Solve the system of equations: y=2x y=x²-8

1 answer:

6 0

Set equal to each other
x^2 - 8 = 2x
x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0

Factor
(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0
x = 4 or x = -2

Plug in 4
y = 2x or y = x^2 - 8
y = 2(4) or y = 4^2 - 8
y = 8

Plug in -2
y = 2x or y = x^2 - 8
y = 2(-2) or y = (-2)^2 - 8
y = -4

There are two solutions
(4, 8) and (-2, -4)

What times what equals 22 bit adds/sub to 11

mixer [17]

The only whole numbers that multiply together to equal 22 are 1 x 22, and 2 x 11.
Unfortunately, neither of these pairs add OR subtract to equal 11.

Fill in the steps to solve the log log base x of (2x)^3=6

arsen [322]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

logx (2x)^3 = 6

We can rewrite without the exponent

3 logx (2x) = 6

Divide by 3

3/3 logx (2x) = 6/3

logx (2x) = 2

Raise each side to the base x

x^ logx (2x) =x^ 2

2x = x^2

Subtract 2x from each side

2x-2x = x^2 -2x

0 = x^2 -2x

Factor an x

0 = x(x-2)

Using the zero product property

x =0 x-2 =0

x =0 x=2

We cannot have a base of 0, so x cannot equal 0

x=2

Using a sheet of graph paper, solve the following system of equations graphically. Be sure to show any work, use a straight edge

madam [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system is

$\left \{ {{x+y=0} \atop {x-y+2=0}} \right.$

If we graph, the solution would be the interception point between these two lines, because each linear equation represents a line. The lines are attached.

In the graph, you can observe that the solution is the point (-1,1), that is x = -1 and y = 1.

Now, if we want to solve this system by another method, we can just sum both equations and solve for <em>x</em>

$\left \{ {{x+y=0} \atop {x-y+2=0}} \right.$

$2x+2=0\\x=\frac{-2}{2}=-1$
