Answer:
(a) -6
Step-by-step explanation:
P(x) = ax^3 +bx - 3
- P(-1) = -a-b-3 = 0
- therefore a+b=-3
- P(1) = a+b-3
- P(1) = -3 - 3 = -6
- (a)
Answer:
{y,x} = {-6,-2}
Step-by-step explanation:
/ Solve equation [2] for the variable y
[2] y = 2x - 2
// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]
[1] (2x-2) - x = -4
[1] x = -2
// Solve equation [1] for the variable x
[1] x = - 2
// By now we know this much :
y = 2x-2
x = -2
// Use the x value to solve for y
y = 2(-2)-2 = -6
