Answer:
The answer would be negative 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The reason why it is negative one is because you line them up and yeah.
At f(-3) the graph is equal to -9.
In order to find the point on the graph, move over to -3 on the x axis. Then move down to find the point where it hits the parabola. You'll see that the parabola hits at point (-3, -9).
just use what you know about this stuff
(a+36d)/(a+20d) = (a+55d)/(a+36d)
(a+36d)^2 = (a+55d)(a+20d)
a^2+72ad+1296d^2 = a^2+75ad+1100d^2
3ad = 196d^2
3a = 196d
That is, for any value of n,
a=196n
d=3n
So, there is no unique solution.
If n=1, then a=196 and d=3. The terms are
196+20*3 = 256
196+36*3 = 304
196+55*3 = 361
304/256 = 361/304
You can easily verify that it works for any value of n.
1.5x + 0.2y = 2.68....multiply by 0.3
1.6x + 0.3y = 2.98...multiply by - 0.2
------------------------
0.45x + 0.06y = 0.804 (result of multiplying by 0.3)
- 0.32x - 0.06y = - 0.596 (result of multiplying by - 0.2)
----------------------add
0.13x = 0.208
x = 0.208/0.13
x = 1.6
1.5x + 0.2y = 2.68
1.5(1.6) + 0.2y = 2.68
2.4 + 0.2y = 2.68
0.2y = 2.68 - 2.4
0.2y = 0.28
y = 0.28/0.2
y = 1.4
solution (they intersect at) (1.6,1.4)
