So we have the new system of equations:
Now add the equations together. You can do this by simply adding the two left sides and the two right sides separately like this:
 Group like terms.
 Combine like terms.
 Simplify.
 Divide both sides by  to isolate  .
 Reduce.
------------------------------------------------------------------
 Now go back to the first equation.
 Plug in  .
 Subtract  from both sides.
 Combine like terms on the right side.
 Divide both sides by  to isolate  .

Answer 176673 by jim_thompson5910(13794) on 2009-11-20 22:12:32 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Remember the sum of two numbers is simply the result of adding them. So the sum of x and y is  . In this particular problem, the first addend is the unknown number 'x' and the second addend is 36 times its reciprocal. In other words, the second number is
So add these two expressions to get:  and set that equal to -13 to get
I'll let you take it from here. All you need to do now is solve  for 'x'.

Probability-and-statistics/240502: A party host gives a door prize to one guest chosen at random. There are 47 men and 40 women at the party. What is the probability that the prize goes to a woman?

Answer 176198 by jim_thompson5910(13794) on 2009-11-18 18:30:59 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Since there are 47 men and 40 women, this means that there are 47+40=87 people total.
Probability prize goes to woman = # of women/# total = 40/87 = 0.4597
which is about a 45.97% chance

Sequences-and-series/240453: I have a number series
12,10,16,17,8,6,18....
The question is to find the next two numbers in the series
I know the answer is that the next two numbers are 19,4
I have no idea how this was figured out can you help at all 1 solutions
Answer 176190 by jim_thompson5910(13794) on 2009-11-18 18:20:01 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!The unfortunate part of sequences and series is that there is usually more than one answer. However, if you know what to look for, then it's not so bad.
Try breaking up the sequence to get:
12,10, 16,17, 8,6, 18
Notice how the red terms are decreasing by 2 while the blue terms are increasing by 1. The red and blue terms alternate in sets of 2. In other words, there are two subsequences (a smaller sequence) alternating every two terms. So up next is a blue term.
To get the next term, add 1 to the last blue term to get 18+1=19. After that, subtract 2 from the last red term to get 6-2=4.
So the next two terms are 19 and 4. The obvious problem with this solution is that you have to know the answer to have an idea of what to do here. However, it is possible to just stumble onto it.

Angles/238890: The angles are supplementary:
Angle A; x-9
Angle B; 2x-3
What is x?

Answer 175516 by jim_thompson5910(13794) on 2009-11-14 21:54:52 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Hint: Since the angles are supplementary, this means that the angles add to 180 degrees. Algebraically, this means that  . So solve this equation for 'x' to find 'x' and the two angles.

Answer 175464 by jim_thompson5910(13794) on 2009-11-14 14:21:11 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Let  . So the expression  then becomes
Looking at the expression  , we can see that the first coefficient is  , the second coefficient is  , and the last term is  .
Now multiply the first coefficient  by the last term  to get  .
Now the question is: what two whole numbers multiply to  (the previous product) and add to the second coefficient  ?
To find these two numbers, we need to list all of the factors of  (the previous product).
Factors of  :
1
-1
Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations.
These factors pair up and multiply to  .
1*1 = 1
(-1)*(-1) = 1
Now let's add up each pair of factors to see if one pair adds to the middle coefficient  :
| First Number | Second Number | Sum | | 1 | 1 | 1+1=2 | | -1 | -1 | -1+(-1)=-2 |
From the table, we can see that the two numbers  and  add to  (the middle coefficient).
So the two numbers  and  both multiply to and add to
Now replace the middle term  with  . Remember,  and  add to  . So this shows us that  .
 Replace the second term  with  .
 Group the terms into two pairs.
 Factor out the GCF  from the first group.
 Factor out  from the second group. The goal of this step is to make the terms in the second parenthesis equal to the terms in the first parenthesis.
 Combine like terms. Or factor out the common term
 Condense the terms.
So  factors to  .
In other words,  .
Now plug in  to go from  to  . Now simplify to get

Answer:
So  factors to  .

You can put this solution on YOUR website!First you have to convert  into polar form +i\sin(\theta)\right)) .
To do that, use the formulas  and
In this case, we're given  which means that  and  . So  and
So this means that the rectangular expression  is equivalent to the polar form +i\sin(\frac{\pi}{4})\right)) .
From here, we can now use De Moivre's Theorem. De Moivre's Theorem states that if +i\sin(\theta)\right)) , then
Since +i\sin(\frac{\pi}{4})\right)) , using De Moivre's Theorem gets us
+i\sin(3\pi)\right)) ... Evaluate  to the 12th power to get
+i\sin(3\pi)\right)) ... Evaluate 2 to the 6th power to get 64
