What are the ordered pairs of the

9966 [12]

Start by writing the system down, I will use $y$ to represent $f(x)$

$y=x^2-5x+3\wedge y=-3$

Substitute the fact that $y=-3$ into the first equation to get,

$-3=x^2-5x+3$

Simplify into a quadratic form ( $ax^2+bx+c=0$ ),

$x^2-5x+6=0$

Now you can use Vieta's rule which states that any quadratic equation can be written in the following form,

$x^2+x(m+n)+mn=0$

which then must factor into

$(x+m)(x+n)=0$

And the solutions will be $m,n$ .

Clearly for small coefficients like ours $5,6$ , this is very easy to figure out. To get 5 and 6 we simply say that $m=3, n=2$ .

This fits the definition as $5=3+2$ and $6=2\cdot3$ .

So as mentioned, solutions will equal to $m=3, n=2$ but these are just x-values in the solution pairs of a form $(x,y)$ .

To get y-values we must substitute 3 for x in the original equation and then also 2 for x in the original equation. Luckily we already know that substituting either of the two numbers yields a zero.

So the solution pairs are $(2,0)$ and $(3,0)$ .

Hope this helps :)

Target sells 24 bottles of water for $3, and 36 bottles of water for $4. Which is the better buy and by how much

Oksana_A [137]

The better buy would be the 36 bottles of water for 4$ because it would be 9 bottles per dollar other than the 24 which is 8 bottles per every dollar. Hope it helps!

A textbook in the college bookstore had an original price of $185.50. Since then the inflation rate has been 4%. Find the curren

lbvjy [14]

So you want to multiply 185.5 by 1.04 to get the 4% inflation. if you do that then you get 192.92
