y = -1 + 3/8x

2x - 5y = 6

Substitute the first equation into the second equation, since y is already by itself.

2x - 5(-1 + 3/8x) = 6

2x + 5 - 15/8x = 6

2x - 15/8x = 1

16/8x - 15/8x = 1

1/8x = 1 Multiply 8 on both sides to get x by itself

x = 8

Plug x into either of the equations.

y = -1 + 3/8(8)

y = -1 + 3

y = 2

2(8) - 5y = 6

16 - 5y = 6

-5y = -10

y = 2

(8,2)

The functions r and s are defined as follows.

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

r(s(-2)) = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given these following functions:

$r(x) = -2x + 2$

$s(x) = x^2 - 2$

Find the value of r(s (-2)).

First we find the composition of r and s functions. It is:

$r(s(x)) = r(x^2-2) = -2(x^2-2) + 2 = -2x^2 + 6$

At x = -2

$r(s(-2)) = -2(-2)^2 + 6 = -8 + 6 = -2$

r(s(-2)) = -2
