Answer:

Part 3) Miguel scored 29 points and Alonzo scored 25 points

Part 4) Morgan's age is 14 1/2 years and Mr Santos' age is 29 1/2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 3) Let

x ----> the number of points that Miguel scored

y ---> the number of points that Alonzo scored

we know that

$x+y=54$ ----> equation A

$x=y+4$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

$(y+4)+y=54\\2y=54-4\\2y=50\\y=25$

Find the value of x

$x=25+4=29$

the solution is the point (29,25)

That means ----> Miguel scored 29 points and Alonzo scored 25 points

Part 4) Let

x ----> Morgan's age

y ---> Mr Santos' age

we know that

$x+y=44$ -----> equation A

$x=y-15$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

$(y-15)+y=44\\2y=44+15\\2y=59\\y=29.5$

Find the value of x

$x=29.5-15=14.5$

the solution is the point (14.5,29.5)

That means ----> Morgan's age is 14 1/2 years and Mr Santos' age is 29 1/2 years

How to you graph a linear equation when all they say is y=4 what to do

dybincka [34]

-- Find any point where y=4

-- Find another point where y=4

-- With your ruler, draw a line between the two points.
You have a horizontal line, and every point on it has y=4 no matter what 'x' is.

The equation for every straight line is [ y = mx+b ].

This is the line where (m = 0) and (b = 4).

Solving Square Root Worksheet (x - k)^2 Part 3

erastova [34]

Answer:

7. x = -2 +/- $4i\sqrt{5}$

8. x = 2 or x = 6

9. x = -2 +/- $\frac{\sqrt{26} }{2} i$

10. t = -3 +/- $\sqrt{35}$

Step-by-step explanation:

7. Subtract 320 from both sides: 4(x + 2)^2 = -320

Divide by 4: (x + 2)^2 = -80

Square root both sides: x + 2 = +/- $\sqrt{-80}$ . We need to add the imaginary i to this: +/- $\sqrt{-80}$ = +/- $i\sqrt{80}$ = +/- $4i\sqrt{5}$

Subtract 2 from both sides: x = -2 +/- $4i\sqrt{5}$

8. Add 18 to both sides: 7(x - 4)^2 = 28

Divide by 7: (x - 4)^2 = 4

Square root both sides: x - 4 = +/- 2

Add 4 to both sides: x = 4 +/- 2 ⇒ x = 2 or x = 6

9. Add 5 to both sides: -2(x + 2)^2 = 13

Divide by -2: (x + 2)^2 = -13/2

Square root both sides: x + 2 = +/- $\sqrt{-13/2}$ . We again need i: +/- $\sqrt{-13/2}$ = +/- $i\sqrt{13/2} =$ +/- $\frac{\sqrt{26} }{2} i$

Subtract 2 from both sides: x = -2 +/- $\frac{\sqrt{26} }{2} i$

10. Multiply by 5 on both sides: (t + 3)^2 = 35

Square root both sides: t + 3 = +/- $\sqrt{35}$

Subtract 3: t = -3 +/- $\sqrt{35}$

Hope this helps!

What is the rate of change for the linear function f(x)=-2x-5 over any interval?

julia-pushkina [17]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. By definition, the rate of change of a linear function is the slope of the line and it is constant. Based on this, you must find the slope of the given function.

2. You have the equation of the line has the following form:

$y=mx+b$

Where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

3. Then, you have that the slope of the function $f(x)=-2x-5$ is:

$m=-2$

Therefore, the answer is: $-2$

2-6>-3<br> is this correct

romanna [79]

Answer:

im gonna say no and sorry if my answer is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 2-6 = -4

now when you work with negative numbers or integers the bigger number will be the closest to the 0 so it's not correct -3 is bigger than -4
