How many real solutions does this system of equations have? x^2 + y^2 = 36

Vinvika [58]3 years ago

Answer:

C:  there are two real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + y^2 = 36 is the equation of a circle centered at the origin and with radius √36, or 6.  Even a rough sketch of this circle would enable you to visualize what is happening here.  

3x – y + 1 = 0 may be solved for y:  y = 3x + 1.  The y-intercept of this straight line is (0, 1).  Plot this point inside the circle of radius 6 mentioned above and then draw a straight line with slope m = 3 through it.  This line will intersect the circle in two places; they represent real solutions.

Alternatively, substitute 3x + 1 for y in x^2 + y^2 = 36:

x^2 + (3x + 1)^2 = 36, or

x^2 + 9x^2 + 6x + 1 = 36, or

10 x^2 + 6x + 1 - 36 = 0, or

10 x^2 + 6x - 35 = 0.  This is a quadratic equation.  We'll use the quadratic formula to find solutions which represent the intersections of this line with this circle:

The coefficients are a = 10, b = 6 and c = -35.  Thus, the discriminant is

b^2 - 4ac, or 6^2 - 4(10)(-35), or 1436.  

Because the discriminant is positive, we can safely conclude that there are two real solutions, that is, two different, real x-values, each representing the x-coordinate of a point of intersection of the circle and the line.

The correct answer to this prolem is C:  there are two real solutions.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (4,-3) and is parallel to the line described by y=1/2
Marat540 [252]

Given:

The point, (4, -3)

The line,

y=\frac{1}{2}x+5

To find an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (4,-3) and is parallel to the given line:

The slope of the line is,

m=\frac{1}{2}

Since the given line is parallel to the new line, so the slope will be same for the both.

Using the point-slope formula,

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Substitute the point and slope we get,

\begin{gathered} y-(-3)=\frac{1}{2}(x-4) \\ y+3=\frac{1}{2}x-2 \\ y=\frac{1}{2}x-2-3 \\ y=\frac{1}{2}x-5 \end{gathered}

Hence, the equation in slope-intercept form for the line is,

y=\frac{1}{2}x-5

Help me please I really need help with this please someone
kolezko [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

For number 5 the answer would be <em>economy</em> because there is a <u>2 dollar difference</u> and the shampoo bottle has 20 more ounces then the <em>regular</em> bottle. The <u>2 dollar difference</u> changes the whole thing.

For number 6 the answer is still <em>economy</em> because you get more ounces in the bottle of shampoo for a <u>3 dollar difference</u> in the price.

:)

BTW HOPE YOU HAVE AN AMAZING DAY!!!
