Solve the system of equations
insens350 [35]

Answer:

x = 3, y = 1 is the solution of the given system.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given system of equations is:

y = -x  + 4   ...... (1)

y = x - 2     ..........  (2)

Now, to find the solution of the system, SUBSTITUTE the value of y from equation  (1) in to the equation (2). We get ,

y = x - 2   ⇒   -x  + 4  = x - 2  ( as from (1), y = -x + 4)

or,  -x -x = -2 -4

or, - 2 x = -6 ⇒   x = 6/2  = 3

or, x = 3

⇒  y = x - 2 = 3 - 2 = 1

⇒ y = 1

Hence, x = 3, y = 1 is the solution of the given system.

Show that the equation x^3+6x-5=0 has a solution between x=0 and x=1
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Since the value of f(0) is negative and the value of f(1) is positive, then there is at least one value of x between 0 and 1 for which f(x) =0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation f(x) given is:

f(x) = x^3+6x-5

For x = 0. the value of the expression is:

f(0) = 0^3+0-5\\f(0) = -5

For x = 1, the value of the expression is:

f(1) = 1^3+6-5\\f(1)=2

Since the value of f(0) is negative and the value of f(1) is positive, then there is at least one value of x between 0 and 1 for which f(x) =0.

In other words, there is at least one solution for the equation between x=0 and x=1.
