-x - y = 8
2x - y = -1
Ok, we are going to solve this in 2 parts. First we have to solve for one of the variables in one of the equation in terms of the other variable. I like to take the easiest equation first and try to avoid fractions, so let's use the first equation and solve for x.
-x - y = 8 add y to each side
-x = 8 + y divide by -1
x = -8 - y
So now we have a value for x in terms of y that we can use to substitute into the other equation. In the other equation we are going to put -8 - y in place of the x.
2x - y = -1
2(-8 - y) - y = -1 multiply the 2 through the parentheses
-16 - 2y - y = -1 combine like terms
-16 - 3y = -1 add 16 to both sides
-3y = 15 divide each side by -3
y = -5
Now we have a value for y. We need to plug it into either of the original equations then solve for x. I usually choose the most simple equation.
-x - y = 8
-x - (-5) = 8 multiply -1 through the parentheses
-x + 5 = 8 subtract 5 from each side
-x = 3 divide each side by -1
x = -3
So our solution set is
(-3, -5)
That is the point on the grid where the 2 equations are equal, so that is the place where they intersect.

Answer:
- 0 ≤ m ≤ 7
- 0.4541 cm/month; average rate of growth over last 4 months of study
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part A</u>:
The study was concluded after 7 months. The fish cannot be expected to maintain exponential growth for any significant period beyond the observation period. A reasonable domain is ...
0 ≤ m ≤ 7
__
<u>Part B</u>:
The y-intercept is the value when m=0. It is the length of the fish at the start of the study.
__
<u>Part C</u>:
The average rate of change on the interval [3, 7] is given by ...
(f(7) -f(3))/(7 -3) = (4(1.08^7) -4(1.08^3))/4 = 1.08^3·(1.08^4 -1)
≈ 0.4541 cm/month
This is the average growth rate of the fish in cm per month over the period from 3 months to 7 months.
Answer:
38.46%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The total number of students = 325
The number of students preferred pineapples = 200
Therefore, The number of students preferred bananas = (325 - 200) = 125
Among 325 students, banana is preferred 125 students
Among 1 student, banana is preferred 125/325 students
Among 100 students, banana is preferred (125*100)/325 students
= 500/13
= 38.46% (2 decimal places)
