Because 3 is a number and the x is unknow so its just an exponent the x ^ 3 grows three each time
Answer:
(x1, y1) = (1, 3)
(x2, y2) = (4, 12)
Step-by-step explanation:
y= x^2 - 4
y= 5x - 8
(substitute the value for y)
x^2 - 4 = 5x - 8
(solve the equation)
x = 1
x = 4
(substitute the values)
y = 5 × 1 - 8
y = 5 × 4 - 8
(solve the equations)
y = -3
y = 12
( the possible solutions are)
x1, y1 = 1, -3
x2, y2 = 4, 12
(check the solutions)
-3 = 1^2 - 4
-3 = 5 × 1 - 8
12 = 4^2 - 4
12 = 5 × 4 - 8
(simplify)
-3 = -3
-3 = -3
12 = 12
12 = 12
(the ordered pairs are the solutions)
(a) 8.64 hours (b) 5.68 hours (c) .74 hours (44.4 minutes)
Wait isn’t it 30 or am I reading it wrong?
