Answer:

The solution to the system of equations is \displaystyle \big(\frac{56}{29}, -\frac{16}{29}\big).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a system of equations:

\displaystyle \left \{ {{-3x+4y=-8} \atop {8x-y=16}} \right.

  • We need to solve these by substitution, so we need to solve one equation for a variable and then substitute the value of that variable into the other equation.
  • After doing this and solving for the opposite variable, we need to insert this into the original equation and solve for the initial variable.
  • Therefore, to solve one of the equations, we will solve it to put it in slope-intercept form and solve for y. The easier equation to work with is equation two.

\displaystyle 8x - y = 16\\\\-y = -8x + 16\\\\\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{-8x+16}{-1}\\\\y = 8x - 16

Now, we've solved for y. So, we can substitute this into either equation and solve for x.

\displaystyle -3x + 4(8x -16)=-8\\\\-3x + 32x - 64 = -8\\\\29x - 64 = -8\\\\29x = 56\\\\\frac{29x}{29}=\frac{56}{29}\\\\x = \frac{56}{29}

Now, we substitute our value for x into one of the original equations and solve for y.

\displaystyle 8\big(\frac{56}{29}\big)-y=16\\\\-y = 16 - 8\big(\frac{56}{29}\big)\\\\-y=\frac{16}{29}\\\\\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{\frac{16}{29}}{-1}\\\\y = -\frac{16}{29}

Therefore, the solution to our system of equations is:

  • \displaystyle \big(\frac{56}{29}, -\frac{16}{29}\big)

I believe the answer is C. If you were to plug in 1 for t, you would get h=22. Thus, the max height is 22 feet, and the time it took to get there was 1 second.

g(x) = 4x − 5 is a linear function (graph is a straight line), with slope 4. Knowing how to identify the slope is an essential skill.


If g(x) is represented by this table:


x f(x)

−1 −6

0 −3

1 0


and we have a reasonable expectation that this is a linear function, then we can choose any 2 points and find the slope of the line connecting them. For example, we'll find the slope connecting (-1, -6) and (1,0).

0-(-6)

It is: m = ------------ = 3

1-(-1)


So the slopes of these 2 linear functions are not the same.


The equation of g(x) is y = 3x - 3. In the table, note that when x=0, y= -3.


The y-intercept -3 of g(x) is identical to the y-intercept -3 of f(x).
