To use the elimination method, the coefficient of one variable in one equation must be the opposite number of the coefficient of the same variable in the second equation.

4x-3y=8 \\
5x-2y=-11

Here you can multiply the first equation by 2, and the second equation by -3.

4x-3y=8 \ \ |\cdot 2 \\
5x-2y=-11 \ \ |\cdot (-3) \\ \\
8x-6y=16 \\
-15x+6y=33

Now you just add the equations by sides and solve for one variable.

8x-6y=16 \\ \underline{-15x+6y=33 } \\
8x-6y-15x+6y=16+33 \\
8x-15x=16+33 \\
-7x=49 \\
x=-7

Now you solve for the other variable by substituting -7 for x in one of the equations.

4x-3y=8 \\
4 \cdot (-7)-3y=8 \\
-28-3y=8 \\
-3y=8+28 \\
-3y=36 \\
y=-12

You could choose x at the beginning as well. Then you'd have:
4x-3y=8 \ \ |\cdot (-5)\\
5x-2y=-11 \ \ |\cdot 4 \\ \\
-20x+15y=-40 \\
\underline{20x-8y=-44 \ \ \ \ \ \ } \\
-20x+15y+20x-8y=-40-44 \\
15y-8y=-40-44 \\
7y=-84 \\
y=-12 \\ \\
4x-3y=8 \\
4x-3 \cdot (-12)=8 \\
4x+36=8 \\
4x=8-36 \\
4x=-28 \\
x=-7

So the answer is:
x=-7 \\ y=-12

The moon is about 382,500km away from Earth. This distance actually varies by about 22,500km. What are the maximum and minimum d
KiRa [710]

Answer:

The minimum distance to the moon is of 360,000 km and the maximum distance is of 405,000 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum distance is found adding the variation.

The minimum distance is found subtracting the variation.

We have that:

Distance: 382,500 km

Variation: 22,500 km

So

Maximum distance: 382500 + 22500 = 405,000 km

Minimum distance: 382500 - 22500 = 360,000 km

The minimum distance to the moon is of 360,000 km and the maximum distance is of 405,000 km

Determine if the function is a polynomial function. If the function is a polynomial function, state the degree and the leading c
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Wikipedia defines polynomials as "<em>an expression consisting of variables and coefficients</em>."

You would think that F(x) would not be a polynomial, but you could think of it like this:

F(x) = 0x + 1050

So, yes, I suppose constant terms by themselves are polynomials, it's just that they only have one term and would not really be called a <em>poly</em>-nomial.

You should probably research some more just in case.

HELP PLEASE ILL TRY TO MARK U BRAINLIEST
Anon25 [30]

Step-by-step explanation and answer:

For this you just need to plug in x for y = f(1/5x)

1/5(-4) = -4/5 or -0.8

1/5(-1) = -1/5 or -0.2

1/5(0) = 0

1/5(3) = 3/5 or 0.6

1/5(6) = 6/5 or 1.2 or 1 1/5
