What is the solution to this system of linear equations? x + y = 4 x - y = 6

Mathematics
1 answer:
almond37 [142]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: x = 5 , y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x + y = 4 ................. equation 1

x - y = 6 .................. equation 2

Solving the simultaneous equation by elimination method;

From equation 1 make x the subject of the formula , that is

x = 4 -y ............ equation 3

substitute equation 3 into equation 2 , we have

4 - y - y = 6

4 - 2y = 6

Add 2y to both sides , we have

4 = 6 + 2y

subtract 6 from both sides , we have

4 - 6 = 2y

- 2 = 2y

divide both sides by 2

-2/2 = y

Therefore : y = -1

Substitute y = -1 into equation 3 , we have

x = 4 - (-1)

x = 4 + 1

x = 5

Given a function f(x)=2x^2+3, what is the average rate of change of f on the interval [2, 2+h]?
AveGali [126]

Answer:

4x+2h

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of a continuous function,

f

(

x

)

, on a closed interval  

[

a

,

b

]

is given by

f

(

b

)

−

f

(

)

b

−

So the average rate of change of the function  

f

)

=

is:

Which is the required answer.

Additional Notes:

Note that this question is steered towards deriving the derivative  

f

'

(

x

)

from first principles, as the definition of the derivative is:

f

'

(

x

)

=

lim

h

→

0

 

f

(

x

+

h

)

−

f

(

x

)

h

This is the function we had in [1], so as we take the limit as  

h

→

0

we get the derivative  

f

'

(

x

)

for any  

x

, This:

f

'

(

x

)

=

lim

h

→

√64 evaluate<br><br>this is for my finals so it's HIGH in points...​
notka56 [123]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that √ signifies "square root."

If you're unsure of what √64 is, then make a short table of perfect squares until 64 comes up:

1   1

2   4

3   9

4   16

5  25

6  36

7   49

8   64

Thus, the square of 8 is 64 and so √64 = 8
