Step-by-step explanation:
- 2x-2y=-6
3x+4y=8
multiply equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 2
- 6x-6y=18
6x+8y=16
Add
2y=34
y= 34÷2
y=17
substitute 17 for y in equation (2)
3x+4y=8
3x+4(17)=8
3x+68=8
3x=8-68
3x=-60
x=-60÷3
x=-20
x=-20,y=17
An integer is close to zero if it is "small".
By small, we mean that it is small in absolute value. In fact, for any given distance
, there are two integers that are
units away from zero:
and
.
So, for example, -6 is close to zero than 8, because -6 is six units away from zero, while 8 is eight units away from zero.
So, the answer is B, -8, because it is 8 units away from zero. The other options A, C and D are, respectively, 12, 10 and 14 units away from zero.
the assumption being that "x" is a plain variable whilst "y" is a function, that matters because the chain rule would be needed for a function, not so for a plain variable.

now, we know that y(5) = -23, which is another way of saying that when x = 5, y = -23, but we already knew that, we can get that by simply plugging it into the equation hmmm y'(5), well

35-15 is 20. and 43-26 is 17. These two are different because you are regrouping in the 2d problem, as in the first, you just subtract.
Yes. If we wanted to get even more specific, -2 is an integer, which falls under the label of the real numbers. √-2, on the other hand, is an imaginary number. The square root of -1 doesn't exist in the real numbers, so we invent a new number i with the property that i² = -1. Blending real and imaginary numbers together creates <em>complex numbers, </em>numbers with a real and imaginary part. This extension of the number system is tremendously useful because it essentially makes numbers two-dimensional, allowing us to manipulate and study them through a geometric lens.
