Answer:

The answer is the fourth option.

Step-by-step explanation:

You start by converting the equation into standard form, resulting in x2+7x+8. You would then use the coefficients and plug them into the quadratic formula, [-(7)+√7(7)-4(1)(8)]/2 and [-(7)-√7(7)-4(1)(8)]/2. Simplified, this would become (-7+√49-32)/2 and (-7-√49-32)/2. After adding the numbers in the square root, you are left with (-7+√17)/2 and (-7-√17)/2

256.
EXPLANATION:

When you are using exponents, you are basically just doing repeated multiplication.

Whatever the exponent (smaller number is) is how many times you multiply the base number by itself.

So 4 ^4 is 4 x 4 x 4 x 4. (4 fours.)

So 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 is 256.

What is the solution to the system of equations?<br><br> 6x – 9y = 16<br><br> 2x – 3y = 7

kifflom [539]

The first step for solving this problem is to multiply both sides of the bottom equation by -3.
$\left \{ {{6x-9y=16} \atop {-6x + 9y = -21}} \right.$
Add the two equations together.
6x - 9y - 6x + 9y = 16 - 21
Eliminate the opposites.
-9y + 9y = 16 - 21
Remember that the sum of two opposites equals 0,, so the equation becomes the following:
0 = 16 - 21
Calculate the difference on the right side of the equation.
0 = -5
This means that the statement $\left \{ {{6x-9y=16} \atop {2x-3y=7}} \right.$ is false for any value of x and y. That means that the answer to your question is (x,y) ∈ ∅,, or no solution.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
