Let the two number be x and y.
x+y=-1......i
2x+4y=-10.....ii
solving the simultaneous equation we have:
from equation i, making x the subject we get:
x=-1-y........iii
substituting iii in ii we get:
2(-1-y)+4y=-10
-2-2y+4y=-10
2y=-10+2
2y=-8
y=-8/2=-4
substituting the value of y in iii we get:
x=-1-(-4)
x=-1+4
x=3
therefore the first number is 3 and the second number is -4

What is the axis of symmetry for f(x) = 2x2 - 8x + 8?<br> Ox<br> = -2<br> Ox=-3<br> Ox=3<br> Ox=2
zepelin [54]

Answer:

  x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

For quadratic ax^2 +bx +c, the axis of symmetry is x = -b/(2a).

Here, we have a=2, b=-8, so the axis of symmetry is ...

  x = -b/(2a) = -(-8)/(2(2)) = 8/4

  x = 2
