<span>(1) 2x + y = 9
</span><span>(2) 8x – 2y = 6
</span>
You can eliminate the x or the y. I am going to eliminate the y

First multiply the first equation 2x + y = 9  by 2.
2x + y = 9
2(2x + y = 9)
4x +2y = 18
Now we have a new equation that we can use and we can eliminate the y from the other equation because +2y - 2y = 0. Lets do that now and solve for  x.

4x +2y = 18
8x – 2y = 6
12x = 24
12x / 12 = 24 / 12
x = 2
So we found the value of x, which is 2. To find y, insert 2 into one of the original equations. I am going to use 2x + y = 9
2x + y = 9
2(2) + y = 9
4 + y = 9
-4 + 4 + y = 9 - 4
y = 9 - 4
y = 5
y = 5.

Our point is at (x, y) = (2,5)
x = 2
y = 5

Find the equation of the axis of symmetry and the coordinates of the vertex of the graph of y=4x^2+5x-1
Ivanshal [37]
Answer:

Axis of symmetry: x=-\frac{5}{8}

Vertex: (-\frac{5}{8},-2\frac{9}{16})

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is

y=4x^2+5x-1

By comparing to the general quadratic function; y=ax^2+bx+c

We have a=4,b=5,c=-1

The equation of the axis of symmetry is given by the formula;

x=-\frac{b}{2a}

We got this formula by completing the square on the general quadratic function.

We substitute a=4 and b=5 to obtain;

x=-\frac{5}{2(4)}

x=-\frac{5}{8}
is the axis of symmetry.

To find the y-value of the vertex, we put x=-\frac{5}{8} into the function to obtain;

y=4(-\frac{5}{8})^2+5(-\frac{5}{8})-1

y=4(-\frac{5}{8})^2+5(-\frac{5}{8})-1

y=-\frac{41}{16}

The vertex of the given function is (-\frac{5}{8},-2\frac{9}{16})

Which of the following expressions is equivalent to?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:  

It's the last choice:  2x^2 - 5x - 8 - 37/(x - 5).

Step-by-step explanation:

Long division:

        2x^2 - 5x -8    <---------------Quotient

        ---------------------------------

x - 5 ) 2x^3 - 15x^2 + 17x + 3

          2x^3 - 10x^2

                     - 5x^2 + 17x

                     - 5x^2  + 25x

                                   - 8x + 3

                                   - 8x + 40

                                           -37 <------ Remainder.
