3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 2x^2 + 3x - 1

Required

Determine g(x), if f(x) is reflected across the y axis

<em>When a function (x,y) is reflected across the y axis, the new function becomes (−x,y).</em>

<em />

In other words,

g(x) =  f(-x)

Calculating f(-x)

f(-x) = 2(-x)^2 + 3(-x) - 1

f(-x) = 2x^2 - 3x - 1

Substitute g(x) for f(-x)

g(x) = 2x^2 - 3x - 1

<em>Hence;</em>

g(x) = 2x^2 - 3x - 1

A function g(x) has x-intercepts at (StartFraction 1 Over 2 EndFraction, 0) and (6, 0). Which could be g(x)? g(x) = 2(x + 1)(x +
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

g(x) = (x-6)(2x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) intercepts the x-axis at these 2 points:

(6,0) ;(1/2,0)

⇒ 6 and 1/2 are roots ie; if you insert x=6 or x=1/2 into the equation of g(x) you will obtain a 0.

g(6) = g(1/2) = 0

now in order for 0 to appear we should have x-6

now in order for 0 to appear we should have x-1/2

but  x-1/2 doesn't appear in any of these, but its multiple of 2 is there:

2(x-1/2) = 2x-1

Therefore the function;

g(x) = (x-6)(2x-1)

The shorter sides of an acute triangle are x cm and 2x cm. The longest side of the triangle is 15 cm. What is the smallest possi
Ierofanga [76]
For an acute angled triangle 

h^2 < x^2 + y^2      where h = longest side and x and y are the other 2 sides.

so here we have

15^2 <  x^2 + (2x)^2

15^2 <  5x^2

x^2 >  15*3 = 45
x > sqrt 45 or x > 6.7

So smallest whole number value of  x is 7
