Answer:

Simply: It makes sure you get the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Using order of operations (pemdas) ensures you do the correct operations in the correct order. If not, then everyone could get loads of different answers for the same question. It provides order in the math world.

Hope this helps!

The length of a side of a rectangle is 2 units less than a number, and the width is 4 units more than the length. Which of the f
777dan777 [17]
Let's find the expressions for the length and width of the rectangle. The length (which we will call <em>l</em>) is 2 units less than some undefined number, thus we will use the variable <em>x</em>:
l = x - 2

The width is 4 more than this length:
w = l + 4 = (x - 2) + 4 = x + 2

Now, given that we have the length and width and are looking for the area, we need to multiply these expressions together.

One way to write this would simply be (x + 2)(x - 2). If we wanted to find a different way of writing the area, we could use FOIL to find all terms and get x^2 - 4.

The solutions of the given equations are given by equating the

variables to gives;

  • First part; 4.00 seconds
  • Second part; (0, -6) and (1, -5)
  • Third part; (4, 11) and (0, 7)
  • Fourth part: y = x² + 3·x + 2; x + y = 2

<h3>How can the (common) solution be found?</h3>

First part;

The given functions are;

y = -3·x² + 24·x + 3, and y = -4·x² + 25·x + 15

When the balloons collided, we have;

The height are equal, which gives;

y = y

-3·x² + 24·x + 3 = -4·x² + 25·x + 15

-3·x² + 24·x + 3 - (-4·x² + 25·x + 15) = x² - x - 12 = 0

Which gives;

x² - x - 12 = (x - 4) × (x + 3) = 0

x = 4, and x = -3

The time at which the balloon collide at the highest point is therefore;

  • At the time, x =<u> 4.00 seconds</u>

Second part;

The given system of equations are;

x - y = 6

y = x² - 6

y = x - 6

Which gives;

x - 6 = x² - 6

x = x²

Which gives;

x = 0 or x = 1

Similarly, we have;

x = y + 6

Which gives;

y = (y + 6)² - 6

y² + 11·y + 30 = 0

(y + 5)·(y + 6) = 0

Which gives;

y = -5, or y = -6

When y = -5, we have; x = -5 + 6 = 1

The solution are therefore;

  • (0, -6) and (1, -5)

Third part;

The equations are; y = x + 7 and y = x² - 3·x + 7

At the solution, the u-values are equal, which gives;

y = y

x + 7 = x² - 3·x + 7

x² - 3·x + 7 - (x + 7) = 0

x² - 4·x = 0

x·(x - 4) = 0

x = 4, or x = 0

When x = 4, y = 4 + 7 = 11

When x = 0, y = 0 + 7 = 7

The solutions are located at points;

  • (4, 11) and (0, 7)

Fourth part;

Given that the point of intersection of the line and the quadratic function

is the point (2, 0), we have;

On the linear function, when y = 0, x = 2

The possible linear function functions is therefore;

x + y = 2

From the quadratic function that accompanies the above linear function, we have;

y = x² + 3·x + 2

When x = 0, y = 0² + 3×0 + 2 = 2

Therefore;

  • The correct option is; y = x² + 3·x + 2, and x + y = 2

Options are:<br><br> X=2, y=3<br><br> X=3, y=2<br><br> X= -2, y=3<br><br> X=4, y=8
trapecia [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 5 = y - 5

2x = y

x = y/2

y - 3 = x + 1

Substitute the value of x here,

y - 3 = \rm{\dfrac{y}{2} + 1}

y - 3 = \rm{\dfrac{y + 2}{2}}

2y - 6 = y + 2

y = 8

Now, x = 8/2

x = 4

So, go for D part, it is the correct answer.

Good Night/Day !
