Solve the simultaneous equations y=2-5x y = x² – 2x – 8

Mathematics

1 answer:

Aloiza [94]1 year ago

8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sub equation 1 into 2

2-5x=x²-2x-8

0=x²-2x+5x-8-2

0=x²+3x-10

0=(x-2)(x+5)

x=2 or x=-5

sub x into equation 1

y=2-5(2) or y=2-5(-5)

y=-8 y=27

A box of small crackers holds 4 equal servings. If there are 124 crackers in the box, how many crackers are in each serving?

kotykmax [81]

For this equation, we can simply divide the box's total (124) by 4 servings. 124/4 = 31. So, there is 31 crackers per serving.

On what interval(s) is the graph decreasing? - use interval notation

Anna [14]

The function is decreasing from -6 to -3, that is, on the interval (-6,-3), and again on the interval (1, infinity).

The function is increasing on (-3,1).

No local or absolute minimum.

(1,4) is an absolute max.

(b) Paul uses the function y = 8x + 40 to model the situation. What score does the model predict for 3 h of homework? WILL MARK

Bess [88]

Assuming that $x$ is the amount of hours spent doing homework:

Plug in $3$ for $x$

$y = 8(3)+40$ , $y=64$

That means that since a $y$ value is the test score (because that's what the y-axis is labeled), your predicted test score is a 64.
