The solutions  of the system of equations are (0, -6) and (7, 8)

Here we have the system of equations:

y=x^2−5x−6

y=2x−6

To solve this, we need to solve the equation:

x^2 - 5x - 6 = 2x - 6

x^2 - 7x = 0

x*(x - 7) = 0

We can see that the two solutions are:

x = 0

x = 7

Evaluating the line in these values we get:

y = 2*0 - 6 = -6

y = 2*7 - 6 = 8

Then the solutions are (0, -6) and (7, 8)

Answer:

30 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Main concepts:

Concept 1.  Geometric Sequence

Concept 2. Common ratio

Concept 3. Finding the next terms

Concept 1.  Geometric Sequence

Geometric sequences are a specific type of sequence with a pattern where a specific number is multiplied to each term to get the next term.

For instance, a completely different geometric sequence 1,2,4,8,16,... is geometric because you multiply any term by 2 to get the next term.

Concept 2. Common ratio

In a geometric sequence, this number that you can multiply by to get the next term (in the "1,2,4,8,16,..." example, the number 2) is called the common ratio because taking the ratio of two sequential terms of the sequence (dividing two terms in a row) always gives the same answer:

This process of finding ratios will yield a common ratio only if the sequence is a Geometric Sequence.

Concept 3. Finding the next terms

Since we're told that the sequence we're given in the question is a Geometric sequence, it must have a common ratio (otherwise, it wouldn't be a geometric sequence).

Find the common ratio by dividing sequential terms:

270/810 = 1/3

90/270 = 1/3

So, for the sequence in the question, the common ratio is 1/3.  Each term is multiplied by 1/3 to get the next term in the sequence.  (This is equivalent to dividing each term by 3 to get the next term in the sequence, if you prefer division and/or to avoid fractions)

So, to get the next two terms in the sequence, multiply by the common ratio:

90 * 1/3 = 30

30 * 1/3 = 10

So, the next two terms of the sequence are 30 and 10

The order of the equations from least number of solutions to greatest number of solutions is: C, B , and A.

In algebra, an expression is made up of several numbers, variables, and mathematical operations including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. One expression is, for instance, 3x + 2y - 5.

In algebra, an equation is a claim that two expressions are equal to one another. Often, it asks us to determine the value of a variable that would make the equation true.

Equation A:

4x + 12 = 2(2x + 3) + 6

4x + 12 = 4x + 12

This equation has infinitely many solutions, as 0 = 0 is always true.

Equation B:

5(x - 1) = 3(x + 7)

5x - 5 = 3x + 21

2x = 26

x = 13

This equation has one solution, which is x = 13.

Equation C:

2x - 4 = 2(x + 18)

2x - 4 = 2x + 36

-4 = 36

This equation has no solutions.

Hence, the order of the equations from least number of solutions to greatest number of solutions is: C, B , and A.

The mean age of the U.S. presidents at inauguration is 54.7 years and the population standard deviation is approximately 5.7 years.

To find the mean and population standard deviation of the ages of the U.S. presidents at inauguration, we first need to calculate the sum of the ages and the number of presidents in the data set.

The sum of the ages is:

57 + 61 + 57 + 57 + 58 + 57 + 61 + 54 + 68 + 51 + 49 + 64 + 50 + 48 + 65 + 52 + 56 + 46 + 54 + 49 + 50 + 47 + 55 + 55 + 54 + 42 + 51 + 56 + 55 + 51 + 54 + 51 + 60 + 62 + 43 + 55 + 56 + 61 + 52 + 69 + 64 + 46 + 54 + 47 = 2,405

There are 44 presidents in the data set.

Therefore, the mean age is:

mean = sum of ages / number of presidents = 2,405 / 44 = 54.7

To find the population standard deviation, we first need to calculate the sum of the squared deviations from the mean:

(57 - 54.7)² + (61 - 54.7)² + ... + (47 - 54.7)² = 3,391.5

Then, we divide the sum of squared deviations by the number of presidents and take the square root:

Answer: The answer is actually 12 pieces of vanilla cake.

The conjecture that can be made about the other number is option A: the other number is odd.

Let's assume that the two even numbers are x and y. Then, we can write their sum as x + y = 2a, where a is some even number.

Now, let's consider the sum of 6 and another number, which we can represent as 6 + z, where z is some unknown number. If this sum is even, then we can write it as 2b, where b is some even number.

