The first step in determining the solution to the system of equations, y = -x2 - 4x - 3 and y = 2x + 5, algebraically is to set

the two equations equal as -x2 - 4x -3 = 2x + 5. What is the next step?

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Next step is to gather 'like' terms

-x2 - 4x -3 = 2x + 5.

x^2 + (4x + 2x)   + (3+5)    = 0       then simplify

x^2 + 6x + 8     = 0        then factor

(x+4)(x+2) = 0  

so either of these terms = 0

x+4 = 0    means   x = -4

x+ 2 = 0 means  x = - 2

olga55 [171]

Answer:

(507.05, 592.95)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

sample mean = $550, sample standard deviation S = $60.05

95% confidence interval , n = 10

For 95% confidence interval for the mean

mean ± M.E.

where M.E. is margin of error = t_{n-1}, \alpha/2\times\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} }

Substituting the values in above equation

=t_{10-1}, 0.05/2\times\frac{60.05}{\sqrt{10} }

= 2.62×18.99

=42.955

= 550±42.95

=(507.05, 592.95)

What can be concluded about the sequence 19, 15, 11,
Mariulka [41]

Option first and option second are correct because the common difference of the sequence is the same as the slope of the graph.

<h3>What is a sequence?</h3>

It is defined as the systematic way of representing the data that follows a certain rule of arithmetic.

The question is incomplete.

The question is:

What can be concluded about the sequences 19, 15, 11, 7, . . . represented on the graph? Check all that apply.

  • The common difference of the sequence is the same as the slope of the graph.
  • The slope of the graph is –4.
  • The next term in the sequence is represented by point (4, 3).
  • f(x) = –4x + 19 represents the sequence.
  • An infinite number of points can be determined to follow this sequence.

The graph is attached to the picture please refer to the graph.

We have an arithmetic sequence:

19, 15, 11, 7,...

The first term is:

a = 19

Common difference d = 15-19 = -4

The nth term:

a(n) = 19 + (n-1)(-4)

a(n) = 19 -4n + 4

a(n) = -4n + 23

We can write above expression as:

f(x) = -4x + 23

Slope of the equation = -4

The correct options are:

  • The common difference of the sequence is the same as the slope of the graph.
  • The slope of the graph is –4.

Thus, an option first and option second are correct because the common difference of the sequence is the same as the slope of the graph.

PLS HELP IM FAILING MATH!
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

1. Never true

2. Never true

3. Bad question!  Typo? (see discussion below)

4. Always true

5. Always false

Step-by-step explanation:

1. x - 13 = x + 1.  Subtract  x  from both sides of the equation, and you get -13 = 1.  False!  (Never true!)

2.  x + 1/2 = x - 1/2.  Subtract x from both sides:  1/2 = - 1/2.  False! (Never true!)

3. This one's weird, with two equal signs.  That's not unusual; multiple equal signs are often used when a chain of equalities is being displayed.  For instance, you can write  (3)(2x + 5) = (3)(2x) + (3)(5) = 6x + 15.  That's an example of the Distributive Property--the 3 is multiplied by both of the terms inside parentheses (shown after the first equal sign), then actually doing those multiplications produces the expression after the second equal sign.

OK!  This question says 2(x + 3) = 5x = 6 - 3x.  Take it in two parts.

a. 2(x + 3) = 5x   Distribute the 2.

2x + 6 = 5x   Now subtract 2x from both sides.

6 = 3x   Divide both sides by 3.

2 = x  So that first part is true only when x = 2.  Gaa!  That's not one of your answer choices.  Now, check out the second part

b.  5x = 6 - 3x  Add 3x to both sides.

8x = 6   Divide by 8

x = 6/8 = 3/4

It doesn't help to use the first and <u>third</u> expressions, either.

2(x + 3) = 6 - 3x   Distribute the 2

2x + 6 = 6 - 3x  Add 3x.

5x + 6 = 6   Subtract 6.

5x = 0   Divide by 5

x = 0

None of these is always false.  None of these is always true.

4.  x - 3 = 2x - 3 - x   Simplify the right side by combining the x terms.

x - 3 = x - 3  Aha!  Same expression on both sides!  Always true

5.  3(x - 5) = 2(x - 5) + x  Distribute the 3. Distribute the 2.

3x - 15 = 2x - 10 + x  Combine the x terms on the right.

3x - 15 = 3x - 10  Subtract 3x

-15 = -10  (Always false!)

The answer is five because if you go for -3 that’s one in 8-6 is two and if you add one and three that’s for sure the only one you need is five and that would be just make no sense at all
