Answer: LEAST-1/8 GREATEST-3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1. This graph is not a function, because for every y there are more than one x.
2. This graph is not linear because it is not a straight line.
3. It took them 6 hours to get to their destination.
4. The destination was 325 miles away.
5. They might have stopped at a restaurant to eat.
Part A:
We see that this pair of equations has 1 solution. On a graph, the solutions of 2 (or more) lines is where the lines intersect. In this case, since these lines intersect 1 time, they have 1 solution.
Part B:
As previously mentioned, the solutions of multiple lines is where the lines intersect. In this case, since they intersect at (4,4), that is the solution.
I'd suggest using "elimination by addition and subtraction" here, altho' there are other approaches (such as matrices, substitution, etc.).
Note that if you add the 3rd equation to the second, the x terms cancel out, and you are left with the system
- y + 3z = -2
y + z = -2
-----------------
4z = -4, so z = -1.
Next, multiply the 3rd equation by 2: You'll get -2x + 2y + 2z = -2.
Add this result to the first equation. The 2x terms will cancel, leaving you with the system
2y + 2z = -2
y + z = 4
This would be a good time to subst. -1 for z. We then get:
-2y - 2 = -2. Then y must be 0. y = 0.
Now subst. -1 for z and 0 for y in any of the original equations.
For example, x - (-1) + 3(0) = -2, so x + 1 = -2, or x = -3.
Then a tentative solution is (-3, -1, 0).
It's very important that you ensure that this satisfies all 3 of the originale quations.
The answer i got was -3te with -t as an exponent
