3x + ky = 8
X – 2ky = 5
are simultaneous equations where k is a constant.
b) Given that y = 1/2 determine the value of k.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a): x is 3 and ky is -1

(b): k is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let: 3x + ky = 8 be equation (a)

x - 2 ky = 5 be equation (b)

Then multiply equation (a) by 2:

→ 6x + 2ky = 16, let it be equation (c)

Then equation (c) + equation (b):

[tex] { \sf{(6 + 1)x + (2 - 2)ky = (16 + 5)}} \\ { \sf{7x = 21}} \\ { \sf{x = 3}}[/tex]

Then ky :

[tex]{ \sf{2ky = 3 - 5}} \\ { \sf{ky = - 1}}[/tex]

[tex]{ \bf{y = \frac{1}{2} }} \\ { \sf{ky = - 1}} \\ { \sf{k = - 2}}[/tex]

Answer 2

Simultaneous equations are used to represent a system of related equations.

The value of k when [tex]y = \frac 12[/tex] is -2

Given that:

[tex]3x + ky = 8[/tex]

[tex]x - 2ky = 5[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac 12[/tex]

Substitute [tex]y = \frac 12[/tex] in both equations

[tex]3x + ky = 8[/tex]

[tex]3x + k \times \frac 12 = 8[/tex]

[tex]3x + \frac k2 = 8[/tex]

[tex]x - 2ky = 5[/tex]

[tex]x - 2k \times \frac 12 = 5[/tex]

[tex]x - k = 5[/tex]

Make x the subject in [tex]x - k = 5[/tex]

[tex]x = 5 + k[/tex]

Substitute [tex]x = 5 + k[/tex] in [tex]3x + \frac k2 = 8[/tex]

[tex]3(5 + k) + \frac k2 = 8[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]15 + 3k + \frac k2 = 8[/tex]

Multiply through by 2

[tex]30 + 6k + k = 16[/tex]

[tex]30 + 7k = 16[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]7k = 16 - 30[/tex]

[tex]7k = - 14[/tex]

Divide both sides by 7

[tex]k = -2[/tex]

Hence, the value of constant k is -2.

• C. Yes; the graph passes the vertical line test.
D. Yes; there are no y-values that have more than one x-value.

Answer:

C. Yes; the graph passes the vertical line test.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reasons the others are wrong:

A. It does pass the vertical line test.

B. Y-values can have any x values. It is x-values that can't have multiple y-values.

D. There are y-values with more than one x-value on this graph so that's just false. Even if it were true, that still doesn't invalidate it due to the reasons given in Answer B.

Answer:  90 degrees

=============================================================

Explanation:

This figure is a kite since we have two pairs of adjacent sides that are congruent, but not all sides are the same length.

One property of kites is that the diagonals are always perpendicular (this applies to rhombuses as well). This means angle 3 is 90 degrees.

The measure of ∠3 is 90°

Because in a kite the diagonals bisects at 90°

Therefore ∠3 is 90°

Dan invests £18790 into his bank account. He receives 5.9% per year simple interest. How
much will Dan have after 2 years? Give your answer to the nearest penny where appropriate.

Answers

Answer: £21007.22

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the interest amount using the formula SI = (P × R × T) / 100.

SI = interest amount P = principle amount = £18790R = interest rate(in percentage) = 5.9T = time(in years) = 2

SI = (P × R × T) / 100 = (18790 × 5.9 × 2)/100 = 221722/100 = £2217.22

The total amount = principle amount + interest amount

= £18790 + £2217.22 = £21007.22

The width of a rectangle is twice as long as the length. if the length is increased by 50% and the width is decreased by 20%, the perimeter becomes 248. find the width and length of the original rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The percents here make this more tricky than it originally seems to be. We'll make a table and see where it takes us:

                          original                 new

length

width

And we'll fill it in according to our rules given. Starting with the original, we are told that the width is twice as long as the length. We don't know the length, so we'll call that L, and if the width is twice that, the width is 2L:

                           original                  new

length                       L

width                       2L

Now here's the tricky part. What I'm going to do is fill in the "new" column with the expressions and then we'll simplify them in the next step.

The length is increased by 50%. So we have 100% of the original length and we are adding another 50% to that:

                            original                        new

length                      L                       100%L + 50%L

width                       2L

The width is decreased by 20%, so we have 100% of 2L and we are subtracting 20% of 2L from that:

                             original                       new

length                        L                     100%L + 50%L

width                        2L                  100%(2L) - 20%(2L)

And now we'll simplify that "new" column:

                              original                         new

length                        L                         150%L = 1.5L

width                         2L               80%(2L) = 160%L = 1.6L

Now we're ready for the perimeter part. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2w, so filling in from our "new" column, since 248 is the perimeter given for AFTER the rectangle's length and width are manipulated:

248 = 2(1.5L) + 2(1.6L) and

248 = 3L + 3.2L and

248 = 6.2L so

L = 40 and that means that w = 80 (because in the "original" column, the width is twice the length)

Find the value of both variables.

A machine with velocity ratio of 5 is used to raise a load with an effort of 500N . If the machine is 80% efficient , determine the magnitude of the load.​

Answers

Answer:

Solutions given:

Velocity ratio V.R =5

effort =500N

efficiency =80%

magnitude of load=?

mechanical advantage [M.A ]

we have

efficiency =M.A/V.R*100%

80=M.A./5*100

80/100*5=M.A

M.A.=4

again

we have

M.A =load/effort

4=load/500

load=500*4

load=2000N

the magnitude of the load is 2000N.

The length of a rectangle is 3 times the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 64 cm. Show the equation that would be used to find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

64 = 2(3x + x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the rectangle = 64 cm

Width of the rectangle = x

Length of the rectangle = 3x

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

The equation is

64 = 2(3x + x)

64 = 6x + 2x

64 = 8x

x = 64/8

x = 8 cm

Width of the rectangle = x = 8 cm

Length of the rectangle = 3x

= 3(8 cm)

= 24 cm

What is the area of this polygon

Answers

Answer:

51

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approach

One is given the polygon, (ABCDE); the problem asks one to find the area of this polygon. The most logical step to take is to divide this polygon into easier parts, find the area of each part, and then add up the area to find the total area of the figure.

One way to divide this figure up is to draw the line (AC). This will create the triangle (ABC) and rectangle (ACDE).

2. Find the area of (ABC)

The formula to find the area of a triangle is the following:

[tex]A=\frac{b*h}{2}[/tex]

Where (b) is the base of the triangle, and (h) is the height. The base of the triangle (ABC) is (AC), which has a measure of (6) units. The height of the triangle is the distance from the base of the triangle to the vertex opposite the base. This measurement is (3) units. Substitute these values into the formula and solve for the area:

[tex]A=\frac{b*h}{2}[/tex]

Substitute,

[tex]A=\frac{6*3}{2}\\\\A=\frac{18}{2}\\\\A=9[/tex]

3. Find the area of (ACDE)

The formula to find the area of a rectangle is as follows:

[tex]A=b*h[/tex]

The base of the rectangle is the segment (AE), with a measure of (7) units. The height of the rectangle is the segment (AC) with a measurement of (6) units. Substitute these values into the formula and solve for the area:

[tex]A=7*6\\\\A=42[/tex]

4. Find the area of the total figure

To find the area of the total figure, add up the area of the triangle, and the area of the rectangle:

[tex]9+42= 51[/tex]
