Answer:

1.

-3x + 8y = -5

6x + 2y = -8

Set the equations to a common variable.

-3x + 8y = -5 → 8y = 3x - 5 → y = 3/8x - 5/8

6x + 2y = -8 → 2y = -6x - 8 → y = -3x - 4

Set the equations equal to each other.

3/8x - 5/8 = -3x - 4

Combine like terms.

3x + 3/8x = -4 + 5/8

3.375x = -3.375

Divide by 3.375

x = -1

Plug x back in to find y.

-3x + 8y = -5

-3(-1) + 8y = -5

3 + 8y = -5

8y = -8

y = -1

answer: (-1, -1)

2.

3x + 2y = -16

-3x - 8y = 46

Set the equations to a common variable.

3x + 2y = -16 → 2y = -3x - 16 → y = -3/2x - 8

-3x - 8y = 46 → -8y = 3x + 46 → y = -3/8x - 23/4

Set the equations equal to each other.

-3/2x - 8 = -3/8x - 23/4

Combine like terms.

-9/8x = 9/4

or

-1.125x = 2.25

Divide by -1.125

x = -2

Plug x back in to find y.

3(-2) + 2y = -16

-6 + 2y = -16

2y = -10

y = -5

answer: (-2, -5)

If f(x) = 9x – 8, which of the following is the inverse of f(x)?
zheka24 [161]

Answer: f^{-1} (x) = \frac{x+8}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 9x - 8 , to find the inverse of f(x) , replace f(x) with y , then the equation becomes

y = 9x - 8 , then make x , the subject of the formula ,

9x = y + 8

x = \frac{y+8}{9}

Finally , replace x , with f^{-1} (x) and y with x  , so we have

f^{-1} (x) = \frac{x+8}{9}

A class has 4 boys and 10 girls what is the ratio in the simplest form that compares numbet boys to total number of students
polet [3.4K]

Answer: 2 : 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of boys = 4

Number of girls = 10

Total number of students = total number of boys + total number of girls ,that is

Total number of students = 4 + 10

= 14

Therefore , the ratio in the simplest form that compares number of  boys to total number of students is given by

number of boys : total number of students , that is

4 : 14

which will be

2 : 7 in the simplest form

Simplify: sin^2xcos^2x-cos^2x
shtirl [24]

Answer:

-cos^4(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Use the Pythagorean identity : 1=cos^2(x) + sin^2(x)

1-sin^2(x) = cos^2(x)

-1+sin^2(x) = -cos^2(x)

cos^2(x) (-cos^2(x))

Step 2: Factor out common terms cos^2(x)

cos^2(x) (sin^2(x)-1)

Ans: -cos^4(x)