So, we have the equations:

x + y = 2a (since the sum of two even numbers is even)

6 + z = 2b (since the sum of 6 and another number is even)

We can subtract 6 from both sides of the second equation to get:

z = 2b - 6

Now, we can substitute this expression for z into the first equation:

x + y = 2a

And we get:

x + y + z - 2z = 2a

x + (y + z) - 2z = 2a

x + (2b - 6) - 2z = 2a

x + 2b - 2z - 6 = 2a

This equation tells us that x + 2b - 2z - 6 is an even number (since 2a is even). Since x and 2b are even, the expression -2z - 6 must also be even. Therefore, -2z must be even. This means that z is odd (since an even number minus an even number is even, and -6 is even).

So, we can conclude that the other number (z) is odd. Option A is the correct answer.

To plot the above linear regression on a graph, follow the procedures outlined below.

You may use the following steps to plot the supplied data on a graph:

1) Create an x- and y-axis coordinate plane.

2) Label the x-axis with the numbers 1 through 13 (to represent the 13 data points).

3) Label the y-axis with a suitable scale that encompasses the data's greatest and lowest values (e.g., 0 to 2200 with 200 increments).

4) For each point, try to find  the associated x -value on the x-axis and the corresponding y-value on the y- axis, and then place a point at the intersection of the two values.

For example, if the first point is (1, 1000), you would identify the x-axis point labeled "1" and the y-axis point labeled "1000" and add a point at it  intersection.

5) based  on the pattern in the data, connect the points of the coordinares using  a line or a curve. Because the data appears to increase gradually with some fluctuations in this case, a line connecting the points would be appropriate.

The probability that both events A and B will occur is 1/3 or approximately 0.3333.

To find the probability of both events A and B occurring, we need to calculate the individual probabilities of each event and then multiply them together.

Event A: The first die is a 4 or less.

In a standard six-sided die, there are four outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4) that satisfy this condition. Out of the six possible outcomes, four are favorable, so the probability of event A is 4/6 or 2/3.

Event B: The second die is even.

In a standard six-sided die, there are three even outcomes (2, 4, 6) out of the six possible outcomes.

Therefore, the probability of event B is 3/6 or 1/2.

Then, we can use the arc length formula:

L = ∫[a,b] √(1 + (y')^2) dx

where a and b are the limits of integration. In this case, a = -2 and b = 2.

L = ∫[-2,2] √(1 + (-4)^2) dx

= ∫[-2,2] √(17) dx

= √(17) * [x]_(-2)^(2)

= 4√(17)

So the length of the curve y = 5 - 4x, -2 ≤ x ≤ 2, is 4√(17).

To check this answer, we can note that the curve is a line segment with endpoints (-2, 13) and (0.75, 1), and we can calculate its length using the distance formula:

L = √((0.75 - (-2))^2 + (1 - 13)^2)

L = √(18.25 + 144)

To calculate the amount of glitter needed to cover the prism completely, we first need to find the total surface area of the prism.

The prism consists of five faces: two rectangular faces with dimensions 18 m x 10 m, two triangular faces with base 18 m and height 10 m, and one rectangular face with dimensions 18 m x 25 m.

The total surface area of the prism can be calculated by adding the areas of all the faces together:

Total Surface Area = 2(18 m x 10 m) + 2(0.5 x 18 m x 10 m) + 18 m x 25 m

Total Surface Area = 360 m² + 180 m² + 450 m²

Total Surface Area = 990 m²

Given that 80 g of glitter is needed to cover each m², we can now calculate the total amount of glitter needed:

Total Glitter = Total Surface Area x Glitter per m²

Total Glitter = 990 m² x 80 g/m²

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor the expression x^2 - 12x - 45, we need to find two numbers that multiply to -45 and add to -12. Let's use the method of decomposition to find these two numbers:

x^2 - 12x - 45

We need to find two numbers that multiply to -45 and add to -12. Let's try -15 and 3:

x^2 - 12x - 45 = x^2 - 15x + 3x - 45

Now we can group the first two terms and the last two terms:

x^2 - 15x + 3x - 45 = x(x - 15) + 3(x - 15)

We can see that both terms have a common factor of (x - 15), so we can factor this out:

x(x - 15) + 3(x - 15) = (x + 3)(x - 15)

Therefore, the expression x^2 - 12x - 45 can be factored as (x + 3)(x - 15).

Each CD cost $14.90 before tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the price of each CD before tax "x".

We know that Ashley bought 2 CDs, so the total cost before tax would be 2x.

We also know that the sales tax on each CD was $0.80, so the total sales tax for both CDs would be 2(0.80) = $1.60.

So the total cost including tax would be:

2x + 1.60 = 31.40

To solve for x, we can start by subtracting 1.60 from both sides:

2x = 29.80

Then, we can divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:
