X + 0.5y = 3
x^2 - y = 15

from the first equation:-
0.5y = 3 - x
y = 6 - 2x

Substitute for y in second equation:-
x^2 - (6 - 2x) = 15
x^2 + 2x - 21 = 0
x  =  [-2 +/- sqrt((4 - 4*-21)] / 2
    = 3.6904 ,  -5.6904

Plugging in these into  first equation we get

3.6904 + 0.5y = 3  so y = 2(3-3.6904) =  -1.3808
-5.6904 + 0.5y = 3 so y = 2(3 + 5.6904) =  17.3808

Solution is  x = 3.690, y = -1.381  ;   x = -5.690, y = 17.38 ( to 4 s.f's)

0 and 2

f(x) = g(x) will be the input or x value at which f and g have the same output or y value. Look in the table where two numbers repeat right next to each other.

−1 −7/2 −9/2

0 −3 −3

1 −2 −3/2

2 0 0

3 4 3/2

4 12 3

5 28 9/2

There are two solutions to f(x) = g(x) which are x=0 and x=2.

If you had to pick a number 1-4 what would be the luckiest?
earnstyle [38]

I always feel drawn to the number 2 for some reason because it is in the middle between 2 and four and usually when given an option to pick a number I never pick a number that they say. Personally I just feel drawn to pick the number 2 its a nice even number and perhaps could be lucky :)

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

often one of the first strategies that students learn when solving problems. This is a flexible strategy that is often used as a starting point when solving a problem, and can be used as a safety net, when no other strategy is immediately obvious.
