Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

To start with, we can solve for y in 4x + 2y = 6. We want to find the y so we can insert it into our second equation to find out what our x-variable is.

We are going to want to get y by itself, so we can subtract the positive 4x and move it onto the right side.

4x + 2y = 6

2y + 4x - 4x = 6 - 4x

2y = 6 - 4x

2y = -4x + 6

Now that we have this, we still want to get y by itself. Y has a coefficient in front of it, so we are going to want to get rid of that. Because y is being multiplied by 2, we can do the opposite and divide the entire equation by 2. The 2y would be divided by 2, the -4x would be divided by 2, and the 6 would be divided by 2.

This leaves us with: y = -2x + 3.

Now that we know what our y is equal to, we can insert this into our second equation of x - y = 3.

x - y = 3

Let's replace y with what we now know y is equivalent to: -2x + 3.

x - (-2x) + 3.

Subtracting a negative number is equivalent to addition, so we can turn that into an addition sign now:

x + 2x + 3

3x + 3 = 0

Remembering the question, we want to get the x variable alone because that is what we want to solve for. Let's do that now by moving the 3 onto the right side. Since we are adding it, we can subtract it to move it over. Like this:

3x + 3 = 0

3x + 3 - 3 = 0 - 3

3x = -3

Now, like we did in the beginning of this problem, we want the x alone, and because it is being multiplied by x, we can divide the entire problem by 3. -3 will get divided by 3 which will give us -1.

x = -1

Find the center and radius of (x + 9)^2 + (y + 6)^2 = 9.
VARVARA [1.3K]
You can do this by comparing your equation to the general form of equation of a circle

( x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2       where (a,b) is the centre and r = radius:-
(x  + 9)^2   (y + 6)^2 = 9 

so (a,b) = (-9,-6)  and r = 3

so the answer is B

Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation. If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth.
likoan [24]

Answer:

Thus, the two root of the given quadratic equation x^2+4=6x is 5.24 and 0.76 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider, the given Quadratic equation, x^2+4=6x

This can be written as ,  x^2-6x+4=0

We have to solve using quadratic formula,

For a given quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c=0 we can find roots using,

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}  ...........(1)

Where,  \sqrt{b^2-4ac} is the discriminant.

Here, a = 1 , b = -6 , c = 4

Substitute in (1) , we get,

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

\Rightarrow x=\frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4\cdot 1 \cdot (4)}}{2 \cdot 1}

\Rightarrow x=\frac{6\pm\sqrt{20}}{2}

\Rightarrow x=\frac{6\pm 2\sqrt{5}}{2}

\Rightarrow x={3\pm \sqrt{5}}

\Rightarrow x_1={3+\sqrt{5}} and \Rightarrow x_2={3-\sqrt{5}}

We know \sqrt{5}=2.23607(approx)

Substitute, we get,

\Rightarrow x_1={3+2.23607}(approx) and \Rightarrow x_2={3-2.23607}(approx)

\Rightarrow x_1={5.23607}(approx) and \Rightarrow x_2=0.76393}(approx)

Thus, the two root of the given quadratic equation x^2+4=6x is 5.24 and 0.76 .

Determine whether the relation is a function: {(6, 1), (8, –3), (6, 7)}.
ICE Princess25 [194]

Hello there! The answer would be the first one, or No. At least one output results in two inputs.

When dealing with functions: you must remember that x does not repeat. So, lets look at the relation given, {(6, 1), (8, –3), (6, 7)}. You can see that x does repeat, so this is not a function. This eliminates second and fourth option choices. Out of the options A and C, A would be your choice since x is the input value and y is the output value, and there are two input values.

Hope his helps and have a  great day!
