Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer we must solve each of the systems separately. Starting with the first one:

x + y = 2

2x - y = 10

We must find what x or y is equal to and then replace it in the second equation. I'll go with y as it seems easier:

x + y = 2

y = 2 - x

Now that we found y we replace it in the second equation this way. Be careful with the signs, the minus with change our signs:

2x - (2 - x) = 10

2x - 2 + x = 10

3x = 12

x = 12/3

x = 4

Now that we have x, we replace the variable with its value in one of the equations. Again, for simplicity I'll go with the one that seems easier.

4 + y = 2

y = 2 - 4

y = - 2

What is the solution to the equation 1^6 x = 2 ?

Dvinal [7]

1^6 is just 1 so 1x=2, you can just take away the one because it is a given that if there is an x there is a 1, so the answer is x=2

Rita bought 4 rulers for $4.00. If r represents the number of rulers purchased, which equation represents this situation?

Wittaler [7]

Answer: 4r = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Ruth bought 4 rulers and each ruler is to be represented by r. She therefore bought:

= 4r

She bought these for a total of $4.00 so the equation then becomes:

4r = 4.00

Equation representing situation is: 4r = 4

I need algebra help.....

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

$y=4(3)^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table given in the question,

x y Difference Ratio

1 12 - -

2 36 36-12 = 24 $\frac{36}{12}=3$

3 108 108-36 = 72 $\frac{108}{36}=3$

4 324 324-108 = 216 $\frac{324}{108}=3$

5 972 972-324 = 648 $\frac{648}{216}=3$

There is a common ratio of 3 in each successive term.

Therefore, data given in the table will represent an exponential function.

$y=a(b)^x$

For a point $(1, 12),$

$12=a(b)^1$

$ab=12$ ------(1)

For another point of the table $(2,36)$ ,

$36=a(b)^2$

$ab^2=36$ --------(2)

Equation (2) divided by equation (1)

$\frac{ab^2}{ab}=\frac{36}{12}$

$b=3$

From equation (1),

$3a=12$

$a=4$

Therefore, exponential function will be,

$y=4(3)^x$

What are the coordinates of the vertex of y=x²+4x+3?

Travka [436]

Answer:

(-2, -1).

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x² + 4x + 3

Completing the square:

y = (x + 4/2)^2 - (4/2)^2 + 3

y = (x + 2)^2 - 4 + 3

y = (x + 2)^2 - 1.

This is vertex form and the coordinates of the vertex are (-2, -1).
