Solve the system of equations. −2x+5y =−35 7x+2y =25

Otrada [13]

Answer:

The equations have one solution at (5, -5).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a system of equations:

$\displaystyle{\left \{ {{-2x+5y=-35} \atop {7x+2y=25}} \right.}$

This system of equations can be solved in three different ways:

Graphing the equations (method used)
Substituting values into the equations
Eliminating variables from the equations

Graphing the Equations

We need to solve each equation and place it in slope-intercept form first. Slope-intercept form is $\text{y = mx + b}$ .

Equation 1 is $-2x+5y = -35$ . We need to isolate y.

$\displaystyle{-2x + 5y = -35}\\\\5y = 2x - 35\\\\\frac{5y}{5} = \frac{2x - 35}{5}\\\\y = \frac{2}{5}x - 7$

Equation 1 is now $y=\frac{2}{5}x-7$ .

Equation 2 also needs y to be isolated.

$\displaystyle{7x+2y=25}\\\\2y=-7x+25\\\\\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{-7x+25}{2}\\\\y = -\frac{7}{2}x + \frac{25}{2}$

Equation 2 is now $y=-\frac{7}{2}x+\frac{25}{2}$ .

Now, we can graph both of these using a data table and plotting points on the graph. If the two lines intersect at a point, this is a solution for the system of equations.

The table below has unsolved y-values - we need to insert the value of x and solve for y and input these values in the table.

$\begin{array}{|c|c|} \cline{1-2} \textbf{x} & \textbf{y} \\ \cline{1-2} 0 & a \\ \cline{1-2} 1 & b \\ \cline{1-2} 2 & c \\ \cline{1-2} 3 & d \\ \cline{1-2} 4 & e \\ \cline{1-2} 5 & f \\ \cline{1-2} \end{array}$

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 0,}$

$\displaystyle{y = \frac{2}{5}(0) - 7}\\\\y = 0 - 7\\\\y = -7$

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 1,}$

$\displaystyle{y=\frac{2}{5}(1)-7}\\\\y=\frac{2}{5}-7\\\\y = -\frac{33}{5}$

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 2,}$

$\displaystyle{y=\frac{2}{5}(2)-7}\\\\y = \frac{4}{5}-7\\\\y = -\frac{31}{5}$

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 3,}$

$\displaystyle{y=\frac{2}{5}(3)-7}\\\\y= \frac{6}{5}-7\\\\y=-\frac{29}{5}$

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 4,}$

$\displaystyle{y=\frac{2}{5}(4)-7}\\\\y = \frac{8}{5}-7\\\\y=-\frac{27}{5}$

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 5,}$

$\displaystyle{y=\frac{2}{5}(5)-7}\\\\y=2-7\\\\y=-5$

Now, we can place these values in our table.

As we can see in our table, the rate of decrease is $-\frac{2}{5}$ . In case we need to determine more values, we can easily either replace x with a new value in the equation or just subtract $-\frac{2}{5}$ from the previous value.

For Equation 2, we need to use the same process. Equation 2 has been resolved to be $y=-\frac{7}{2}x+\frac{25}{2}$ . Therefore, we just use the same process as before to solve for the values.

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 0,}$

$\displaystyle{y=-\frac{7}{2}(0)+\frac{25}{2}}\\\\y = 0 + \frac{25}{2}\\\\y = \frac{25}{2}$

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 1,}$

$\displaystyle{y=-\frac{7}{2}(1)+\frac{25}{2}}\\\\y = -\frac{7}{2} + \frac{25}{2}\\\\y = 9$

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 2,}$

$\displaystyle{y=-\frac{7}{2}(2)+\frac{25}{2}}\\\\y = -7+\frac{25}{2}\\\\y = \frac{11}{2}$

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 3,}$

$\displaystyle{y=-\frac{7}{2}(3)+\frac{25}{2}}\\\\y = -\frac{21}{2}+\frac{25}{2}\\\\y = 2$

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 4,}$

$\displaystyle{y=-\frac{7}{2}(4)+\frac{25}{2}}\\\\y=-14+\frac{25}{2}\\\\y = -\frac{3}{2}$

$\bullet \ \text{For x = 5,}$

$\displaystyle{y=-\frac{7}{2}(5)+\frac{25}{2}}\\\\y = -\frac{35}{2}+\frac{25}{2}\\\\y = -5$

And now, we place these values into the table.

$\begin{array}{|c|c|} \cline{1-2} \textbf{x} & \textbf{y} \\ \cline{1-2} 0 & 25/2 \\ \cline{1-2} 1 & 9 \\ \cline{1-2} 2 & 11/2 \\ \cline{1-2} 3 & 2 \\ \cline{1-2} 4 & -3/2 \\ \cline{1-2} 5 & -5 \\ \cline{1-2} \end{array}$

When we compare our two tables, we can see that we have one similarity - the points are the same at x = 5.

Equation 1 Equation 2

$\begin{array}{|c|c|} \cline{1-2} \textbf{x} & \textbf{y} \\ \cline{1-2} 0 & -7 \\ \cline{1-2} 1 & -33/5 \\ \cline{1-2} 2 & -31/5 \\ \cline{1-2} 3 & -29/5 \\ \cline{1-2} 4 & -27/5 \\ \cline{1-2} 5 & -5 \\ \cline{1-2} \end{array}$ $\begin{array}{|c|c|} \cline{1-2} \textbf{x} & \textbf{y} \\ \cline{1-2} 0 & 25/2 \\ \cline{1-2} 1 & 9 \\ \cline{1-2} 2 & 11/2 \\ \cline{1-2} 3 & 2 \\ \cline{1-2} 4 & -3/2 \\ \cline{1-2} 5 & -5 \\ \cline{1-2} \end{array}$

Therefore, using this data, we have one solution at (5, -5).

Verify x + 1⁄2 is a factor of P(x)= x2 + x -2

kumpel [21]

Answer:

Put p(x)=0.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-1=0 will give x=1/2. This means, If x=1/2 is given to the polynomial p(x), it will give a zero. P(1/2)=0.

Write a rule for each pattern. Then use your rule to find the next two terms in the pattern. The numbers are: 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 2

Leya [2.2K]

Triangular Number Sequence

This is the Triangular Number Sequence:

1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, ...

This sequence comes from a pattern of dots that form a triangle:

By adding another row of dots and counting all the dots we can
find the next number of the sequence.

A Rule

We can make a "Rule" so we can calculate any triangular number.

First, rearrange the dots (and give each pattern a number n), like this:

Then double the number of dots, and form them into a rectangle:

The rectangles are n high and n+1 wideand xn is how many dots in the triangle (the value of the Triangular Number n)

And we get (remembering we doubled the dots):

2xn = n(n+1)xn = n(n+1)/2

Rule: xn = n(n+1)/2

Example: the 5th Triangular Number is

x5 = 5(5+1)/2 = 15

Example: the 60th is

x60 = 60(60+1)/2 = 1830

Wasn't it much easier to use the formula than to add up all those dots?
