Answer:

m(u) = -0.25(u +2)² +1 or -0.25u² -u

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is fairly easily written in vertex form, as the vertex point is on a grid line intersection at (-2, 1). The parabola opens downward, so the scale factor is negative.

The vertical change from the vertex is only a fraction of a unit when u differs from the vertex by 1. It is 1 unit when u differs from the vertex by 2, so the magnitude of the vertical scale factor is 1/2² = 1/4.

Our equation will be of the form ...

m(u) = (vertical scale factor)(u - (horizontal vertex location))² + (vertical vertex location)

For this graph, the equation is ...

m(u) = -0.25(u +2)² +1

or, simplifying, we get ...

m(u) = -0.25u² -u

One number is five more than another and their sum is three less than three times the smaller

soldier1979 [14.2K]

X = y + 5
(x + y) = 3y - 3

y + 5 + y = 3y - 3
2y + 5 = 3y - 3
5 + 3 = 3y - 2y
8 = y

x = y + 5
x = 8 + 5
x = 13

ur numbers are : 8 and 13

For integers a, b, and c, consider the linear Diophantine equation ax C by D c: Suppose integers x0 and y0 satisfy the equation;

Answer:

$x = x_1+r(\frac{b}{gcd(a, b)} )\\y=y_1-r(\frac{a}{gcd(a, b)} )$

b. x = -8 and y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is incomplete. I will type the complete question below before giving my solution.

For integers a, b, c, consider the linear Diophantine equation

$ax+by=c$

Suppose integers x0 and yo satisfy the equation; that is,

$ax_0+by_0 = c$

what other values

$x = x_0+h$ and $y=y_0+k$

also satisfy ax + by = c? Formulate a conjecture that answers this question.

Devise some numerical examples to ground your exploration. For example, 6(-3) + 15*2 = 12.

Can you find other integers x and y such that 6x + 15y = 12?

How many other pairs of integers x and y can you find ?

Can you find infinitely many other solutions?

From the Extended Euclidean Algorithm, given any integers a and b, integers s and t can be found such that

$as+bt=gcd(a,b)$

the numbers s and t are not unique, but you only need one pair. Once s and t are found, since we are assuming that gcd(a,b) divides c, there exists an integer k such that gcd(a,b)k = c.

Multiplying as + bt = gcd(a,b) through by k you get

$a(sk) + b(tk) = gcd(a,b)k = c$

So this gives one solution, with x = sk and y = tk.

Now assuming that ax1 + by1 = c is a solution, and ax + by = c is some other solution. Taking the difference between the two, we get

$a(x_1-x) + b(y_1-y)=0$

Therefore,

$a(x_1-x) = b(y-y_1)$

This means that a divides b(y−y1), and therefore a/gcd(a,b) divides y−y1. Hence,

$y = y_1+r(\frac{a}{gcd(a, b)})$ for some integer r. Substituting into the equation

$a(x_1-x)=rb(\frac{a}{gcd(a, b)} )\\gcd(a, b)*a(x_1-x)=rba$

$x = x_1-r(\frac{b}{gcd(a, b)} )$

Thus if ax1 + by1 = c is any solution, then all solutions are of the form

$x = x_1+r(\frac{b}{gcd(a, b)} )\\y=y_1-r(\frac{a}{gcd(a, b)} )$

In order to find all integer solutions to 6x + 15y = 12

we first use the Euclidean algorithm to find gcd(15,6); the parenthetical equation is how we will use this equality after we complete the computation.

$15 = 6*2+3\\6=3*2+0$
