uhm the answer is D. sorry if am wrong
To find the intersection points, you take x^2 - 4x + 9 = -2x + 17
This gives x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0,
which factorises to (x - 4)(x + 2) = 0, giving the solutions x = 4 or x = -2
From the graph, we can see that x is positive, meaning x = 4, so a = 4.
Substituting x = 4 into y = -2x + 17, we get y = -2(4) + 17 = 9, so b = 9.
a + b = 4 + 9 = 13. The answer is B.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
to compare them, we need to convert them into like fractions
4/3 and 5/2
lcm of 3 and 2 is 6
4/3 × 2/2 = 8/6
5/2 × 3/3 = 15/6
15/6 is greater than 8/6
<em><u>so 5/2 is greater than 4/3</u></em>
similarly,
-3/2 and -4/5
we need to convert them into like fractions
lcm of 2 and 5 is 10
-3/2 × 5/5 = -15/10
-4/5 × 2/2 = -8/10
-8/10 is greater than -15/10
<u><em>so -4/5 is greater than -3/2</em></u>
Hope this helps
plz mark as brainliest!!!!
