8 goes with 3/5: 10 goes with n (n being the number of cups)

$\frac{8}{3/5} = \frac{10}{n}$

Use cross products and we get 8n = 6
Now divide by 8
<u>8n</u> = <u>6
</u><u />8 8

n= 6/8 or 3/4 of a cup of flour.

what is the value of y in the solution to the following system of equations? (5 points) 2x y = −4 5x 3y = −6

TiliK225 [7]

2x+y=-4
5x+3y=-6

multiply first equaton by -5 and second by 2 then add them

-10x-5y=20
<u>10x+6y=-12 +</u>
0x+1y=8

y=8

the y value is 8

What substitution Should be used to re-write 26(x^3+1)^2-22(x^3+1)-3=0 as a quadratic function?

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

$x^3+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

$26(x^3+1)^2-22(x^3+1)-3=0$

Comparing to

$A(u)^2+B(u)+C =0$

Where A,B,C are constants

You should see that we need to substitute the $x^3+1$ with u.

This equation represents an exponential function that passes through the point (2, 80).

miss Akunina [59]

we know that

If the point belongs to the graph, then the point must satisfy the equation

we will proceed to verify each case

<u>case A.)</u> $f(x)=4(x^{5})$

The point is $(2,80)$

Verify if the point satisfy the equation

For $x=2$ find the value of y in the equation and compare with the y-coordinate of the point

$f(2)=4(2^{5})$

$f(2)=128$

$128\neq 80$

therefore

the equation $f(x)=4(x^{5})$ not passes through the point $(2,80)$

<u>case B.)</u> $f(x)=5(x^{4})$

The point is $(2,80)$

Verify if the point satisfy the equation

For $x=2$ find the value of y in the equation and compare with the y-coordinate of the point

$f(2)=5(2^{4})$

$f(2)=80$

$80=80$

therefore

the equation $f(x)=5(x^{4})$ passes through the point $(2,80)$

<u>case C.)</u> $f(x)=4(5^{x})$

The point is $(2,80)$

Verify if the point satisfy the equation

For $x=2$ find the value of y in the equation and compare with the y-coordinate of the point

$f(2)=4(5^{2})$

$f(2)=100$

$100\neq 80$

therefore

the equation $f(x)=4(5^{x})$ not passes through the point $(2,80)$

<u>case D.)</u> $f(x)=5(4^{x})$

The point is $(2,80)$

Verify if the point satisfy the equation

For $x=2$ find the value of y in the equation and compare with the y-coordinate of the point

$f(2)=5(4^{2})$

$f(2)=80$

$80=80$

therefore

the equation $f(x)=5(4^{x})$ passes through the point $(2,80)$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$f(x)=5(x^{4})$

$f(x)=5(4^{x})$
