Mr. Martin’s math test, which is worth 100 points, has 29 problems. Each problem is worth either 5 points or 2 points. Let x be

the number of questions worth 5 points and let y be the number of questions worth 2 points. x + y = 29, 5x + 2y = 100

Answer:

The number of questions worth 5 points is 14 and the number of questions worth 2 points is 15. 70 points can be gained from the 5 point questions and 30 points can be gained from the 2 point questions making a total of 100 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we have to solve for x and y. We are given two equations.

<em>x + y = 29</em>

<em>5x + 2y = 100</em>

Let's find the value of x first. We can rearrange the first equation so it'll be easier to find the value of x using the second equation.

<em>x + y = 29 → y = -x + 29</em>

Now, let's plug in this equation into the second equation.

<em>5x + 2(-x + 29) = 100</em>

Distribute 2 to (-x + 29)

<em>5x - 2x + 58 = 100</em>

Combine like terms.

<em>3x + 58 = 100</em>

Subtract 58 from 100.

<em>3x = 42</em>

Divide by 3 on both sides.

<em>x = 14 </em>

<u>So, the value of x is 14.</u>

Now, let's find the value of y. We can do this by plugging in our x into the first equation.

<em>14 + y = 29 </em>

Subtract 14 from 29.

<em>y = 15 </em>

<u>So, the value of y is 15.</u>

Vertex form is f(x)=a(x-p)^2 +q. How do i determine a?

Y1 is the simplest parabola.  Its vertex is at (0,0) and it passes thru (2,4).  This is enough info to conclude that y1 = x^2.

y4, the lower red graph, is a bit more of a challenge.  We can easily identify its vertex, which is (-4,0), and several points on the grah, such as (2,-3).

Let's try this:  assume that the general equation for a parabola is 
y-k = a(x-h)^2, where (h,k) is the vertex.  Subst. the known values,

-3-(-4) = a(2-0)^2.  Then 1 = a(2)^2, or 1 = 4a, or a = 1/4.

The equation of parabola y4 is   y+4 = (1/4)x^2

Or you could elim. the fraction and write the eqn as 4y+16=x^2, or

4y = x^2-16, or    y = (1/4)x - 4.  Take your pick!  Hope this helps you find "a" for the other parabolas.

x = 5 y = -3 What is the solution to the system of equations? A) (0, 0) B) (5, -3) C) (-5, 3) D) (-3, 5)
Rufina [12.5K]

I think its B because, the formation would be (x,y) so that means (5,-3)
