Answer:

  one solution (11, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Both equations describe curves with positive slope. The y-intercept of the line (-7) is less than that of the root function (-2), so the line must intersect the root function in exactly one place. There is one solution.

__

Solved in the conventional way, the equation would become a quadratic, with two solutions. One of them is extraneous. (That is why I prefer a graphical solution.)

Given ...

  x -y = 7

  y = √(3x +3) -2

We can substitute for y to get ...

  x -7 = √(3x +3) -2

  x -5 = √(3x +3)

  x^2 -10x +25 = 3x +3 . . . . . . square both sides

  x^2 -13x +22 = 0 = (x -11)(x -2) . . . . . gives solutions x=11, x=2

The value x=2 does not satisfy the equation ...

  x -7 = √(3x +3) -2   ⇒   2 -7 = √(3·2 +3) -2   ⇒   -5 = 1 (false)

Find m/H.<br> 126⁰<br> F G<br> m/H=<br> (6x - 1)<br> H<br> (5x +17)
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

59 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

180 - 126 = 54

6x-1 + 5x + 17 +54 =180

11x + 70 = 180

11x = 180 -70

11x = 110

x =10

Therefore

6(10) - 1 = 59 degrees

Identify the translation of the parent function for y = |x + 8|. 8 units up 8 units right 8 units down 8 units left
padilas [110]
Hi there

The parent function is the following:
y = |x|

We need to translate the function 8 units left to get the function: y = |x + 8|

Therefore the answer is: 8 units left.
