The first step in determining the solution to the system of equations, y = –x2 – 4x – 3 and y = 2x + 5, algebraically is to set the two equations equal as –x2 – 4x – 3 = 2x + 5. what is the next step? set y = 0 in y = –x2 – 4x – 3. factor each side of the equation. use substitution to create a one-variable equation. combine like terms onto one side of the equation.

What is the order of magnitude for the number of liters in a large bottle of soda served at a party

The function a represents the cost of manufacturing product a, in hundreds of dollars, and the function b represents the cost of manufacturing product b, in hundreds of dollars. a(t) = 5t + 2 b(t) = 7t - 2t +4 find the expression that describes the total cost of manufacturing both products, a(t) + b(t). a. 7t^2 - 7t + 2 b. 7t^2 + 3 +6 c. 7t^2 + 7t - 6 d. 7t^2 - 3t + 6
