Sally had about a half cup of pudding. If you make both numbers have the same denominator, you would get 8/36 and 9/36. Add them together, and you get 17/36, which is almost half.

Answer:

(0, 1).

Method 1 (Substitution):

Substituting our two y's, we get the following:

x^2 + 5x + 1 = x^2 + 2x + 1 \Rightarrow 3x = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0

Thus, the only set of solutions is (0, 1). A quick sketch (either by hand or on Desmos) can confirm this.

Method 2 (Elimination):

We have two equations. We'll let the top one be equation 1 and the bottom one be equation 2. Eliminating as many variables as we can, we subtract (2) from (1) to get:

0 = 3x => x = 0.

So the only set of solutions is (0, 1).

Method 3 (Gaussian elimination):

We can place this in an augmented matrix and row reduce.

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&5&1 & 1\\1&2&1 & 1\end{array}\right]

Row reducing this gives us:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&5&1 & 1\\0&3&0 & 0\end{array}\right]

This tells us that the only solution for x is x = 0 (since we read this as "3x = 0") and thus, the only solution we get is (0, 1).

The length of a rectangle is 5 centimeters less than twice its width. Its area is 42 square centimeters. Find the dimensions of
Mila [183]

Answer:

width=6cm, lenth is 7cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width of rectangle be x cm

Twice width=2x cm

length=2x-5 cm

Area of the rectangle= L× W =42cm²

(2x-5) × x =42

x(2x-5)=42

2x²-5x-42=0

solving the quadratic equation

x=6cm

width=6cm

length= (2×6)- 5 =7cm

True [87]

Answer:

a) -2 and 4

b) function 2

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

rate of change is rise over run: change in y / change in x.

function 1:

- i will use first 2 pairs of data

- change in y: 5 - 3 = 2

- change in x: -2 - (-1) = -1

-rate of change = 2/-1 = -2

function 2:

- same idea, but find two points on the graph!

- (0,4) and (-1,0) for example! pick easy points

- change in y is 4. chabge in x is 1

- rate of change is 4

b)

function b has greatest rate of change. 4 > -2
