When given a system of equations, the "solutions" are defined where two equations intersect, or meet.
A. The point where the lines p(x) and g(x) meet is (3, -1), and thus this is considered the solution set.
B. Because there are three lines in total, g(x) is able to intersect both lines one time, and so it has two pairs of solutions.
The first is (3, -1), which has already been established with p(x).
The second is (0, 5), and this is where it intersects with f(x).
C. The solution to f(x) = g(x) is 0, as this is the only x value where both equations are equal.
Hope my answer helped!
Assume that the rule connecting height of the candle to time is a linear one. If you do, then we have to find the equation of this line, and then use this equation to predict the height of the candle after 11 hours.
Two points on this line are (6,17.4) and (23, 7.2). The slope is thus
7.2-17.4 -6
m = --------------- = ----------- or -3/5.
23-6 10
Find the equation of the line. I'm going to use the slope-intercept formula:
y = mx + b => 7.2 = (-3/5)(23) + b. Solving for b, b = 21.
Now we know that y = (-3/5)x + 21
Let x=11 to predict the height of the candle at that time.
y = (-3/5)(11) + 21 = 14.4 inches (answer)
Answer:
9.25, 83^1/2, 8.7, 72^1/2, 2 From greatest to least
2, 72^1/2, 8.7, 83^1/2, 9.25 from least to greatest
Step-by-step explanation:
I think the answer is stage left because if you flip your view point, you'll get stage left.
Hopefully that helped! :)
