Answer:

  (x, y) = (2, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We would normally choose to use substitution when x or y could be easily solved-for without having fractions involved. That is not the case here. However, we observe that the term 3y appears in both equations, so we can substitute for "3y" instead of "y".

From the second equation, ...

  3y = 5x -16

Substituting into the first equation, ...

  2x +(5x -16) = -2

  7x = 14 . . . . . . . . . add 16

  x = 2 . . . . . . . . . .  divide by 7

Using our equation for y, we get ...

  3y = 5(2) -16 = -6

  y = -2 . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

The solution is (x, y) = (2, -2).

 4(5)² - 100 = 0
4(25) - 100 = 0
  100 - 100 = 0
               0 = 0

4(-5)² - 100 = 0
 4(25) - 100 = 0
   100 - 100 = 0
                0 = 0

The roots of the equation is positive or negative 5.

Equation of the graph
natka813 [3]

Answer:

A and C

Step-by-step explanation:

It can not be D, since that will mean that <em>the line is perfectly horizontal</em>, with 0 as its slope.

It can be C, since the <em>equation's slope is positive and has a negative y-intercept</em>, like the graph.

Changing around A gives us y = 2x - 3. That has a <em>positive slope and a negative y-intercept</em>, like the graph. So, A is a possibility.

Changing around B gives us y = ²/₃x + 3. This has a positive slope, <em>but also a positive y-intercept</em>, so B can not be the answer.

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

8,100

Step-by-step explanation:

7,200 - 6,400 = 800 increased in 50. Years

What percentage is 800 of 6,400 (%/100 = is/of)

x/100 = 800/6400 (cross multiply)

(800*100)/6400 = 12.50%

(12.50 * 7200)/100 = 900 increased

7,200 + 900 = 8,100

Answer:

  (c)  f(x) is an even degree polynomial with a positive leading coefficient.

Step-by-step explanation:

The leading terms of the two functions are ...

  f(x): x² (even degree, positive coefficient: 1)

  g(x): x³ (odd degree, positive coefficient: 1)

Then it is true that ...

  f(x) is an even degree polynomial with a positive leading coefficient
