So let's start out by labeling Ethan as X
Since 85 is 1/3 of what Ethan drove, that means Ethan drove 3 times of 85.
85= (3x) -21
85 -21 = 3x
60=3x
20 = x
Answer:
<u>The system has two solutions:</u>
<u>x₁ = 5 ⇒ y₁ = -10</u>
<u>x₂ = -2 ⇒ y₂ = 11</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve the system of equations, this way:
y = -3x + 5
y = x ² - 6x - 5
Replacing y in the 2nd equation:
y = x ² - 6x - 5
-3x + 5 = x ² - 6x - 5
x ² - 3x - 10 = 0
Solving for x, using the quadratic formula:
(3 +/- √(9 -4 * 1 * -10))/2 * 1
(3 +/- √9 + 40)/2
(3 +/- √49)/2
(3 +/- 7)/2
x₁ = 10/2 = 5
x₂ = -4/2 = -2
x₁ = 5 ⇒ y₁ = -10
x₂ = -2 ⇒ y₂ = 11
<u>As we can see the system has two different solutions</u>
The series is a convergent p-series with p = 3
<h3>How to know it is a divergent or a convergent series</h3>
We would know that a series is a convergent p series when we have ∑ 1 np. Then you have to be able to tell if the series is a divergent p series or it is a convergent p series.
The way that you are able to tell this is if the terms of the series do not approach towards 0. Now when the value of p is greater than 1 then you would be able to tell that the series is a convergent series.
The value of 
The formular for this is
∑
where n = 1
we know it is convergent because p is greater than 1. 3>1
