Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = 4, y = 5

Discussion:

-2x + 5y = 17 (*)

x + y = 9 (**)

Multiplying (**) by 2 gives

2x + 2y = 18 (***)

Adding (*) and (***) gives

(-2x + 5y) + (2x + 2y) = 17 + 18 =>

(-2x + 2x) + (5y + 2y) =35 => as -2x + 2x = 0 and 5y +2y = 7y

0 + 7y = 35 => divide both sides by 7

y = 35/7 = 5

Substituting y = 5 in (**) gives x + y = 9 or x + 5 = 9 => x = 9-5 = 4

Thank you,

MrB

A bread recipe calls for 1/3 cup of butter. You want to make 1/2 of a batch. How much butter do you need?

Sergio [31]

Do 1/3 x 1/2 to get 1/6, or you could think, 1/3 divided by 2, which would equal 1/3 x 1/2

considering the leading term of the polynomial function. what is the end behavior of the graph? describe the end behavior and pr

mario62 [17]

The leading term of polynomial function is the the term contain highest degree so here in the given question leading term is $-3x^5$

and leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term with greatest exponent -3

RULES for End behaviour

we have following four cases

CASE1: Even degree and positive leading coefficient

$x\rightarrow -\infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow \infty$

$x\rightarrow \infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow \infty$

CASE2: Even degree and negative leading coefficient

$x\rightarrow -\infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow -\infty$

$x\rightarrow \infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow -\infty$

CASE3: Odd degree and positive leading coefficient

$x\rightarrow -\infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow -\infty$

$x\rightarrow \infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow \infty$

CASE4: Odd degree and negative leading coefficient

$x\rightarrow -\infty$ $x\rightarrow \infty$

$x\rightarrow \infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow -\infty$

Here in the given case we have odd degree and negative leading coefficient

$x\rightarrow -\infty$ $x\rightarrow -\infty$

$x\rightarrow \infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow -\infty$
