Solve the following systems algebraically a. x+2y=17 x-y=2

1 answer:

5 0

There are 3 methods to solve this. elimination substitution and graphing but i am going to use the elimination method.
x+2y=17
<u> x-y =2
</u> 0+3y =15 ( subtracted down to eliminate the x)( x-x=0, 2y-(-y)=3y, and 17-2=15)
3y=15 (divide both sides by 3 to solve for y)
y=5
<u>substitute the y=5 in any of the above equations and solve for x
ie... ( </u>meaning where you find y in the equation, u replace it with a 5)

it will be easier to solve for x in (x-y=2) so i will use that one.
x-(5)=2 ( add 5 on both sides to solve for x)
x=7

Answer:

g(x) = f(x -2) -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The transformation g(x) = f(x -h) +k causes the graph of function f(x) to be translated h units to the right and k units up. Here, g is translated 2 units right and 1 unit down, so (h, k) = (2, -1). The translated function is ...

g(x) = f(x -2) -1

Answer: $y=2x^{2}-5x+7$

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic equation in its standard form is:

$y=ax^{2}+bx+c$

Now, we are given 5 points of the parabola (if you graph a quadratic equation you will have a parabola), however we only need to choose three points to find the coeficients $a$ , $b$ and $c$ in the quadratic equation.
