Answer:

8 and 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two unknown numbers be a and b.

When added together, they equal 17. In other words:

a + b = 17.

The <em>difference</em> between five times the first number and three times the second number is 13. In other words:

5a - 3b = 13.

We have a system of equations. We can use substitution. From the first equation, we can derive a = 17 - b. Let's substitute this in:

5(17 - b) - 3b = 13

85 - 5b - 3b = 13

-8b = -72

b = 9

a = 17 - b.

a = 17 - 9 = 8.

Thus, the two numbers are 8 and 9.

Answer:

As x approaches 0, f(x)=2

Step-by-step explanation:

First plug in f(x) and f(0) into the limit.

$\lim_{x \to 0\0} 2x^2+1-(2(0^2)+1)/x^2\\\\$ , simplify things a bit

$\lim_{x \to \ 0} 2x^2/x^2$ , divide by x^2

$\lim_{x \to \ 0} 2/1=2$ , as x approaches 0, f(x)=2

SOMEONE PLZ HELP ME WITH 10 and 8!!!!!

Allisa [31]

Answer:

10. $23.75^{o}$

8. $34.76^{o}$

Step-by-step explanation:

10. each step is 36, so i added it twice to get 72.

then add 16 twice = 32

this gives us two sides to our triangle.

We can now use tan since we know opp and adj

tan 32/72 = .44

arctan = 23.75

8. since we again know the opposite and adjacent sides to the angle e are trying to find we can use tan again.

tan 12.5/18 = .694

arctan= 34.76
