\bf x^2-\underline{b} x+b\implies \stackrel{given}{(x-2)}~(x-y)\impliedby \textit{now let's do some FOIL}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
-yx-2x=-\underline{b}x\implies y+2=\underline{b}\\
(-2)(-y)=b\implies 2y=b
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\underline{b}=b\implies y+2=2y\implies 2=y

what is b?   from the first equation in the system, y + 2 = b.

What is the solution to this system of linear equations? x − 3y = −2 x + 3y = 16
True [87]

Answer:

so x=5 1/3 and

y= -2 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

x-3y= -2x+3y=16. First we need to move all variables to one side of the equation and whole numbers to the other side of the equation. I see

x-3y+2x-3y=16. -3y-3y equals to -6y. 2x+x=3x. so 3x-6y=16. Lets take out the -6y so our equation would be 3x=16. x would equal 5 1/3. Now lets put back -6y into our equation. Let's now substitute x as 0. 3 times 0 equals 0 so our equation would now be -6y=16 which equals to -2 2/3.

so x=5 1/3 and

y= -2 2/3

Answer this graph based Question I will provide you 50 points + make you brainliest.​
bearhunter [10]

Part a: The value of y is 11 for x = 2.

Part b: The graph for the function y = x² + 4x -1 is drawn.

Part c: Range; (-∞,-3.75]∪[-0.25,∞)

Part d: The function is  y =  -5 - (x + 2)².

Part e: The approximate value of √3  is 1.732.

<h3>What is defined as the term function?</h3>
  • A function is an expression, rule, or law in mathematics that defines a relationship between one dependent variable (a independent variable) and also one more variable (the dependent variable).
  • Functions are common in mathematics and are required for the formulation of actual relationships with in sciences.

For the given function;

y = x² + 4x -1, the values of y for the corresponding x is given in tables shown.

Part a: value of y when x = 2.

Put x = 2 in the function;

y = x² + 4x -1

y = 2² + 4×2 -1

y = 11

The value of y is 11 for x = 2.

Part b: The graph for the function y = x² + 4x -1 is drawn using the scale of 10 small divisions as 1 unit along x and y axis.

Part c: Range of value of x for which y ≥ -2.

Locate the point of x from the graph for which the value of y  y ≥ -2.

Range; (-∞,-3.75]∪[-0.25,∞)

Part d: The function in the form of y = k - (x - h)², where k and h are the vertex.

The vertex from the graph is found as (-2, -5) (h, k)

Putt in the equation;

y = k - (x - h)²

y = -5 - (x - (-2))²

y =  -5 - (x + 2)²

Part e: 2 - √3 is the root of the equation 0 = x² + 4x -1.

It  2 - √3 is the root of the equation, then by putting this value at x the equation becomes zero.

The approximate value of √3  is 1.732 which is found by long division method.
