Answer: The two numbers are 151 and 66.

Step-by-step explanation: We are to find the two numbers whose sum is 217 and difference is 85.

Let, 'x' and 'y' represents the two numbers, where x > y.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$x+y=217~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\x-y=85~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)$

Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get

$x+x=217+85\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=302\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{302}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow x=151,$

and from equation (i), we get

$y=217-x=217-151=66.$

Therefore, x = 151 and y = 66.

Thus, the two numbers are 151 and 66.

Definition of vertical line test

Serhud [2]

the vertical line test is a graphical way to determine whether or not the graph is a function of x

if you can draw a vertical line on a graph and cross the graph at least 2 times, the graph is not a function

a function will have 1 y value for every x value, therefore, if we can draw a vertical line (x=c, a constant) that intersects the curve at more than 1 point, then that point where it intersects at more than 1 point is where 1 value of x coresponds to more than 1 value of y and is therefore not a function

Circle V is shown. Line segment T V is a radius with length 14 feet.

lawyer [7]

We have been given graph of circle V with radius 14 feet. We are asked to find the area of the circle V.

We will use area of circle formula to solve our given problem.

$A=\pi r^2$ , where r represents radius of circle.

Upon substituting $r=\text{14 ft}$ in above formula, we will get:

$A=\pi(14\text{ ft})^2$

$A=\pi(14)^2\text{ ft}^2$

$A=\pi\cdot 196\text{ ft}^2$

$A=196\pi\text{ ft}^2$

Therefore, the area of the circle V is $196\pi$ square feet and option 'c' is the correct choice.

Need help please :( What is the second term of (s+v)^5?

Citrus2011 [14]

First compute the coefficient like this:
$C_5^1=\frac{5!}{1!(5-1)!}=\frac{5!}{4!}=\frac{5\times4!}{4!}$
Simplifying the fraction over 4! we get:
$C_5^1=5$
and the variables are $s^4v$ . So answer $5s^4v$ .

The correct answer is C then.
