Answer:
{-5, -2}
Step-by-step explanation:
In a case like this please use parentheses to remove ambiguities. If I were to take your "x+5/x+2" literally, I'd have to write x plus 5/x plus 2.
I suspect that you actually meant (x + 5) / (x + 2), and will start with that.
First of all, this function is not defined at x = -5 or at x = -2. Thus, -5 and -2 are critical points.
Secondly, there may be one or more critical points beyond this. To find out, we have to differentiate (x+5)/(x+2):
(x + 2)(1) - (x + 5)(1)
f '(x) = ------------------------------
(x + 2)
Here it's clear that x cannot = -2, which would cause division by zero.
Thus, our critical values are {-5, -2}.
Answer:
x=1 y=7
Step-by-step explanation:
−5x+2y=9
y=7x
Substitute the second equation into the first
-5x +2(7x) = 9
Distribute
-5x +14x = 9
Combine like terms
9x=9
Divide by 9
9x/9 =9/9
x= 1
Now find y
y = 7(1)
y = 7
