Substitution is best to use one one or both equations is already solved for one of the variables. Elimitation can be use if all variables have a coefficient other than 1.
A blue whale weight = 200 short tons (400,000 pounds)
A african elephant weight = 3 tons (9,000 pounds)
And then you would minus the tons and get your answer
hope this helped :)
Answer:y=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Area covered by the fences will be 16.1 unit²
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first parabola is represented by the function f(x) = 6x²
and second parabola by g(x) = x² + 9
point of intersection of the graphs will be determined when f(x) = g(x)
6x² = x² + 9
5x² = 9
x² = 1.8
x = ± 1.34
Now we will find the area between these curves drawn on the graph.
Area = ![\int_{-1.34}^{1.34}[f(x)-g(x)]dx=\int_{-1.34}^{1.34}[6x^{2}-(x^{2}+9)]dx](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cint_%7B-1.34%7D%5E%7B1.34%7D%5Bf%28x%29-g%28x%29%5Ddx%3D%5Cint_%7B-1.34%7D%5E%7B1.34%7D%5B6x%5E%7B2%7D-%28x%5E%7B2%7D%2B9%29%5Ddx)
= ![\int_{-1.34}^{1.34}(5x^{2}-9)dx](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cint_%7B-1.34%7D%5E%7B1.34%7D%285x%5E%7B2%7D-9%29dx)
= ![[\frac{5}{3}x^{3}-9x]_{-1.34}^{1.34}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B3%7Dx%5E%7B3%7D-9x%5D_%7B-1.34%7D%5E%7B1.34%7D)
= ![[\frac{5}{3}(-1.34)^{3}-9(-1.34)-\frac{5}{3}(1.34)^{3}+9(1.34)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B3%7D%28-1.34%29%5E%7B3%7D-9%28-1.34%29-%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B3%7D%281.34%29%5E%7B3%7D%2B9%281.34%29%5D)
= ![[-4.01+12.06-4.01+12.06]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B-4.01%2B12.06-4.01%2B12.06%5D)
= 16.1 unit²
