Answer:
x = 1 ,or x = -7
Obviously, the true answer is not in the options given.
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 6x - 6 = 10
The above equation can not be factorized, hence the use of Almighty Formula.
x = [-b +- √b² - 4ac] / 2a
Where a = 1, b = 6, c = -6
x = [-6 +- √6² - (4*1*-6)] / 2*1
x = [-6 +- √36 - (-24)] / 2
x = [-6 +- √36 + 24] / 2
x = [-6 +- √60] / 2
x = [-6 +- 7.75] / 2
x = [-6 + 7.75] / 2 ,or x = [-6 - 7.75] / 2
x = 1.75/2 ,or x = -13.75/2
x = 0.875 ,or x = -6.875
Approximately
x = 1 ,or x = -7
It's B.
You can think of the action of multiplying matrix <em>A</em> onto any other matrix <em>X</em> as
• preserving the first row of <em>X</em> due to the +1 in the first column of the first row,
• negating the second row of <em>X</em> due to the -1 in the second column of the second row, and
• preserving the third row of <em>X</em> due to the +1 in the third column of the third row.
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
We have then:
x: number of rides
y: total cost
We now write the equations for each park.
For The Thrill amusement park:
y = 5x + 40
For The Splash water park:
y = 3x + 60
Answer:
A system of equations that could be used to determine the solution where the cost per ride of the two amusement parks, and, is the same is:
y = 5x + 40
y = 3x + 60
