How many solutions does this linear system have y= 1/2x+4 x+2y=-8

Mathematics

1 answer:

lara [203]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

1 solution

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1/2x + 4

x + 2y = -8

Solve the second equation for y.

2y = -x - 8

y = -1/2x - 4

The two equations in slope-intercept form are:

y = 1/2x + 4

y = -1/2x - 4

The system consists of two lines with different slopes, so they intercept at a single point which is the solution.

Answer: 1 solution

Nancy borrowed $150 from her parents to buy a video game system. She has agreed to pay them back $25 each week Which equation re

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

P = 150 - 25w

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount borrowed = $150

Repayment amount = $25 each week

P = amount Nancy owes

w = number of weeks

Amount Nancy owes = amount borrowed - repayment plan per week

P = 150 - 25w

During the first week of repayment: when w = 1

P = 150 - 25w

P = 150 - 25(1)

= 150 - 25

= 125

P = $125

Factor this equation<br> 4x^2+12x-7

Levart [38]

$4x^2+12x-7=0\\\\a=4;\ b=12;\ c=-7\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\\Delta=12^2-4\cdot4\cdot(-7)=144+112=256 \ \textgreater \ 0\\\\therefore\\x_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\ and\ x_2=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\\\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt{256}=16\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-12-16}{2\cdot4}=\dfrac{-28}{8}=\boxed{-\dfrac{7}{2}}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-12+16}{2\cdot4}=\dfrac{4}{8}=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}}$
