In this question, you have to use the Pythagorean theorem. (the formula is in the box, ‘a squared’ and ‘b squared’ is used to find the legs of the triangle, while the ‘c squared’ in the formula is used to find the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Our system of equations is:
y = -3x + 9
y = -x - 5
To solve this system of equations, we are going to use substitution. This means that we are going to substitute the second equation into the first equation since both are already solved for y in terms of x.
y = -3x + 9
-x - 5 = -3x + 9
Now, we must simplify by moving all of the constant terms to one side of the equation and all of the variable terms to the other side.
-x - 5 = -3x + 9
2x - 5 = 9
2x = 14
Finally, to undo the multiplication between the coefficient 2 and the variable x, we must divide both sides by 2 to get the variable x alone.
x = 7
Next, we must substitute in this value we have solved for x into one of the original equations to solve for the other variable, y.
y = -3x + 9
y = -3(7) + 9
To simplify, we must multiply through the parentheses and combine like terms by addition.
y = -21 + 9
y = -12
Therefore, your final answer is x = 7 and y = -12, or as an ordered pair (7, -12).
Hope this helps!
Suppose you are given the two functions f (x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = –x2 + 5. Composition means that you can plug g(x) into f (x). This is written as "( f o g)(x)", which is pronounced as "f-compose-g of x". And "( f o g)(x)" means " f (g(x))".
Answer:
t=8
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 12t from both sides
(12t-12t) + 16 = (13t-12t) + 24
16 = 1t (or just t) + 24
Then subtract 16 from both sides, and bring "t" over the equals sign making it a negative integer.
-t = 8
t = 8
Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
GC and BD are 2 intersecting chords thus the measure of the angle formed is
∠DFC = 0.5( m arc CD + m arc BG ), that is
0.5(55 + BG) = 40 ( multiply both sides by 2 )
55 + BG = 80 ( subtract 55 from both sides )
BG = 25
