What is the result of substituting for y in the bottom equation y=x+3 y=x^2+2x-4

8_murik_8 [283]

The solutions are (2.1925, 5.1925) and (-3.1925, -0.1925)

Solution:

Given that,

$y = x + 3 ------- eqn 1\\\\y = x^2 + 2x - 4 ----- eqn 2$

We have to substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2

$x + 3 = x^2 + 2x - 4$

$\mathrm{Switch\:sides}\\\\x^2+2x-4=x+3\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}3\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\x^2+2x-4-3=x+3-3\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\x^2+2x-7=x\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\x^2+2x-7-x=x-x\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\x^2+x-7=0$

$\mathrm{Solve\:with\:the\:quadratic\:formula}\\\\\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}\\\\x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=1,\:b=1,\:c=-7\\\\x =\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{1^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-7\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}$

$x = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{ 1 + 28}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{ -1 \pm \sqrt{29}}{2}$

$x = \frac{ -1 \pm 5.385 }{2}\\\\We\ have\ two\ solutions\\\\x = \frac{ -1 + 5.385 }{2}\\\\x = 2.1925$

$Also\\\\x = \frac{ -1 - 5.385 }{2}\\\\x = -3.1925$

Substitute x = 2.1925 in eqn 1

y = 2.1925 + 3

y = 5.1925

Substitute x = -3.1925 in eqn 1

y = -3.1925 + 3

y = -0.1925

Thus the solutions are (2.1925, 5.1925) and (-3.1925, -0.1925)

Bryce measured the circumference of a tree trunk. Its circumference was 91 ft. What was the approximate diameter, rounded to the

iren2701 [21]

Answer: 29 feet.

Step-by-step explanation: The formula for the circumference of a circle is C = π d. In order to calculate the diameter of the tree we will use the same formula and solve for d.

91 = 3.14 x d

In order to solve for d you need to divide both sides for 3.14:

D = 28.98, rounded to the nearest foot is 29 feet.
