Answer: x = 57/17

y = - 3/17

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations is expressed as

3x + 2y = 9 - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

x - 5y = 4 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -2

From equation 2, we would make x the subject of the formula by adding 5y to the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation. It becomes

x - 5y + 5y = 4 + 5y

x = 4 + 5y

Substituting x = 4 + 5y into equation 1, it becomes.

3(4 + 5y) + 2y = 9

12 + 15y + 2y = 9

15y + 2y = 9 - 12

-7y = - 3

y = - 3/17

Substituting y = - 3/17 into equation x = 4 + 5y, it becomes

x = 4 + 5 × - 3/17

x = 4 - 15/17

x = (68 - 15)/17

x = 53/17

The number of mice tripled each year for the past 4 years in the small rural town. Which of the following characteristics best d
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The graph is a curved line that increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the mice triple in population every year then the population is increasing an at exponential rate by multiplying the previous mouse count by 3. I have included a image of a graph that would represent this.

Thus the graph is a curved line that increases, it is not a v shape because the population will constantly increase by 3 times each year, it is not a straight line because the mice population is not increasing in a linear fashion and the population is not U shaped as the population will not decrease as long as the mice population triples every year.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

g(x) = - sqrt(x+8) reflected about the x axis and shifted 8 units to the left

h(x) = 2 sqrt(x) +1 is stretched by 2 in the y direction and shifted up 1 in the y direction

Step-by-step explanation:

y = f(x + C)  C > 0 moves it left

So we moved it 8 units to the left

y = −f(x)  Reflects it about x-axis

g(x) = - sqrt(x+8) reflected about the x axis and shifted 8 units to the left

y = f(x) + C  C > 0 moves it up

so we moved it up 1 units

y = Cf(x)  C > 1 stretches it in the y-direction

and stretched it by 2 in the y direction

h(x) = 2 sqrt(x) +1 is stretched by 2 in the y direction and shifted up 1 in the y direction

Change .00025 to scientific notation
vekshin1
After you realize that
  0.00025 = 2.5·10^-4
    = 250·10^-6 or 250 μ
    = 250,000·10^-9 or 250,000 n
then it becomes a matter of semantics. Both A and D are correct representations, so choice B is incorrect.

Choice C present a dilemma. If you say it is correct, then there are 3 correct choices (A, C, D), not two, so C is incorrect.

If you say it is incorrect, then there are two correct answers (A, D), making choice C correct.

I'd probably choose C and try to avoid the argument with my teacher.
