Solve by elimination.
The goal is to cancel out one of the variables in order to easily solve for the other variable.

Do this by changing the equations so that the coefficients of either x or y add up to 0.

Notice the coefficients of y are 3 and 3, if we make one of them negative then they add up to 0. 3+ (-3) = 0

Multiply 2nd equation by -1.

6x +3y = 9
-2x -3y = -1
__________
4x +0y = 8

Solve for x
4x = 8
x = 8/4 = 2

Plug x=2 back into one of original equations to find y.
---> 2(2) + 3y = 1
---> 4 + 3y = 1
---> 3y = -3
---> y = -1

Therefore solution is (2,-1)

Which relation is a function?

Ksivusya [100]

B. To see if it’s a function, it has to pass the vertical line test. That means draw a vertical line (going up and down) through any point on the graph and it can only go through one point. If it goes through more than 1, it’s not a function. Like in graph A, if you draw a vertical line at x=-2, it will go through two points, same at x=2. For graph b, no matter where you move a vertical line, it only passes through one point at a time, so it passes the vertical line test.

Find the area of a plane figure bounded by lines

natulia [17]

Answer: 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the points of intersection by solving the system.

y = x² + 2x + 4

y = x + 6

Solve by substitution:

x² + 2x + 4 = x + 6 ⇒ x² + x - 2 = 0 ⇒ (x + 2)(x - 1) = 0 ⇒ x = -2, x = 1

Now, integrate from x = -2 to x = 1
