In the figure below, find the exact value of y.

9514 1404 393

  2

Step-by-step explanation:

y is the geometric mean of the segment lengths.

  y = √(4·1)

  y = 2

You can also get there by considering the similarity of the triangles:

  short side / long side = y/4 = 1/y

  y^2 = 4 . . . . . . . multiply by 4y\

  y = √4 = 2 . . . . take the square root

solve systems of equations by graphing. a system of linear equations contains two or more equations e.g. y=0.5x+2 and y=x-2. the solution of such a system is the ordered pair that is a solution to both equations. to solve a system of linear equations graphically we graph both equations in the same coordinate system

a. (14,375+570)(5.3) b. 158,417$

step-by-step explanation:

a. you are basically just setting up the equation. f= amount of debt hence 14,375. g= how much she is borrowing from her parents weekly hence 570 and t= the interest on her debt. creating the equation.

b.   14,375+570= 14,945

      14,945 x 5.3 = 79,208.5

      79,208.5 x 2(years) = 158,417(answer)
