First we need to find where the 2 graphs intercept.
x^2 + 3 = - (x^2 - 4x + 4) + 7
x^2 + 3 = -x^2 + 4x + 3
2x^2 - 4x = 0
2x(x - 2)
x = 0 , 2. are x coordinates of the 2 intercepts.
The table is missing, so i have attached it.
Also, the correct question is;
The surface area of the East China Sea is k times the surface area of the Baltic Sea.
Work out the value of k.
Give your answer to the nearest whole number
Answer:
k = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
From the attached table,
Surface area of east china = 1.25 × 10^(6) km²
Surface area of Baltic sea = 4.22 × 10^(5) km² = 0.422 × 10^(6) km²
We are told that the surface area of East China Sea is k times that of the surface area of the Baltic Sea.
Thus;
1.25 × 10^(6) = k × 0.422 × 10^(6)
k = 1.25/0.422
k = 2.96
Approximating to whole number gives;
k = 3
(1, 3) represent a solution to the equation.
