Answer:

(9, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

I'd strongly suggest that you write these two equations one above the other:

x-2y=3

2x-3y=9

Let's eliminate x by addition / subtraction:  Multiply the first equation by -2 to obtain -2x in the first row over +2x in the second row:

-2x + 4y = -6

2x -  3y =  9

--------------------

           y = 3

Now subst. 3 for y in the first equation:  x - 2y = 3 becomes:

x - 2(3) = 3, or

x = 6 + 3  =  9

The solution is (9, 3).

Determine the intercepts of the line.
sergey [27]

Answer:

  y-intercept: (0, 5/2)

  x-intercept: (5/3, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is found by setting x=0 and dividing by the coefficient of y.

  0 +2y = 5

  y = 5/2

The x-intercept is found by setting y=0 and dividing by the coefficient of x.

  3x +0 = 5

  x = 5/3

The intercepts are ...

  y-intercept: (0, 5/2)

  x-intercept: (5/3, 0)

If f(1) = 0, what are all the roots of the function f(x)=x^3+3x^2-x-3? Use the Remainder Theorem.
Sophie [7]
There's no if about it, 

f(x)=x^3+3x^2-x-3


has a zero f(1)=0 so x-1 is a factor.   That's the special case of the Remainder Theorem; since f(1)=0 we'll get a remainder of zero when we divide f(x) by x-1.

At this point we can just divide or we can try more little numbers in the function.  It doesn't take too long to discover f(-1)=0 too, so  x+1 is a factor too by the remainder theorem.  I can find the third zero as well; but let's say that's out of range for most folks.

So far we have 

x^3+3x^2-x-3 = (x-1)(x+1)(x-r)

where r is the zero we haven't guessed yet.  Again we could divide f(x) by (x-1)(x+1)=x^2-1 but just looking at the constant term we must have

-3 = -1 (1)(-r) = r

so

x^3+3x^2-x-3 = (x-1)(x+1)(x+3)

We check f(-3)=(-3)^3+3(-3)^2 -(-3)-3 = 0 \quad\checkmark

We usually talk about the zeros of a function and the roots of an equation; here we have a function f(x) whose zeros are

x=1, x=-1, x=-3
