\bf \begin{cases}
x+2\\\\
x-2
\end{cases}
\begin{cases}\qquad 
product\\
----------\\
(x+2)(x-2)\to x^2-4\leftarrow \textit{difference of squares anyway}\\\\
\textit{double that product}\\
----------\\
\boxed{2(x^2-4)}
\\\\\\
\textit{sum of their squares}\\
----------\\
(x+2)^2+(x-2)^2\\\\
\textit{16 less than that}\\
----------\\
\boxed{(x+2)^2+(x-2)^2-16}
\end{cases}

so.. for what values of "x", are those two expressions, equal to each other then?

well \bf 2x^2-8=x^2\underline{+2x}+4+x^2\underline{-2x}+4-16
\\\\\\
2x^2-8=2x^2+8-16\implies 
\begin{array}{llll}
2x^2-8&=&2x^2-8\\
same&=&same
\end{array}

for a system of equations, the solutions are where the graph converge, or intersect

well, in this case, the left-hand-side expression is exactly the same as the right-hand-side expression
 
so.. if you were to graph the one on the left-hand-side, it's just a parabola shifted vertically down by 8units

if you were to graph the right-hand-side expression, it will be exactly the same, just the same parabola right on top of the other, pancaked on one another

when both expressions are equal, the system has "infinite number of solutions", which is another way to say, for all values of "x", there's a solution

so.. for what values for "x" are those two expressions equal? for all values of "x"  or (-\infty,+\infty)\quad or\quad x\in \mathbb{R}, if you like an interval or set notation

Describe and correct the error in writing an equation of the line with a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of 7.
olganol [36]

Answer:

The mistake they made was they switched the slope and y-intercept.

The correct answer is y=2x+7 because when we write an equation in slope intercept form (y=mx+b) you replace m with the slope and b with the y-intercept.

Hope this helps! <3
