Answer:

The integers are 4 and 7 or -2 and 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can make a system of equations with the description of the two integers.

1. x = y + 3

2. 2x + 2 = y^2

The simplest and the fastest way to solve this system in this case is substitution. You can substitute x for y + 3 in the second equation.

1. x = y + 3

2. 2(y + 3) + 2 = y^2

Now simplify and solve the second one. For convenience, I will just disregard the first equation for now.

2y + 6 + 2 = y^2

y^2 - 2y - 8 = 0

You can factor this equation to solve for y.

(y - 4) (y + 2) = 0

y = 4, y = -2

Now we can substitute the value of y for x in the first equation.

x = 7, x = 1

Given that a function, g, has a domain of -1 ≤ x ≤ 4 and a range of 0 ≤ g(x) ≤ 18 and that g(-1) = 2 and g(2) = 8, select the st

notka56 [123]

Options

(A)g(5) = 12
(B)g(1) = -2
(C)g(2) = 4
(D)g(3) = 18

Answer:

(D)g(3) = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the function, g, has a domain of -1 ≤ x ≤ 4 and a range of 0 ≤ g(x) ≤ 18 and that g(-1) = 2 and g(2) = 8

Then the following properties must hold

The value(s) of x must be between -1 and 4
The values of g(x) must be between 0 and 18.
g(-1)=2
g(2)=9

We consider the options and state why they are true or otherwise.

Option A: g(5)=12

The value of x=5. This contradicts property 1 stated above. Therefore, it is not true.

Option B: g(1) = -2

The value of g(x)=-2. This contradicts property 2 stated above. Therefore, it is not true.

Option C: g(2) = 4

The value of g(2)=4. However by property 4 stated above, g(2)=9. Therefore, it is not true.

Option D: g(3) = 18

This statement can be true as its domain is in between -1 and 4 and its range is in between 0 and 18.

Therefore, Option D could be true.

A bathtub is draining at a constant rate. After 2 minutes, it holds 30 gallons of water. Three minutes later, it holds 12 gallon

aliya0001 [1]

Let x, represent the number of minutes and y represents the number of gallons of water in the tub, then the ordered pairs (2, 30) and (5, 12) satisfies the equation.

Therefore the equation is given by: (y - 30)/(x - 2) = (12 - 30)/(5 - 2)
(y - 30)/(x - 2) = -18/3 x = -6
y - 30 = -6(x - 2) = -6x + 12
y = -6x + 42

Required equation is y + 6x = 42.

Ayanna plans to bake 3 types of cookies to take to a party. She needs to be sure that she has enough flour. The chocolate cookie

djyliett [7]

The children brought 2+1+114=414 cups of flour and 14+12+34=112 cups of butter.

They have enough flour for

414÷34===174×43173523
batches and they have enough butter for

112÷13===32×3192412
batches, so the butter is the limiting factor. Thus, they can make 4 whole batches of a dozen cookies each.
