Hey there!!

Equations given :

y = x² - x - 20 -------- ( 1 )

y = 3x - 15 ------------ ( 2 )

Now, lets first solve for the 1st equation ...

... x² - x - 20

We can write -x as -5x + 4x

... x² + 4x - 5x - 20

... x ( x + 4 ) - 5 ( x + 4 )

... ( x - 5 ) ( x + 4 )

y = ( x - 5 ) ( x - 4 )

Now, let's solve the second equation ...

y = 3x - 15

... y = 3 ( x - 5 )

We have two equations, now getting them together..

3 ( x - 5 ) = ( x - 5 ) ( x - 4 )

Divide by x-5 on both sides

3 = x - 4

Add 4 on both sides

x = 7

The value of x is 7

Now substituting this, we get the value of y

We have,

y = 3x - 15

... y = 3(7 ) - 15

... y = 21 - 15

... y = 6

Hence, the ordered pair is ( 7 , 6 )

Hope my answer helps!

What pattern do you see in the powers of 4?
Studentka2010 [4]
<span>Pattern did the power of 4 shows:
Let’s have an example of the power of 4
=> 4 will be multiplied 4 times
=> 4 x 4 = 16
=> 16 x 4 = 64
=> 64 x 4 = 256
=> 256 x 4 = 1024
=> 1024 x 4 = 4096
=> 4096 x 4 = 16384
………………..

Did you notice the pattern? The last number of each answer always ends up with 4 and followed by 6.</span>

Dina has a mass of 50 kilograms and is waiting at the top of a ski slope that’s 5.0 meters high. What is her potential energy
Bess [88]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for potential energy is PE = m*g*h

where

m is the mass, in kg

g is the acceleration due to gravity, in meters per second squared, and

h is the height, in meters

The problem gives m = 50, g = 9.8, and h = 5. We plug that into the formula and get out answer. So:

PE=mgh\\PE=(50)(9.8)(5)\\PE=2450

Correct answer is C.
