Answer:

x = 2, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + y = 9 (1)

5x + 4y = 22 (2)

Multiply equation (1) by -4 and add to equation (2)

-12x - 4y = -36

5x + 4y = 22

-7x = -14

x = 2

Using any equation, solve for y

5(2) + 4y = 22

4y = 12

y = 3

Answer:

x = 2,  y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + y = 9

5x + 4y = 22

Multiply the first equation by -4

-4(3x + y) = 9*-4

-12x -4y = -36

Add this to the second equation to eliminate y

-12x -4y = -36

5x + 4y = 22

---------------------------

-7x    = -14

Divide each side by -7

-7x/-7 = -14/-7

x = 2

Now find y

3x+y = 9

3(2) +y = 9

6+y = 9

Subtract 6 from each side

-6+6 +y = 9-6

y = 3

find the exact atea under y=x^2 on the interval [0,2] by using an infinite number of circumscribed rectangles. (Hint: 1^2 + 2^2
sergeinik [125]

Answer:  \bold{\dfrac{8}{3}}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

\int\limits^2_0 {x^2} \, dx =\dfrac{x^3}{3}\bigg|^2_0=\bigg(\dfrac{2^3}{3}\bigg)-\bigg(\dfrac{0^3}{3}\bigg)=\dfrac{8}{3}-0=\dfrac{8}{3}

NOTE: Neither the Trapezoidal Rule or Reimann Sums can be used without the number of rectangles (n) you are separating the interval into.  Besides, they only provide an estimate. If you want the EXACT area, you must use integration.
