Answer:
<em>The values are a=6, b=8</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>System of Equations</u>
We are given the system of equations:
ax - by = 4
bx - ay = 10
And it's known the solutions are: x=2, y=1.
Plugging in the solutions:
2a - b = 4 [1]
2b - a = 10 [2]
Now we have to solve the system above. Multiply [1] by 2:
4a - 2b = 8
Now we add with [2]:
3a = 18
a = 18/3 = 6
a = 6
From [2]:
2b - 6 = 10
2b = 16
b = 16/2 = 8
b = 8
The values are a=6, b=8
Factored: f(x) = (x-12)(x+3)
possible x values: 12 and -3
Hi!
The minimum is the lowest possibility on the graph, and the maximum is the highest.
In this graph, the highest point (the maximum) is (10,11) and the lowest point (the minimum) is (3, 1).
Hope this helps! :D
