8a - 4b = 20
5a - 8b = 62

Multiply the first equation by (-2):
-16a + 8b = -40
5a - 8b = 62

Sum the equations:
-16a + 5a + 8b - 8b = -40 + 62
- 11a = 22
a = 22 / -11
a = -2

Since 5a - 8b = 62 and a = -2, then:
5 * (-2) - 8b = 62
-10 - 8b = 62
-8b = 62 + 10
-8b = 72
b = 72 / -8
b = -9

What is the domain of the function f(x) = 2x /(3x^2− 3
Svet_ta [14]
The domain of the function in this case will be for when the denominator is different from zero:
 3x ^ 2- 3 = 0
 3x ^ 2 = 3
 x ^ 2 = 3/3
 x ^ 2 = 1
 x = + / - 1
 Therefore the domain of this function are all reals without including x = 1 and x = -1

Answer:

K (0,1)

L (-1,4)

M (-4,1)

N (-3,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

When you rotate a figure 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin, the points all change from (x,y) to (-y,x). Therefore the points would go from: (answers on right side)

K (1,0) ---> K (0,1)

L (4,1) ---> L (-1,4)

M (1,4) ---> M (-4,1)

N (-2,3) ---> N (-3,-2)
