To solve this equation by elimination, what you would do is multiply one of the equations by -1, or distribute -1 to each term in the equation, any of the 2 equations. Then align the equations and add them together.

-(X + 3y = 3)
-X - 3y = -3

-X - 3y = -3
X + 6y = 3
__________
3y = 0
y = 0/3 = 0.

Now we can solve for x, by simply plugging the value of y into any of the 2 equations.

X + 6y = 3
X + 6(0) = 3
X + 0 = 3
X = 3.

The solution to your system of equations would be (3,0).

Check this by plugging in the point to the other equation and see if it is true.

X + 3y = 3
(3) + 3(0) = 3
3 + 0 = 3
3 = 3.

Thus it is the solution.

Which equation has the solutions x = 1+

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The last equation x2 - 2x -4 = 0

has solution (x - 1)^2 - 5 = 0, x = 1 + root(5) or x = 1 - root(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

If a quadratic function has roots 1 and 5

f(x) = (x -1)(x- 5)

f(x) = x^2 - 6x + 5

Unless you meant. -4 and 6 ?

g(x) = (x + 4)(x - 6)

g(x) = x^2 -2x -24

-------------------------

Or did you mean x = 1 and x =4 ?...

x^2 + 2x + 4 = 0 : complete square x^2 + 2x + 1 + 3 = 0, (x+1)^2 + 3 = 0

x^2 - 2x + 4 = 0 : complete square: (x -1)^2 + 3 = 0

0x^2 + 2x - 4 = 0, 2x - 4 = 0, x = 2

x^2 - 2x - 4 = 0 becomes: x^2 - 2x + 1 - 1 -4 = 0 ; (x - 1)^2 - 5 = 0

Calculus 2: I need help with u substitution and intergration by parts. Can someone help me understand the concept?

snow_lady [41]

Computing an integral by substitution is the reverse of the chain rule for computing the derivative. Substitution is intended to rewrite a complicated-looking integral involving the derivative of some component expression as another much simpler integral. For example, if $u=f(x)$ , then $\mathrm du=f'(x)\,\mathrm dx$ and

$\displaystyle\int f(x)f'(x)\,\mathrm dx=\int u\,\mathrm du$

###

Integration by parts is the reverse of the product rule for derivatives:

$(f(x)g(x))'=f'(x)g(x)+f(x)g'(x)\implies f(x)g'(x)=(f(x)g(x))'-f'(x)g(x)$

Integrating both sides with respect to $x$ gives

$\displaystyle\int f(x)g'(x)\,\mathrm dx=\int(f(x)g(x))'\,\mathrm dx-\int f'(x)g(x)\,\mathrm dx$

$\displaystyle\int f(x)g'(x)\,\mathrm dx=f(x)g(x)-\int f'(x)g(x)\,\mathrm dx$

###

Personally, I think the best way to grasp the idea behind the two methods is to practice. You start to notice patterns to the point where knowing which is the "right" method to use becomes second nature.
