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.

This is not a direct variation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct variation:

mathematical relationship between two variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one variable is equal to a constant times the other.

(y varies directly with x with a constant variation of k)

[tex]y=kx;\ k\neq0[/tex]

[tex]y=kx\qquad|\text{divide both sides by}\ x\\\\\dfrac{y}{x}=k\Rightarrow \dfrac{y}{x}=constant[/tex]

[tex]21.\\\\x=y+2\qquad|\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\x-2=y\qquad|\text{divide both sides by}\ x\\\\1-\dfrac{2}{x}=\dfrac{y}{x}\ro\dfrac{y}{x}=1-\dfrac{2}{x}\neq constant[/tex]

Answer:

9/40

Step-by-step explanation:

He needs 5/8, he already has 2/5, so still needed is 5/8-2/5.

To add or subtract fractions, the denominators must be equal.

Simplest approach is to multiply them. 8 times 5 is 40, so 40 is the new denominator we need for both fractions.

So first we convert 5/8 to 25/40.

Then we convert 2/5 to 16/40.

Now we can subtract them:

25/40 - 16/40 = 9/40.

9/40 cannot be simplified so this is the final answer.

There are some basic rules you need to know to work with fractions. If above work is too fast, comment below for deeper explanation.

The answer is 9/40.

All you need to do is subtract 5/8 - 2/5 and to do that, you would need a common denominator. So just,

5 2
— —
8 5

Multiply the two bottoms to get 40 and do the same thing with the top that you did with the bottom so....

5 x 5 = 25
— —
8 x 5 = 40

2 x 8 = 16
— —
5 x 8 = 40

Subtract 25 - 16 = 9 and keep the denominator the same so 9/40 is your answer.

A family restaurant chain wants to test the market for a new menu item: a grilled chicken sandwich with chipotle salsa. They are interested in both how to market the item and the right price to charge for it. They decide to offer the sandwich at 60 different restaurants in the chain, using two different descriptions on the menu. Half the restaurants' menus will emphasize "healthy eating" and half will emphasize "value." These two groups of restaurants will be further divided in three groups, each charging either a High, Medium, or Low price for the sandwich. After a month, they will measure what proportion of customers order the new sandwich.

V = B h Step 1: 324 pi = pi 12 squared h Step 2: 324 pi = 24 pi h Step 3: StartFraction 324 pi over 24 pi EndFraction = StartFraction 24 pi over 24 pi EndFraction h Step 4: h = 13.5 pi inches What is the first error that James made when calculating the height of the cylinder? In step 1, he substituted into the volume formula incorrectly. In step 2, he calculated 12 squared incorrectly. It should be 144 rather than 24. In step 4, the Pi should have canceled, making the correct answer 13.5 cm. James calculated the height of the cylinder correctly.
