Answer: X = —5 and Y = —2

Step-by-step explanation: What we have is a pair of simultaneous equations;

3X + Y = —17 —————-(1)

6X — 6Y = —18 ————(2)

We shall use the substitution method as instructed. Looking at equation (1),

We shall make Y the subject of the equation, hence

Y = —17 —3X

We shall now substitute for the value of Y into equation (2)

6X — 6Y = —18

6X — 6(—17 —3X) = —18

6X + 102 + 18X = —18

By collecting like terms we now have

24X = —18 —102

(Note that when a positive value crosses to the other side of the equation it becomes negative and vice versa)

24X = —120

Divide both sides of the equation by 24

X = —5

Having calculated the value of X as —5, we can now calculate Y as follows

From equation (1)

3X + Y = —17

3(—5) + Y = —17

—15 + Y = —17

Add 15 to both sides of the equation

—15 + 15 + Y = —17 + 15

Y = —2

Therefore, X = —5 and Y = —2

Graph the function y = 2x3 – x2 – 4x + 5. To the nearest tenth, over which interval is the function decreasing?
daser333 [38]
As you progress in math, it will become increasingly important that you know how to express exponentiation properly.

y = 2x3 – x2 – 4x + 5  should be written    <span>y = 2^x3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5.  The 
" ^ " symbol denotes exponentiation.

I see you're apparently in middle school.  Is that so?  If so, are you taking calculus already?  If so, nice!

Case 1:  You do not yet know calculus and have not differentiated or found critical values.  Sketch the function          </span>y = 2x^3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5, including the y-intercept at (0,5).  Can you identify the intervals on which the graph appears to be increasing and those on which it appears to be decreasing?

Case 2:  You do know differentiation, critical values and the first derivative test.  Differentiate  y = 2x^3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5 and set the derivative = to 0:

dy/dx = 6x^2 - 2x - 4 = 0.  Reduce this by dividing all terms by 2:

dy/dx = 3x^2 - x - 2 = 0    I used synthetic div. to determine that one root is x = 2/3.  Try it yourself.  This leaves the coefficients of the other factor, (3x+3); this other factor is x = 3/(-3) = -1.  Again, you should check this.

Now we have 2 roots:  -1 and 2/3

Draw a number line.  Locate the origin (0,0).  Plot the points (-1, 0) and (2/3, 0).  This subdivides the number line into 3 subintervals:

(-infinity, -1), (-1, 2/3) and (2/3, infinity).

Choose a test number from each interval and subst. it for x in the derivative formula above.  If the derivative comes out +, the function is increasing on that interval; if -, the function is decreasing.

Ask all the questions you want, if this explanation is not sufficiently clear.

What is the slope intercept form of -11x+2y=1?
ikadub [295]

Answer:

y=  11/2 x+1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope Intercept form: y = mx + b where m = slope of the line, b = y intercept and (x,y) are coordinate points on the line.

To put this in slope-intercept form, you need to solve the equation for y

-11x + 2y  =  1

<u>+11x             +11x</u>  add 11x to both sides of the equation

      <u>+2y</u> = <u>1 + 11x</u>

        2         2     Divide both sides by 2 (so y is by itself)

y = 11/2x + 1/2
