Number of cubes increases by 3 for each term.
an= 3n+1
In each case, you can use the second equation to create an expression for y that will substitute into the first equation. Then you can write the result in standard form and use any of several means to find the number of solutions.
System A
x² + (-x/2)² = 17
x² = 17/(5/4) = 13.6
x = ±√13.6 . . . . 2 real solutions
System B
-6x +5 = x² -7x +10
x² -x +5 = 0
The discriminant is ...
D = (-1)²-4(1)(5) = -20 . . . . 0 real solutions
System C
y = 8x +17 = -2x² +9
2x² +8x +8 = 0
2(x+2)² = 0
x = -2 . . . . 1 real solution
Answer:
The student will have to save $404.2 minimum monthly
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the total cost for the first year= $19,700
The grandparents paid half the amount = 1/2(19700)= $9850
The remaining balance to be paid is
19,700 - 9850=$9850
If an athlete paid $5000
The the remaining balance to be paid = 9850-5000=$4850
For the student to clear this amount in 12 months he must save
monthly 4850/12= $404.166
Hence the minimum amount to be saved per month is $404.2
