Answer:
x = ± 4
y = - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 0.5x² - 10 ------------------------(I)
y = -x² + 14 ------------------------(II)
Substitute the y value in equation (II)
0.5x² - 10 = -x² + 14 {Add x² to both sides}
0.5x² + x² -10 = 14 {combine like terms}
1.5x² - 10 = 14 {Add 10 to both sides}
1.5x² = 14 + 10
1.5x² = 24 {Divide both sides by 1.5}
1.5x²/1.5 = 24/1.5
x² = 16
x = ±4
Substitute x = 4 in (I)
y = 0.5 * 4² - 10
= 0.5*16 - 10
= 8- 10
y = -2
Substitute x = -4 in (I)
y = 0.5 * (-4)² - 10
= 0.5*16 - 10
= 8- 10
y = -2

Answer:
d = 290 -3x
Step-by-step explanation:
For each x feet that Armondo travels toward Bianca, Bianca travels 2x feet toward Armondo. The net effect is that the distance between them decreases by x+2x = 3x feet. The distance starts at 290 feet when x=0, so the distance can be described by ...
d = 290 -3x
Both equations are equivalent, so there are infinitely many solutions.
Answer:
a) 
b) 
c) 
d) 
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 
When factoring a binomial (a polynomial with two terms), what we will be looking for are the terms that are shared between them.
In this problem, it can be seen that both of these terms have and x. This means that we can factor it out to get
b) 
What are the common terms here?
It can be seen that each of these share a 2x, so our factored form would be
c) 
What about this one?
The common factor of this one is 5x, so our factored form would be
d) 
The common factor of this one is 
, so our factored form would be
