Solve the system of equations. x+y=4 y=x^2 - 8x + 16 a) {(-3,7).(-4, 8)} b) [(4,0)} c) {(3,1),(4,0) d) {(3,7). (4.0)} e) none

Answer: The required solution of the given system is

(x, y) = (3, 1) and (4, 0).

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following system of equations :

$x+y=4~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\y=x^2-8x+16~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)$

From equation (i), we have

$x+y=4\\\\\Rightarrow y=4-x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iii)$

Substituting the value of y from equation (iii) in equation (ii), we get

$y=x^2-8x+16\\\\\Rightarrow 4-x=x^2-8x+16\\\\\Rightarrow x^2-8x+16-4+x=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^2-7x+12=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^2-4x-3x+12=0\\\\\Rightarrow x(x-4)-3(x-4)=0\\\\\Rightarrow (x-3)(x-4)=0\\\\\Rightarrow x-3=0,~~~~~~~x-4=0\\\\\Rightarrow x=3,~4.$

When, x = 3, then from (iii), we get

$y=4-3=1.$

And, when x = 4, then from (iii), we get

$y=4-4=0.$

Thus, the required solution of the given system is

(x, y) = (3, 1) and (4, 0).

Can a -150/10 be classified as both a rational number and a integer

irakobra [83]

Yes! This is because -150/10 can be simplified to be -15, which is a rational number.

The word “rational” sounds like another math word you’ve heard of before. Do you know what it is?

Well, it’s “ratio”!! Ratios can be seen in the forms x:y and x/y.

ANY RATIONAL NUMBER HAS THE ABILITY TO BE WRITTEN AS A RATIO!! This will completely exclude numbers with super long decimal points (ex: 1.2345678809928374737272828...)

This number also meets the requirements of being an integer. An integer is any whole number (this excludes decimals and fractions)

I know it’s written as a fraction. However, the fraction could be simplified, making it -15, which means this is both a rational number and an integer!!
