Hi there!

We are given the equation:
x² - 2y = 7
To verify if each ordered pair is apart of the function, we can plug in their respective x and y values:
1. (5)² - 2(8) = 7
25 - 16 = 9 ≠ 7. This is NOT correct.
2. (-1)² - 2(-3) = 7
1 + 6 = 7. This is correct.
3. (-4)² - 2(-11.5) = 7
16 + 23 = 39 ≠ 7. This is NOT correct.
4. (1.2)² - 2(-2.78) = 7
1.44 +5.56 = 7. This is correct.
Thus, only 1 and 4 are the correct answers.
Answer:
a. 
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is;

To solve by the x-intercept method we need to graph the corresponding function using a graphing calculator or software.
The corresponding function is

The solution to
is where the graph touches the x-axis.
We can see from the graph that; the x-intercepts are;
(-1,0),(3,0) and (6,0).
Therefore the real solutions are:

Answer:The number of dollars that he will receive if he exchanged 42.7 pesos is $2.3058
Step-by-step explanation:
The current exchange rate is
1 peso = 0.054 dollars.
After a trip to Mexico, Jose converted all his pesos back to dollars. The number of dollars that he will receive if he exchanged 42.7 pesos would be 42.7×0.054 = $2.3058
