Answer:

j

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the given values into x² + x + 1 and check if result is prime

x = - 4

(- 4)² - 4 + 1 = 16 - 4 + 1 = 13 ← prime

(- 2)² - 2 + 1 = 4 - 2 + 1 = 3 ← prime

(- 3)² - 3 + 1 = 9 - 3 + 1 = 7 ← prime

4² + 4 + 1 = 16 + 4 + 1 = 21 ← not prime

x = 4 serves as a counterexample to disprove this conclusion

Enter the system represented on the graph below. Find and explain the meaning of the point of intersection of the lines.
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

y = -2x+4

y = (3/2)x -3

The point of intersection is (2, 0), or x=2 and y=0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The downward-sloping line drops 2 grid squares for each 1 it goes to the right, so its slope is -2. It intersects the y-axis at +4. In slope-intercept form, its equation is ...

y = slope · x + (y-intercept)

y = -2x + 4

Similarly, the upward-sloping line rises 3 grid squares for each 2 it goes to the right, so its slope is 3/2. It intersects the y-axis at -3. Its equation is ...

y = (3/2)x -3

The two lines intersect at the point where x=2 and y=0, so the coordinates are (2, 0). These are the values of x and y that satisfy both equations, so are the solution to the system.

Answer:

a) one solution

b) no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Systems of equations can be described as having one solution, no solution or infinite solutions:

One solution:  'x' and 'y' are equal to only one value

No solution:  'x' and 'y' can not be solved with the given equations

Infinite solutions:  values for 'x' and 'y' include all real numbers

In order to evaluate the systems, putting them in the same format is your first step:

a) - y  = -5x - 6 or y - 5x = 6

   y - 5x = -6

Since both equations have the same expression 'y - 5x', but there are equal to opposite values, this system would have no solution, as this would not be possible to calculate.

b) y + 3x = -1

  y = 3x -1 or y - 3x = -1

Solving for 'y' by adding the equations and eliminating 'x', gives us:

2y = -2 or y = -1

Using y = -1 to plug back into an equation and solve for 'x':  -1 + 3x = -1 or x = 0.  Since 'x' and 'y' can be solved for a value, the system has just one solution.
