Two numbers have a sum of 20. The sum of their squares is a minimum. Write the two equations required to solve this system of equations.
So we start of with x^2-4x+y^2+8y=-4 you would then take 1/2 of -4 and square it, then take 1/2 of 8 and square it. You would then get x^2-4x+4-4+(y^2+8y+16-16=-4. After all of these steps you would factor the square, x-2^2-4+y+42-16=-4, x-2^2+y+4^2-20=-4. Then you would add 20 to both sides, x-)^2+y+4^2=16
Find the number that 5 times itself is the same as 3 times that number plus 2.
The conception of transparency seems to be everywhere in todays time, from the products we consume as buying customers to the governments we look to in leading our nations. Social media is another refuge for transparency. With millions of people noticing, it’s difficult for any organization or individual to say one thing and do another. Supporters of the transparency movement say that it is a very good thing; after all, transparency is serving to keep people honest and up front about the products and services they sell to consumers.
About 18 miles North East of Manhattan there isn’t much around but small hills covered in crop fields and the occasional farmstead. If you drive just a little ways up King Road, just off highway 13 you will find a cemetery with a sign above two wire gates that says King’s Cemetery. There are three other names listed below King’s Cemetery, other names the grounds have been know as. One of these names is Adam’s Peak. This is rather strange considering the cemetery is not on a peak, nor is there a single stone bearing the name Adam. Upon further investigation you will find Adam’s Peak was, during the 1870’s and 80’s, a town and community.

In the year 2003 when Aron was in Utah hiking he fell in the narrow passages of Blue John Canyon which was only three feet wide, and was stuck there for five days, and seven hours, because of his arm tragically trapped in between the narrow passages of Blue John Canyon, and a heavy boulder, “I have to do something” he thought, when he found that the only way to do that is to get out the dull pocket knife he carried around with him, and cut off his own right forearm.
It was a sunny day in Bluejohn Canyon, there was no place Aron Ralston would rather be than being outside and hiking in the canyons of Utah. This beautiful day quickly turned to one of dread when Ralston slips and finds his right arm pinned to the wall in the bottom of a crevice by a boulder. With only a backpack filled with rope, a multitool and one bottle of water, Ralston must conquer both physical and mental obstacles if he is to get himself out and see his family again. The true story of Aron Ralston was made into a movie that was nominated for 6 academy awards including best picture. Expertly played by James Franco, the movie accurately depicts the horrific event.
