X + y = 8
x - y = 12
--------------add
2x = 20
x = 20/2
x = 10

x + y = 8
10 + y = 8
y = 8 - 10
y = -2

ur numbers are 10 and -2

let the two numbers be: x y

x + y = 8

x - y = 12

Isolate the x in x + y = 8. Subtract y from both sides

x + y (-y) = 8 (-y)

x = 8 - y

Plug in 8 - y for x in the other equation

x - y = 12

(8 - y) - y = 12

Simplify

8 -2y = 12

Isolate the y. Subtract 8 from both sides, and then divide by -2

8 (-8) - 2y = 12 (-8)

-2y = 4

-2y/-2 = 4/-2

y = -2

Plug in -2 for y in one of the equations

x + y = 8

x + (-2) = 8

Simplify. Isolate the x. Add 2 to both sides

x - 2 (+2) = 8 (+2)

x = 10

x = 10, y = -2 is your answer

What is the y value of the vertex 4x^2+8x-8

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

The y-value of the vertex is $-12$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola into vertex form is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-h)^{2}+k$

where

(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola

In this problem we have

$f(x)=4x^{2}+8x-8$ -----> this a vertical parabola open upward

Convert to vertex form

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$f(x)+8=4x^{2}+8x$

Factor the leading coefficient

$f(x)+8=4(x^{2}+2x)$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

$f(x)+8+4=4(x^{2}+2x+1)$

$f(x)+12=4(x^{2}+2x+1)$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$f(x)+12=4(x+1)^{2}$

$f(x)=4(x+1)^{2}-12$

The vertex is the point $(-1,-12)$

The y-value of the vertex is $-12$

A spinner with 12 equally sized slices has 12 yellow slices. The dial is spun and stops on a slice at random. What is the

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

1/1

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why is because the spinner has 12 slices and on that spinner there is 12 yellow slices meaning all the slices on the spinner are yellow.

This means it is a 100% chance to land on yellow but 100% aas a fraction is 100/100.

You can simplify 100/100 a hundred times to 99/99 to 98/98 you can keep doing it but it's lowest form is the lowest number besides zero and that is 1 so it's lowest form is 1 out of 1 or 1/1 or 100%.

Hope this helps have a great afternoon:)

(1+cos2x)/(1-cos2x) = cot^2x

sesenic [268]

We will turn the left side into the right side.

$\dfrac{1 + \cos 2x}{1 - \cos2x} = \cot^2 x$
