1.  Lisa is working with the system of equations x + 2y = 7 and 2x ‒ 5y = 5. She multiplies the first equation by 2 and then sub

tracts the second equation to find 9y = 9, telling her that y = 1. Lisa then finds that x = 5. Thinking about this procedure, Lisa wonders:
There are lots of ways I could go about solving this problem. I could add 5 times the first equation and twice the second or I could multiply the first equation by ‒2 and add the second. I seem to find that there is only one solution to the two equations but I wonder if I will get the same solution if I use a different method?

What is the answer to Lisa’s question? Explain.

2.  Does the answer to the first question change if we have a system of two equations in two unknowns with no solutions? What if there are infinitely many solutions?

Answer:

1. Yes

2. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Lets test Lisa's different solution. Lets times 5 to the first equation:

5\cdot{x}+10\cdot{y}=35

and 2 times the second equation:

4\cdot{x}-10\cdot{y}=10

lets add the two equations:

9\cdot{x}=45

x=5

The second method is multiplying the first equation by -2:

-2\cdot{x}-4\cdot{y}=-14

and add the second equation:

-9\cdot{y}=-9

y=1[tex]Substitute into equation 1:[tex]x+2\cdot{1}=7

x=5

The answer to Lisa's question is yes she wull get the same solution if she uses a different method.

2. Yes, The answer would change if the same amout of x and y values are the same and therefore we cannot solve for x and y. If there was infinitely many solutions we would have quadratic equations.

All methods are supposed to be correct in most if not all situations and it should not matter if you use a different method given the options

Explain how to make a precise graph of y = -2x + 3 without making a T-Table.
kifflom [539]

Answer:

x 2 + 5 x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y = m x + c

y- intercept

x = 0

y = (-2) (0) + 3

=3

(x =0,  y = 3)

Write an equation to describe the proportional relationship in this table. Explain your thinking and how you got your answer.
creativ13 [48]

Focus on the values in red outside the table (on the left and right sides). As the output increases by 4, the input increases by 1. This leads to the slope being rise/run = 4/1 = 4. The slope is the number just to the left of the x variable. So that's how they ended up with the equation y = 4x.

You can think of it as y = 4x+0, and note how it's in the form y = mx+b

m = 4 = slope

b = 0 = y intercept

The y intercept is the value of y when x = 0.

--------

Now because x = 0 and y = 0 pair up together, we can find the slope a different way: Pick any row other than the first row. Divide the y value over its paired x value. So let's say we pick on row two and we'd get a slope of y/x = 4/1 = 4.

Or we could pick on row three and get y/x = 8/2 = 4.

Picking on the fourth row gets us the slope to be y/x = 12/3 = 4. We end up with the same slope value each time. Again, this trick only works if (x,y) = (0,0) is on the line. Otherwise, you'll need to use the first method or use the slope formula.

For equations like this, we consider them a direct proportion. As x increases, so does y. As x increases by 1, y increases by 4. This is the same throughout the table.

----------

A real world example of this could be that x represents the number of sodas you buy, and if each soda is $4, then y = 4x represents the total cost of buying x number of sodas.

For instance, if you bought x = 10 sodas, then y = 4*x = 4*10 = 40 dollars is what you spend overall.

f(x)=2x. If g(x) is a vertical stretch, compression, and or reflection of f(x) followed by a, what is the equation of g(x)?
Montano1993 [528]

The function g(x) is g(x)= (3x)^2

<h3>How to solve for g(x)?</h3>

The complete question is in the image

From the graph in the image, we have:

f(x) = x^2

The function f(x) is stretched by a factor of 3 to form g(x).

This means that:

g(x) = f(3x)

So, we have:

g(x)= (3x)^2

Hence, the function g(x) is g(x)= (3x)^2
