Looking at we can see that the first term is and the last term is where the coefficients are 3 and 16 respectively. Now multiply the first coefficient 3 and the last coefficient 16 to get 48. Now what two numbers multiply to 48 and add to the middle coefficient 26? Let's list all of the factors of 48: Factors of 48: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,48 -1,-2,-3,-4,-6,-8,-12,-16,-24,-48 ...List the negative factors as well. This will allow us to find all possible combinations These factors pair up and multiply to 48 1*48 2*24 3*16 4*12 6*8 (-1)*(-48) (-2)*(-24) (-3)*(-16) (-4)*(-12) (-6)*(-8) note: remember two negative numbers multiplied together make a positive number Now which of these pairs add to 26? Lets make a table of all of the pairs of factors we multiplied and see which two numbers add to 26 First Number Second Number Sum 1 48 1+48=49 2 24 2+24=26 3 16 3+16=19 4 12 4+12=16 6 8 6+8=14 -1 -48 -1+(-48)=-49 -2 -24 -2+(-24)=-26 -3 -16 -3+(-16)=-19 -4 -12 -4+(-12)=-16 -6 -8 -6+(-8)=-14 From this list we can see that 2 and 24 add up to 26 and multiply to 48 Now looking at the expression , replace with (notice adds up to . So it is equivalent to ) Now let's factor by grouping: Group like terms Factor out the GCF of out of the first group. Factor out the GCF of out of the second group Since we have a common term of , we can combine like terms So factors to So this also means that factors to (since is equivalent to ) ------------------------------------------------------------ Answer: So factors to

Angela 1 solutions Answer 128087 by jim_thompson5910(28546)   on 2008-12-14 15:16:10 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! The goal of solving ANY system of equations with 2 variables is to eliminate one variable so you can solve for the other variable. To eliminate one variable, simply "substitute" an expression in terms of the other variable. # 1 Note: I'm assuming that the second equation is Start with the first equation Plug in . In other words, replace "y" with 2x-1. Notice how the "y" term is gone. Now we can solve for "x". Add to both sides. Add to both sides. Combine like terms on the left side. Combine like terms on the right side. Divide both sides by to isolate . Reduce. So this is the first answer. -------------------------------- Go back to the second equation Plug in Multiply Subtract. So this is the second answer. ========================================= Answer: So the solutions are and which form the ordered pair (4,7) So the system is consistent and independent. # 2 Start with the second equation Plug in . In other words, replace "y" with x+4. Notice how the "y" term is gone. Now we can solve for "x". Distribute. Combine like terms on the left side. Add to both sides. Combine like terms on the right side. So this is the first answer. ------------------------------------------- Go back to the first equation Plug in Add. So this is the second answer. ========================================= Answer: So the solutions are and which form the ordered pair (14,18) So the system is consistent and independent. # 3 Start with the given system of equations: Now in order to solve this system by using substitution, we need to solve (or isolate) one variable. I'm going to solve for y. So let's isolate y in the first equation Start with the first equation Subtract from both sides Rearrange the equation Divide both sides by Break up the fraction Reduce --------------------- Since , we can now replace each in the second equation with to solve for Plug in into the second equation. In other words, replace each with . Notice we've eliminated the variables. So we now have a simple equation with one unknown. Distribute the negative Combine like terms on the left side Since this equation is NEVER true for any x value, this means there are no solutions. So the system is inconsistent.

Miscellaneous_Word_Problems/173173: This question is from textbook Can someone explain this to me and show step by step so I can have a better understand of this problem thank you so much. True or false: The function "f(x) = 3x" grows three times faster than the function "g(x) = x". Explain. thank you so much 1 solutions Answer 128052 by jim_thompson5910(28546)   on 2008-12-14 13:12:58 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! I'm assuming that the first function is Think about it this way. If , then and . If , then and . If , then and . If , then and . So we have this table of values x f(x) g(x) 0 1 0 1 3 1 2 9 2 3 27 3 From the table, we can see that increments by 1 as x increments by 1. On the other hand, we can see that goes from 1 to 3 (a difference of 2), 3 to 9 (a difference of 6), 9 to 27 (a difference of 18), etc. So the differences between each term is: 2, 6, 18, etc.... This means that from x=0 to x=1, the average rate of change for g(x) is 2. From x=1 to x=2, the average rate of change for g(x) is 6. From x=2 to x=3, the average rate of change for f(x) is 18. ------------------- So dividing the first average rate of change 2 by 1, we get . So from x=0 to x=1, is growing twice as fast as . Dividing the second average rate of change 6 by 1, we get . So from x=1 to x=2, is growing six times as fast as . Dividing the third average rate of change 18 by 1, we get . So from x=2 to x=3, is growing eighteen times as fast as . As you can see, the exponential function is not growing at a constant rate. So cannot be growing 3 times faster than Note: the function does however grow three times faster than , but that is for another problem. So that means that the statement is false.
