Solve the system of equations using substitution y=x-1 and y=-2x+5

1 answer:

7 0

Since the two equations equal y, set them equal to each other.

x-1=-2x+5

From there, solve for x.

First get x on one side, by using the addition property of equality.

x-1=-2x+5
3x-1=5

Isolate x by adding 1.
3x=6

Lastly get x all by itself by dividing each side by 3.
x=2

You can now substitute your x-value, 2, into one of the equations (or both, if you wish; either one will result in the same answer.)

y=x-1
y=2-1
y=1

OR

y=-2x+5
y=-2(2)+5
y=-4+5
y=1

Final answer:
x=2 and y=1

Any questions or anything you would like me to clarify, feel free to ask :)

How to tell if an ordered pair is a solution to a function

Evgen [1.6K]

A) yes
B) yes
C) no

For each of these, substitute the value of x in the ordered pair into x in the function.

For A, x = -5; -5<2, so the piece of the function we want is f(x) = 3. In our ordered pair, y=f(x)=3, so yes, it is a solution.

For B, x = 2; 2≤2<6, so the piece of the function we want is f(x) = -x+1. In our ordered pair, y=f(x)=-1; -2+1=-1, so yes, it is a solution.

For C, x = 8; 8≥6, so the piece of the function we want is f(x) = x. In our ordered pair, y=f(x)=-7; -7≠8, so no, it is not a solution.

Solve 5x^2 - 7x + 2 = 0 by completing the square.

Reika [66]

Answer: The correct option is (c) $\dfrac{49}{100}.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following quadratic equation by the method of completing the square:

$5x^2-7x+2=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

Also, we are to find the constant added on both sides to form the perfect square trinomial.

We have from equation (i) that

$5x^2-7x+2=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^2-\dfrac{7}{5}x+\dfrac{2}{5}=0\\\\\\\Rightarrow x^2-2\times x\times \dfrac{7}{10}+\left(\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2+\dfrac{2}{5}=\left(\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left(x-\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2=\dfrac{49}{100}-\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left(x-\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2=\dfrac{49-40}{100}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left(x-\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2=\dfrac{9}{100}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x-\dfrac{7}{10}=\pm\dfrac{3}{10}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\pm\dfrac{3}{10}+\dfrac{7}{10}.$

So,

$x=\dfrac{3}{10}+\dfrac{7}{10},~~~~~~~~x=-\dfrac{3}{10}+\dfrac{7}{10}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{10}{10},~~~~~~~~\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{-3+7}{10}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=1,~-\dfrac{2}{5}.$

Thus, the required solution is $x=1,~-\dfrac{2}{5}.$ and the value of the constant added is $\dfrac{49}{100}.$

Option (c) is correct.

Which function is quadratic?

AveGali [126]

Answer:

g(x) is a quadratic function ⇒ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic function is the function that has 2 as the greatest power of the variable

The form of the quadratic function is f(x) = ax² + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constant

Let us use the information above to solve the question

∵ f(x) = $1.5^{x}$

∵ x is the exponent of the base 1.5

→ That means f(x) is not in the form of the quadratic function

∴ f(x) is not in the form of the quadratic function above

∴ f(x) does not represent a quadratic function

∴ f(x) is not a quadratic function

∵ g(x) = 500x² + 345x

∴ The greatest power of x is 2

→ That means g(x) is in the form of the quadratic function above

∵ g(x) is in the form of the quadratic function above, where a = 500,

b = 345, and c = 0 (constant values)

∴ g(x) represents a quadratic function

∴ g(x) is a quadratic function
