Answer:

\boxed{x = 4~~and~~y = -2}

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5y = 2 (times 5) 15x + 25y = 10

5x + 8y = 4 (times 3) 15x + 24y = 12

.

15x + 25y = 10

<u>15x + 24y = 12 </u>  <u>  </u>

y = -2

.

Substitute the value of y to one of equations

3x + 5y = 2

3x + 5(-2) = 2

3x - 10 = 2

3x = 2 + 10

3x = 12

x = \frac{12}{3}

x = 4

Over which intereval is the graph of f(x)= -x^2+3x+8 increasing?
aalyn [17]

Answer:

It is increasing when x < 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If you substitute x = 1 in the equation you get that y = 10 at that point which is the maximum point at which graph reaches in the y direction. As you can see, the slope of the derivative is increasing, which means that the slope of the tangent line is increasing before that point.

Hope this helps
