How to solve using elimination method.

First, add the two equations.

   2x - 3y = 25

+  5x + 3y = 10

7x=35

The y values got eliminated.

Next, divide 7 from both sides.

7x/7=35/7

x=5

Next, plug-in x=5 into one of the equations.

2(5) - 3y = 25

10-3y=25

Subtract 10 from both sides.

-3y=15

Divide -3 from both sides.

y=-5

Find the equation of the parabola that has zeros of x = - 6 and x = 6 and a yintercept of (0, 4) .

Answers

Since the zeros are symmetrical to the y axis, the equation can be written as
y=a(x-b)(x+b), where a is a scale factor and b is x intercept. By plugging in the zeros, you get y=A(x-6)(x+6). Now we can plug in the (0,4) and solve for a to get the scale factor.

4=A(0-6)(0+6)
4=A(-36)
-36A=4
A=-1/9

Therefore the equation is Y=-1/9(x-6)(x+6), or Y=-1/9(x^2-36)

Construct the circle that circumscribes image DEF.

Answers

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

General outlineConstruct the perpendicular bisectors of DE, EF, and DF.Identify the circumcenter. Draw the circumcircle.

Circles & Circumcircles

To construct a circle, one must know the center point of the circle, and the circle's radius.
The circle that circumscribes a triangle (called a circumcircle), has a circumcenter (center point) that is the point of concurrency (a point where more than two lines intersect at the same point) of all three perpendicular bisectors (perpendicular lines that happen to cut a given line segment exactly in half) of the sides of the triangle.

Construct the circle with a center at the circumcenter, and a radius out to any one of the vertices of the triangle.  The circumcenter is equidistant from all three vertices, so the circle draw will contain all three vertices.

Constructing perpendicular bisectors

To construct perpendicular a bisector, recall that a perpendicular bisector is a line containing all points that are equidistant the end points of a line segment (each point on the line is the same distance from both segment endpoints simultaneously).

So, if we can find two points that are the equidistant from the two segment endpoints, we'll have two points on the line, and to draw any line, one only needs two distinct points, and the straightedge.

Finding a point that is equidistant from two given points

Set the compass to any radius that is larger than half the distance between the two endpoints.  If uncertain of a "good" choice, one can simply choose the length of the line segment itself as a radius.

Setting the center of the compass circle on one endpoint, draw an arc such that the arc will pass through the perpendicular line we're trying to construct twice.  If uncertain, draw the entire circle.  Keeping the radius saved.

With the same radius, setting the center of the compass circle to the second endpoint, draw and arc such that the arc intersects the first circle two times.  If it doesn't intersect two times, the radius chosen at the beginning was too small.  Start the entire process over with a larger radius.

These two points of intersection are equidistant from the two endpoints of the line segment, and thus, they are on the perpendicular bisector of the line segment.

Using those two points, and a straightedge, draw the line containing those two points, and extend it generously in both directions.

Process

Steps 1-5 in pink; steps 6-10 in green; steps 11-15 in blue (see diagram):

Set compass radius to length DEDraw circle, centered at D, through E.  Keep radius set.Draw circle, centered at E, through D.Identify points of intersection of the circles from steps 2 & 3, M & NDraw line  MNSet compass radius to length EFDraw circle, centered at E, through F.  Keep radius set.Draw circle, centered at F, through E.Identify points of intersection of the circles from steps 7 & 8, Q & RDraw line  QRSet compass radius to length DFDraw circle, centered at D, through F.  Keep radius set.Draw circle, centered at F, through D.Identify points of intersection of the circles from steps 12 & 13, S & TDraw line  STIdentify point of concurrency of line MN, line QR, and line ST;  label it point PSet compass radius to length DP (or EP, or FP)Draw circle, centered at P, through points D, E, and F.

Note:  Since all three perpendicular bisectors intersect at the same point, it is only necessary to find two of three, not all three.  So, one could skip constructing one of those three perpendicular bisectors (either steps 1-5, 6-10, or 11-15), and still be able to construct the circumcircle correctly.

Answers

The correct option is an open circle at 5 and a bold line starts at 5 and is pointing to the right.

The given inequality is -3(2x-5)<5(2-x).

What is inequality?

Inequality is a declaration of an order relationship between two numbers or algebraic expressions, such as greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, or less than or equal to.

At first simplify each side

LHS of inequality -3(2x - 5) = -3(2x) + -3(-5) [∵(-)(-) = (+)]

⇒ -3(2x - 5) = - 6x + 15

Now, RHS of the inequality 5(2 - x) = 5(2) + 5(-x) [∵(+)(-) = (-)]

⇒ 5(2 - x) = 10 - 5x

Now, - 6x + 15 < 10 - 5x

Subtract 15 from both sides

That is, - 6x < -5 - 5x

Add 5x to both sides

That is, - x < - 5

Remember the coefficient of x is negative, and then when you divide both sides by it you must reverse the sign of inequality.

Now, the coefficient of x is -1

So, divide both sides by -1

Then, x > 5.

Hence, the correct option is an open circle at 5 and a bold line starts at 5 and is pointing to the right.

Hello! I hope you are having a nice day. My name is Galaxy and I will be helping you with this problem. We can solve this problem in 2 steps, respectively Theory and Solving.

I'll go ahead and start with the Theory.

Theory

Before we attempt to solve the problem mathematically, we must first figure out how we're going to solve this problem.  

We know that we have a line and a point, we can start by graphing the equation and point that we've received.

Solving

Now that we have our points plotted and our equations graphed, we can start to see that something odd is happening, the given point is on the line itself.

We can check this by inputting the points into our equation:

[tex](-4)+2(-3)=-10?\\(-4)+(-6)=-10?\\-10=-10[/tex]

This proves that our point is on the line that we were given.

According to the basic rules of Euclidean Geometry, we know that parallel lines can never intersect each other and due to this there cannot be any solution to this problem.

Any other line using this point would intersect the given line, and due to this, this problem has no real solutions.

* The only line that can use these points and graph is the line provided, and that cannot work due to the lines intersecting at an infinite number of points.

Cheers,
Galaxy.

The linear relation of the height as a function of the number of weeks is:

y = 0.5*x

How to find the linear relation?

A general linear relation is written as:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope.

If we know that the line passes through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope is:

[tex]a = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

In this case, we have the points of the form (week, height).

(4, 2)

(6, 3)

(8, 4)

If we use any two of these we can get the slope, so using the first two:

a = (3 - 2)(6 - 4) = 1/2 = 0.5

y = 0.5*x + b

To get the value of b, we can use the first point, it says that when x = 4, we have y = 2, then:

2 = 0.5*4 + b

2 = 2 + b

0 = b

Then the linear relation of the height as a function of the number of weeks is:

y = 0.5*x
