Answer:

answer B: (2,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write the equations on top of each other:

$3x+2y=2\\2x-y=6$

Then, multiply the the second equation by 2 so that we can use elimination of the y-variable:

$3x+2y=2\\2(2x-y)=2(6)\\\\3x+2y=2\\4x-2y=12$

Next, use elimination to find the value of "x":

$3x+2y=2\\+(4x-2y=12)\\\\7x+0=14\\7x=14\\\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{14}{7}\\x=2$

So, your x-value is 2.

Now, substitute your x-value into one of your equations, let's take the second equation, 2x-y=6:

$2x-y=6\\2(2)-y=6\\4-y=6\\4-4-y=6-4\\-y=2\\\frac{-y}{1}=\frac{2}{-1}\\y=-2$

Your y-value is -2.

With all your information gathered, you find that the solution to this system of equation is (2,-2).

A company's revenue function and cost function are as follows: R(x) = 0.55x and C(x) = 10 + 0.05x. What is the minimum number of

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Minimum number of units sold to make profit is equal to 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Revenue earned by the company as a function of number of units sold as x:

R(x) = 0.55x

Cost for selling units as a function of number of units sold as x:

C(x) = 10 + 0.05x

<em>Net profit earned by the company = (Revenue earned by the company) - (Cost of selling units)</em>

P(x) = (0.55x) - (10 + 0.05x)

P(x) = 0.55x - 10 - 0.05x

P(x) = 0.5x - 10

To earn profit the following condition should satisfy: P(x) ≥ 0

0.5x - 10 ≥ 0

0.5x ≥ 10

x ≥ $\frac{10}{0.5}$

x ≥ 20

How many lines of symmetry does this figure have?

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two lines of symmetry and here I list them:

1) The first is a horizontal line that divides the square in to even parts such that the top part is the projection of the down one trough the symmetry line (and vice versa).

2) The second one is the vertical line that divides the square in two even sides. Note that this line will also divide both stars at half. The left side will be projected on the right one (and vice versa) trough the symmetry line.

A third line could be thought to be a diagonal between opposite vertices, but notice that the stars projection won't by symmetric in this case.

So, we only have 2 symmetry lines.

What is the quadratic regression equation that fits these data?

Answer:

D. y = -0.32x² -1.26x +15.81

Step-by-step explanation:

This is one of those multiple-choice questions where you only need a vague idea of what the answer is supposed to look like.

In this case the answer must be a quadratic equation with a negative leading coefficient. (The parabola opens downward.)

The only answer choice that is a 2nd degree polynomial with a negative leading coefficient is choice D.

A: linear equation

B: exponential equation

C: quadratic that opens upward (positive leading coefficient)

D: quadratic that opens downward -- the answer you're looking for
