Answer:
A.35
Step-by-step explanation:
trust bro
The answer is -6 because the square root of 36 is 6, but then you have to add the negative in front of it.
Answer: Choice B) (2,0)
======================================
Set the first piece equal to zero and solve for x
x^2 - 4 = 0
x^2 = 4
x = sqrt(4) or x = -sqrt(4)
x = 2 or x = -2
Keep in mind that the first piece y = x^2-4 is only graphed when x = 2 or larger, so we ignore x = -2. This is one x intercept, but there may be more. Let's check the other graph to see what we get.
----------
Set the second piece equal to zero and solve for x
x-2 = 0
x-2+2 = 0+2
x = 2
We get the same result as above in the prior section. Because of this, the two pieces connect at this junction point.
The x intercept x = 2 leads to the location (2,0). The x intercept always occurs when y = 0.
The graph below shows this.
side note: the red piece y = x^2 - 4 looks linear, but it's actually not a straight line. It's just a really stretched out curve.
For this case we can propose a system of equations:
x: Let the variable that represents the number of small cookies
y: Let the variable that represents the number of large cookies
According to the statement we have:

We multiply the first equation by -2:

We have the following equivalent system:

We add the equations:

We look for the value of the variable "x":

Answer:
They sold 80 small cookies and 50 large cookies
