x-3y-27=0\\
y^2=4x\\\\
x-3y-27=0\\
x=\frac{y^2}{4}\\\\
\frac{y^2}{4}-3y-27=0\\
y^2-12y-108=0\\
y^2-12y+36-144=0\\
(y-6)^2=144\\
y-6=-12 \vee y-6=12\\
y=-6 \vee y=18\\\\
x=\frac{(-6)^2}{4} \vee x=\frac{18^2}{4}\\
x=\frac{36}{4} \vee x=\frac{324}{4}\\
x=9 \vee x=81\\\\
\boxed{(9,-6),(81,18)}

First, rearrange the first equation:

3y = x - 27
y = x/3 - 9

Square this equation to make y^2 the subject:

y^2 = (x/3 - 9)^2 = (x/3 - 9)(x/3 - 9) = (x^2)/9 - 3x - 3x + 81 = (x^2)/9 - 6x + 81

Now you can substitute this for y^2 in the second equation, then rearrange into the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0:

(x^2)/9 - 6x + 81 = 4x
(x^2)/9 - 10x + 81 = 0
x^2 - 90x + 729 = 0

Factorise the equation, then equate to zero and zolve:

(x - 9)(x - 81) = 0

x - 9 = 0 --> x = 9
x - 81 = 0 --> x = 81

Using these x values, find the corresponding y values:

y^2 = 4x ∴ y = <span>√4x
When x = 9, y = </span>√(4*9) = √36 = <span>±6
When x = 81, y = </span>√(4*81) = √324 = ±18

Now we need to test whether each y co-ordinate is positive or negative:

When x = 9 and y = 6: x - 3y - 27 = 9 - 18 - 27 <span>≠ 0
When x = 9 and y = -6: x - 3y - 27 = 9 + 18 - 27 = 0

When x = 81 and y = 18: x - 3y - 27 = 81 - 54 - 27 = 0
When x = 81 and y = -18: x - 3y - 27 = 81 + 54 - 27 </span><span>≠</span> 0

Therefore, the co-ordinates of the points of intersection are (9, -6) and (81, 18)

David is looking for the best deal on a laptop that regularly costs $719. Help him compare the price of the laptop at a
NemiM [27]

Answer:

A) $287.60.

B) $323.55.

C) David would pay more for the laptop at the store.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Given that the store's website is offering the laptop at a 60% discount off the regular price of $ 719, ignoring tax and shipping, the sale price is obtained through the following calculation:

100 - 60 = 40

719 x 0.40 = X

287.6 = X

Therefore, in this case the sale price would be $ 287.6.

B) Since the store is having a sale, offering a 50% discount off the regular price of the laptop, and David also has an in-store-only coupon for an additional 10% off the sale price, ignoring tax, the price of sale is obtained through the following calculation:

(719 x 0.5) x 0.9 = X

359.5 x 0.9 = X

323.55 = X

Thus, the sale price in the present case would be $ 323.55.

Lelu [443]

We are given coordinates of the school located at a point (9,-1).

Library is located 5 blocks south and 4 blocks west .

According to coordinate axes, south is downward and west is on left side.

So, we need to move 5 units down of 9.

<em>5 units down of 9 would be 9-5 = 4.</em>

And then <em>4 blocks west that mean -1 -4 = -5.</em>

<h3>Therefore, coordinate of the library is located at the point (4,-5).</h3>
