Answer:

x=3, y=-2. (3, -2).

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+2y=8

5x+3y=9

---------------

simplify 4x+2y=8 into 2x+y=4

-----------------

2x+y=4

5x+3y=9

----------------

y=4-2x

5x+3(4-2x)=9

5x+12-6x=9

-x=9-12

-x=-3

x=3

2(3)+y=4

6+y=4

y=4-6

y=-2

What is the inverse of the function h(x)=\dfrac{5}{2}x+4h(x)= 2 5 x+4h, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, equals, start

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The inverse of the function h(x) is $h^{-1}(x)=\frac{2}{5}x-\frac{8}{5}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$h(x)=\dfrac{5}{2}x+4$

Replace h(x) by y.

$y=\dfrac{5}{2}x+4$

Interchange x and y.

$x=\dfrac{5}{2}y+4$

Subtract 4 from both sides to isolate variable y,

$x-4=\dfrac{5}{2}y$

Multiply both sides by 2.

$2x-8=5y$

Divide both sides by 5.

$\frac{2}{5}x-\frac{8}{5}=y$

Replace y by h⁻¹(x).

$h^{-1}(x)=\frac{2}{5}x-\frac{8}{5}$

Therefore the inverse of the function h(x) is $h^{-1}(x)=\frac{2}{5}x-\frac{8}{5}$ .

What choice is a solution to the system of equations? y=2x-3 y-9=-x

Tema [17]

Answer:

$(4,5)\ or\ x=4,y=5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$We\ are\ given:\\y=2x-3\\y-9=-x\\Now,\ lets\ separate\ all\ the\ constant\ terms\ to\ the\ RHS\ and\ the\ variable\\ terms\ to\ the\ LHS.\\Hence,\\y-2x=-3\\y+x=9\\By\ subtracting\ the\ two\ equations:\\(y-2x)-(y+x)=(-3)-(9)\\Hence\ lets\ simplify\ this\ main\ equation: \\y-2x-(y+x)=-3-9\\y-2x-y-x=-12\\-3x=-12\\x=\frac{-12}{-3}=4\\\\Now,\ lets\ consider\ the\ second\ equation\ in\ the\ solution:\\y-9=-x\\Substituting\ x=4,\\y-9=-(4)\\y-9=-4\\y=-4+9\\y=5\\$

$Now,\\We\ get\ the\ solution\ to\ this\ system\ of\ equations:\\x=4,y=5\\By\ putting\ this\ as\ a\ co-ordinate\ pair (x,y):\\(4,5)$

Pls answer Question 28 and 29 asap.

Kaylis [27]

28. Answer: 86% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Sphere has a radius of 100% → r =1

Surface Area of Original Sphere:

S.A. = 4πr²

= 4π(1)²

= 4π

New Sphere has a diameter of 75% → d = 0.75 → r = 0.375

Surface Area of New Sphere:

S.A. = 4πr²

= 4π(0.375)²

= 0.5625π

$\text{\% Change} =\dfrac{New - Original}{Original}\\\\.\qquad \qquad =\dfrac{0.5625\pi -4\pi}{4\pi}\\\\.\qquad \qquad =\dfrac{-3.4375\pi}{4\pi}\\\\.\qquad \qquad =-0.86$
