Answer: 13&7

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers x&y is 20

Product of the 2numbers xy is 51

X+y=20......equation 1

XY=51.........equation 2

X=20-y.......equation 3

Substitute for x inequation 3 into equation 2

So we have;

(20-y)y=51

Open the bracket

20y-y^2=51

Collect like terms,so we have

Y2-20y+51=0

Factorise

Factors of 51 is 13&7

So -13-7=-20 &-13×-7=51

Substitute

Y2-13y-7y+51=0

Y(y-13)-7(y-13)=0

(Y-7)(y-13)=0

Y-7=0

Y=7 or

Y-13=0

Y=13

Y=13 or 7

Substitute for y in equation 1

X+y=20

X+7=20

X=20-7

X=13 or

X+13=20

X=20-13

X=7

Therefore, X &Y = 13 &7

Which quadratic function is represented by the table ???
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

B) f(x) = 3x² - 2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the correct quadratic function that represents the table, you must substitute [x] into the quadratic function.

A) f(x) = 3x² + 2x - 5

B) f(x) = 3x² - 2x + 5

C) f(x) = 2x² + 3x - 5

D) f(x) = 2x² - 2x + 5

A.   3(-2)² + 2(-2) - 5 =

3(4) - 4 - 5

12 -  4 - 5

12 - 9

= 3

B.   3(-2)² - 2(-2) + 5 =

3(4) + 4 + 5

12 + 9

= 21

C.   2(-2)² + 3(-2) -5 =

2(4) - 6 - 5

8 - 11

= - 3

D.   2(-2)² + 2(-2) + 5 =

2(4) - 4 + 5

8 - 4 + 5

8 + 1

= 9

Your correct answer is: B
