C)

D)

You were correct, the exact answer is A. The others do not equal 23 besides that one. Good job!
In each case, you can use the second equation to create an expression for y that will substitute into the first equation. Then you can write the result in standard form and use any of several means to find the number of solutions.
System A
x² + (-x/2)² = 17
x² = 17/(5/4) = 13.6
x = ±√13.6 . . . . 2 real solutions
System B
-6x +5 = x² -7x +10
x² -x +5 = 0
The discriminant is ...
D = (-1)²-4(1)(5) = -20 . . . . 0 real solutions
System C
y = 8x +17 = -2x² +9
2x² +8x +8 = 0
2(x+2)² = 0
x = -2 . . . . 1 real solution
Answer: Increase in number or size, at a constantly growing rate. It is one possible result of a reinforcing feedback loop that makes a population or system grow (escalate) by increasingly higher amounts.

Hope I helped.
Answer:
The length of KH is 6 units and OH is 6.3 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the figure with lengths LO=5 and OK=4. we have to find the length of OH and KH.
In ΔLOH
By Pythagoras theorem
→ (1)
In ΔKOH,
→ (2)
In ΔKHL,

Using eq (1) and (2), we get


⇒ 
⇒ 
Put the above value in eq 2, we get
⇒ KH=6 units.
