The two dinosaurs probably crossed paths at estimated coordinates (- 1, 2.5).
To find where the two equations actually intersect, set them equal to each other.
- 1/2x + 3 = 2x + 4
Subtract 4 from both sides, and add 1/2x to both sides to combine like terms.
2 1/2x = - 1 --> 5/2x = - 1
Multiply by 2/5 on both sides to isolate x
x = - 1(2/5)
x = - 2/5
Now plug in to either of the two equations. I used 2x + 4
- 1/2(- 2/5) + 3 = y
1/5 + 3 = y
y = 3 1/5
The actual coordinates where the dinosaurs crossed paths was (- 2/5, 3 and 1/5).
My original estimate was (- 1, 2 1/2) because based on the graph drawn above the point of interest (the intersection) appears to be below the third unit on the y-axis as well as in between the negative two unit and origin on the x-axis. My estimate was also off because the x-axis is counting by twos which does not necessarily allow for an accurate estimate strictly based on the naked eye.
Because you are multiplying you add the exponents together. -5+6=1 so you only have 3 to the power of one left over or just 3 in the parentheses. Then multiply 2x3 to get 6.
The weight is 62 and a half lb per cubic feet.
Answer:
first multiply the numbers in side the parentheses, make the number an improper fraction(check for cross multiplication) then multiply.
