Answer:

The system of equations she could write is:

y = -x² + 4x

y = x - 4

The solutions are (-1 , -5) and (4 , 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

-x² + 4x = x - 4

That means two equations one quadratic which is in the left hand side and the other is linear which is in the right hand side.

They represented graphically by a parabola and a line, the solution of it will be the points of intersection of the two graphs

To find the system of equations take each side and equate it by y

∵ y = -x² + 4x

∵ y = x - 4

∴ The system of equations is:

y = -x² + 4x

y = x - 4

Let us solve this system using -x² + 4x = x - 4

∵ -x² + 4x = x - 4

- Subtract x from both sides

∴ -x² + 3x = -4

- Add 4 to both sides

∴ -x² + 3x + 4 = 0

- Multiply both sides by -1

∴ x² - 3x - 4 = 0

Let us use the factorization to solve it

∵ x² = (x)(x)

∵ -4 = (1)(-4)

∵ (x)(1) = x

∵ (x)(-4) = -4x

∵ x + -4x = - 3x ⇒ middle term

∴ The factors of x² - 3x - 4 are (x + 1)(x - 4)

- Substitute x² - 3x - 4 by its factors

∴ (x + 1)(x - 4) = 0

Equate each factor by 0 to find the values of x

∵ x + 1 = 0

- Subtract 1 from both sides

∴ x = -1

∵ x - 4 = 0

- Add 4 to both sides

∴ x = 4

Substitute the values of x in the equation y = x - 4 to find y

∵ y = -1 - 4

∴ y = -5

∵ y = 4 - 4

∴ y = 0

The solutions are (-1 , -5) and (4 , 0)

Kipish [7]

To get the probability of two individual events both occurring, you have to multiply the probabilities of their individual events occurring. Therefore in this problem, the probability that a student selected at random will pass both French 101 and French 102 is 0.683 (.75 x .91). The answer is already rounded to three decimal places.

Part a) Use a system of inequalities to model the scenario

Let

x-------> represent babysitting hours

y-------> represent tutoring hours

we know that

$x+y \leq20$ --------> inequality $1$

$6x+10y \geq 75$ --------> inequality $2$

Part b) Use the model created in part A to create a graph representing Jeanne’s probable income earned and possible number of hours worked this week

we know that

$x+y \leq20$ --------> inequality $1$

This inequality represent Jeanne’s possible number of hours worked this week

Using a graph tool

the solution of this inequality is the shaded area

see the attached figure N $1$

$6x+10y \geq 75$ --------> inequality $2$

This inequality represent Jeanne’s probable income earned this week

Using a graph tool

the solution of this inequality is the shaded area

Part c) Analyze the set of coordinate values that represent solutions for the model created in part A. Choose one of the coordinates within the solution and algebraically prove that the coordinate represents a true solution for the model

we have the system of inequalities

$x+y \leq20$ --------> inequality $1$

$6x+10y \geq 75$ --------> inequality $2$

the solution of the system of inequalities is the shaded area
