X2 - 6x + 12 and y = 2x - 4, algebraically are

olga_2 [115]

The solution is (4, 4)

Solution:

Given system of equations are:

$y = x^2 - 6x + 12 ------ eqn\ 1\\\\y = 2x - 4 ---------- eqn\ 2$

Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1

$x^2 - 6x + 12 = 2x - 4$

Make the right side of equation 0

$x^2 - 6x + 12 - 2x + 4 = 0\\\\x^2 -8x + 16 = 0$

Solve by quadratic equation

$\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}\\\\x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=1,\:b=-8,\:c=16:\\\\x=\frac{-\left(-8\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-8\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:16}}{2\cdot \:1}\\\\x=\frac{-\left(-8\right)\pm \sqrt{0}}{2\cdot \:1}\\\\x = \frac{8}{2}\\\\x = 4$

Substitute x = 4 in eqn 2

y = 2(4) - 4

y = 8 - 4

y = 4

Thus solution is (4, 4)

Need help + explanation!! ^_^

780, or C, is correct. Since 9.75 is 1/80th of the actual measurement, we can set up an equation like this:

9.75 = 1/80x

Then multiply each side by 80:

780 = x

The actual building's height is 780 ft.

We can check this answer by plugging in 780 for x in the original equation:

9.75 = 1/80(780)

9.75 = 9.75
