Answer:
(1, 3) and (4,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
The quadratic function is
We can rewrite in the form
The graph is obtained by shifting the parent quadratic function 3 units right and 1 unit down to obtain the parabola shown in the attachment.
The straight line also have equation
The slope is -1 and y-intercept is 4.
We can easily graph this straight line on the same graph as shown in the attachment.
The two graphs intersected at (4,0) and (1,3).
The solution set is therefore {(x,y)|x=4,y=0 or x=1,y=3}
Answer:
a= 5 and b=1
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve, we will follow the steps below:
2x + 3y = 7
(a-b)x + (a+b)y = 3a + b - 2
We should note that since it has infinitely many solutions then,
Hence
2/a-b = 3/a+b = 7/3a +b-2
2/a-b = 3/a+b
cross-multiply
3(a-b) = 2( a+b)
open the bracket
3a - 3b = 2a + 2b
collect like term
3a - 2a = 2b + 3b
a = 5b -------------------------------------------(1)
Similarly
3/a+b = 7/3a +b-2
cross-multiply
7(a+b) = 3(3a+b -2)
7a + 7b = 9a + 3b -6
take all the variables to the left-hand side of the equation
7a - 9a+ 7b-3b = -6
-2a + 4b = -6 ---------------------------------(2)
but a = 5b
substitute a= 5b in equation (2) and solve for b
-2(5) + 4b = -6
-10 + 4b = -6
add 10 to both-side of the equation
-10 + 10+ 4b = -6+10
4b = 4
divide both-side of the equation by 4
b = 1
substitute b= 1 in equation (1)
a = 5b
a =5(1)
a=5
Therefore, a= 5 and b=1
