If the equation of a function is y = x2 – 5, what is the output when the input is -1?

1 answer:

4 0

The input is the y
y = x^2 - 5
plug in what we're given
-1 = x^2 -5
add 5 to both sides
4 = x^2
take the square root of both sides
2 = x

Hope this helps :)

8x - 4y = -12 solve for y

son4ous [18]

Solving an equation means finding a value of a variable that make the equation true. This value is called the solution of the equation. A mathematical equation is just like a balanced equation. Both sides of the equation should be equal at all times. Whatever we do to one side, has to be done on the opposite side.

$8x - 4y = -12$

$4(2x-y)=-12

 
$ $Factor \ out \ the \ common \ term \ 4$

$2x-y=- \dfrac{12}{4}$ $Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 4$

$2x-y=-3

 

$

$-y=-3-2x$ $Subtract \ 2x \ from \ both \ sides$

$y=3+2x$ $Multiply \ both \ sides \ by \ -1$
