Answer:
Students should be able to find the x-intercepts of a quadratic function using both factoring and completing the square. All that should be given to students is the standard form of a quadratic equation in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c.
Step-by-step explanation:
9.2x10^-8
Move the decimal to the right 8 times. Since it is moved to the right, the exponent is negative.
Answer:
x = -5
y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
<em><u>Since you have y, plug that into the equation:</u></em>
-2x - 7y = 24
-2x - 7(-2) = 24
-2x + 14 = 24
<u><em>Then, subtract 14 from both sides:</em></u>
-2x + 14 = 24
- 14 - 14
__________
-2x = 10
<u><em>Finally, divide both sides by -2:</em></u>
-2x = 10
x = -5
So now you have, x = -5 and y = -2.
