A science test, which is worth 100 points, consists of 24 questions. Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 points. If x is
the number of 3-point questions and y is the number of 5-point questions, the system shown represents this situation. x + y = 24 3x + 5y = 100 What does the solution of this system indicate about the questions on the test? The test contains 4 three-point questions and 20 five-point questions. The test contains 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions. The test contains 14 three-point questions and 10 five-point questions. The test contains 20 three-point questions and 8 five-point questions.

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
a.)x^2 and y^2 are always greater than zero.(assuming real x and y).
=>x^2<=x^2+y^2
=>|x|(x^2)<=|x|(x^2+y^2)
=>|x^3|<=|x|(x^2+y^2)
b. similarly, |y^3|<=|y|(x^2+y^2)
=>|f(x,y)|=|x^3+y^3|/(x^2+y^2)=|x|+|y|
c. let h is very small number (close to zero but positive)
lim (x,y)-> (0,0) f(x,y)=(x^3+y^3)/(x^2+y^2)
putting x=h and y=h and approaching h->0
lim h->0 f(h)=2h=0

Answer:
(x, y) = (-1, -16) or (3, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Perhaps you want to solve the system of equations ...
- y = x^2 +2x -15
- y -4x = -12
Substituting the first expression for y into the second equation gives ...
x^2 +2x -15 -4x = -12
x^2 -2x -3 = 0 . . . . . . . . add 12
(x -3)(x +1) = 0 . . . . . . . factor
Solutions are the values of x that make the factors zero: x = 3, x = -1.
The corresponding values of y are ...
y = -12 +4x
y = -12 +4{-1, 3} = -12 +{-4, 12} = {-16, 0}
The solutions to the system are ...
(x, y) = (-1, -16) or (3, 0)
