Answer:

x = 3/2

y = 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 4

x = y - 1

substitute y - 1 in for x in the first equation, to find y

y - 1 + y = 4

2y - 1 = 4

add 1 on both sides

2y - 1 = 4

+1 +1

2y = 5

divide by 2 on both sides

2y/2 = 5/2

y = 5/2

subtitute y in for the second equation, to find x

x = 5/2 - 1

x = 5/2 - 2/2

x = 3/2

so x = 3/2 and y = 5/2

to double check, plug x and y in the first equation

3/2 + 5/2 = 4

8/2 = 4

4 = 4

Describe the end behavior of the graphed function

Troyanec [42]

You have to consider the “ends” of the x-axis, the far right (for infinitely large values of x) and left (for infinitely small values of x) of the graph.

From the diagram above you can see that:

When $x\rightarrow -\infty,$ then $y=f(x)\rightarrow 1$ (notice that as the values of x get smaller and smaller, the graph gets closer and closer to the line y=1);
When $x\rightarrow \infty,$ then $y=f(x)\rightarrow 1.$ (notice that as the values of x get larger and larger, the graph gets closer and closer to the line y=1).
