X = 2
y = 3
You can simply set these two equal to each other and solve for x. Then plug in to find y.
Best to find the equation of the parabola first:
Its equation is y+12.5 = (x+1.5)^2, or y = -12.5 + (x+1.5)^2
Check the first possible x-intercept: let x = -2. Does y come out to 0?
y = -12.5 + (-0.5)^2 = -12.5 + 0.25. This is not equal to 0, so (-2,0) is not an x-intercept of this parabola. Continue checking each possible x-intercept until you find the right one (or ones).
False, 4-2(3+7) = -16 and 4-2•3+2•7= 12
Answer:
No solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
|-2x-10| + 4 = 2
Subtract 4 from each side
|-2x-10| + 4-4 = 2-4
|-2x-10| = -2
The absolute value is negative so there are no solutions.
Absolute values are always positive, so they cannot be negative.
