Answer: There is only one solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$y=2x-5\\\\\implies 2x-y=5---------(1)\\\\-8x-4y=-20\\\\\implies 2x+y=5---------(2)$

We will check its consistency and type of line:

From eq(1)

$a_1=2\\\\b_1=-1\\\\c_1=5$

From eq(2)

$a_2=2\\\\b_2=1\\\\c_2=5$

So, it becomes,

$\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{b_2}{b_1}\\\\\frac{2}{2}=\frac{1}{-1}\\\\1\neq -1$

So, it is an intersecting line which has unique solution.

Hence, there is only one solution.

Answer:

Quadratic equations are similar to exponential equations by having a curve in the graph. Algebraically, linear functions are polynomial functions with a highest exponent of one, exponential functions have a variable in the exponent, and quadratic functions are polynomial functions with a highest exponent of two.

Answer:

$a_8=38$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Recursive sequence </u>

In a recursive sequence formula, each term $a_n$ is computed as a function of one or more previous terms. In the formula

$a_n=a_{n-1}+5$

n is the number of the term we want to calculate. If n=8, then the formula becomes

$a_8=a_{7}+5$

We can see $a_{n-1}$ is the previous term. It means we need $a_7$ to be able to compute $a_8$ . But we also need $a_6$ to compute $a_7$ and so on until some known data is reached. The question provides five terms, $a_5=23.$
