You can do substitution 2x-2=x^2 -x -6; isolate all terms on one side 0= x^2 -x-2x -6+2; combine like terms x^2 -3x -4=0; factor the quadratic (x-4)(x+1)=0; each term is zero x-4=0 so x=4 and x+1=0 so x=-1. Now, y=2•4-2=6 and y=2•(-1) -2= -4 ; solutions for the system are ( 4,6) and ( -1, -4)

Answer:

(4,6) or (-1,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

since both equations about x are equal to y, you can make x^2-x-6=2x-2

solve this quadratic equation, you get x=4 or -1

substitute x into y=2x-2

you get y=6 when x=4, or y= -4 when x=-1

in 1990 Jamaica's population of 2,466,000 was expected to grow exponentially by 1.1% each year. what is the range of the exponen

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Initial population is 2,466,000 ( p0 )

Growth is 1.1% each year ( r=1.1

p(t)=p0(1+r)t

After 30 years, the population of Jamaica should be 3.42 million by that calculation, but it is only 2.95 million, so apparently that growth rate was a little high, or wasn’t sustained.

A house blueprint has a scale of 1 in. : 4 ft. The length and width of each room in the actual house are shown in the table. Com

Mariulka [41]

We know that
scale------------> 1 in/4 ft
[blueprint]=scale*[actual]

Part 1) Living room
lenght (20 ft) -------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*20=5 in
width (8 ft) ----------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*8=2 in

Part 2) Kitchen
length (16 ft) -------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*16=4 in
width (16 ft) ----------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*16=4 in

Part 3) Office
length (8 ft) -------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*8=2 in
width (16 ft) ----------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*16=4 in

Part 4) Bedroom 1
length (8 ft) -------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*8=2 in
width (16 ft) ----------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*16=4 in

Part 5) Bedroom 2
length (20 ft) -------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*20=5 in
width (20 ft) ----------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*20=5 in

Part 6) Bathroom
length (6 ft) -------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*6=1.5 in
width (8 ft) ----------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*8=2 in
