Answer:
Please see attached image and all steps below for both parts
Step-by-step explanation:
Task 1
The following system of equations includes a linear equation and a quadratic one:
it can be solved by using substitution in the second equation of the variable "y" by the linear expression of the first equation:
and this product of two factors will e zero when either factor is zero, that is: when x = 0, or when x = 9 [to make zero the binomial(x - 9)]
There are two solutions: x = 0 and x = 9.
When we graph both expressions in the system, we see that the line intercepts the parabola at the points (0, 2) and (9, 11). See attached image.
Task 2
Part 1:
Let's pick 30 as a number larger than 25. 30 can be written as 40 - 10
So we can use:
to calculate its square.
Part 2:
let's choose a=9 and b=10 so we use:
Step-by-step explanation:
As
- The graph of the function passes through the point (2,1), and
- y increases by 4 when x increases by 1.
so
x y
2 1
3 5
4 9
5 13
6 17
and so on
From the table:
As the slope-intercept form of the line is
putting m=4 and any point, let say (2, 1) to find y-intercept 'b'.
So putting and
in the slope-intercept form of the line
Therefore, the equation for the linear function will be:
