Solve 5x + 4/y =7 and 4x + x/y =5 simultaneously.
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(x, y) ≈ (1.1642, 3.3930) and (3.4358, -0.39297)
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the first equation for y, then substitute into the second.
5x +4/y = 7
4/y = 7 -5x
4/(7 -5x) = y
Then the second equation becomes ...
4x +x/(4/(7 -5x)) = 5
4x +x(7 -5x)/4 = 5
16x +7x -5x^2 = 20 . . . . . multiply by 4
5x^2 -23x +20 = 0 . . . . . put in standard form
We can use the quadratic formula to solve this.
x = (23±√((-23)² -4(5)(20)))/(2(5)) = (23±√129)/10
x = 2.3 ±√1.29 ≈ {1.1642, 3.4358}
y = 4/(7 -5x) = {3.3930, -0.39297}
Solutions are (x, y) ≈ (1.1642, 3.3930) and (3.4358, -0.39297).

Answer:
The graphs of the two function will not intersect.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a quadratic function f(x).
Also g(x) is given by a set of values as:
x g(x)
1 -1
2 0
3 1
As g(x) is a linear function hence we find out the equation of g(x) by the slope intercept form of a line: y=mx+c
let g(x)=y
when x=1 , g(x)=-1
-1=m+c----(1)
when x=2 , g(x)=0
0=2m+c------(2)
Hence, on solving (1) and (2) by method of elimination we get:
m=1 and c=-2
Hence, the equation of g(x) is:
g(x)=x-2
So clearly from the graph we could see that the graph of the two functions will never intersect.
