2x- y = -1 5x + 4y = 17

Mathematics

Allisa [31]3 years ago

Answer:

You will need to use simultaneous equations.

Method:

Get both equations to have the same subject, in this case we will multiply the first equation by 4

1) 2x-y = -1
Becomes
1) 8x-4y = -4

Then make both equations equal to 4y.

1) 8x+4= 4y
2) 4y = -5x + 17

Because they both equal 4y, that means they are equal to each other.

8x+4 = -5x+17
Now solve for x.

13x = 13
x = 1

Now that we have x, we can substitute it back into either equation to get y. I will use equation 1 because it is less complex.

2x-y = -1
2(1)-y = -1
y = 3

NEED TO KNOW ASAP<br> Which of the following is a quadratic inequality?<br> Oy&lt;2x+7<br> Oy Oy
Burka [1]

Answer:

  (c)  y < x^2 -5x

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic inequality is one that involves a quadratic polynomial.

<h3>Identification</h3>

The degree of a polynomial is the value of the largest exponent of the variable. When the degree of a polynomial is 2, we call it a <em>quadratic</em>.

For the following inequalities, the degree of the polynomial in x is shown:

  • y < 2x +7 . . . degree 1
  • y < x^3 +x^2 . . . degree 3
  • y < x^2 -5x . . . degree 2 (quadratic)

<h3>Application</h3>

We see that the degree of the polynomial in x is 2 in ...

   y < x^2 -5x

so that is the quadratic inequality you're looking for.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

When a term involves only one variable, its degree is the exponent of that variable: 5x^3 has degree 3. When a term involves more than one variable, the degree of the term is the sum of the exponents of the variables: 8x^4y3 has degree 4+3=7.

Can anyone help me, please?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

So first plot the points then move it the way ( x-3, y-4)

remember for the x axis you slide left to right and we know that left is negative so you would go left 3 times and for y you would go down 4 times do it for each point.
