Answer 2

Pllug n Play
The instructions are there on the link.

Answer 3

I don't get that though.. :/

Answer 4

For the first one for the non-linear equation

Answer 5

What do I need to do for that one?

Answer 6

Put 4 in the first box and square the 4, 4 is the x value of the point (4,17)

Answer 7

that gives you 16 now put the y value in the next box. What is the y value of point 4,17 ??

Answer 8

now you should have 16 = 17 - 1 That is a true statement and veifies the first equation point.

I will leave the linear equation up to you. Are you in high school or college??

Answer 9

Ok hang on let me write this out so I understand it. :) this is college. I have had so much going on in my life recently that I haven't been able to give studying a lot of attention.

Answer 10

I have to leave very soon, do the work in the boxes provided for the linear equation provided in the link. You can also verify by solving the system using algebra.

Answer 11

Ok thank you for the help. Can you send me the answer so I can verify it when I get my results? so far I got the 4^2=16-1

Answer 12

17=3(4)+5?

Answer 13

Well I have already provided you the answer:
16=17-1
16=16 verified!

Answer 14

how did you get the 17? I got 4^2=16. 16-1 = 15.

Answer 15

nevermind..just realized I substitute 17 not 16 lol. sorry

Answer 16

You did it correct for the second one
17=3(4)+5
17=12 + 5
17=17 verified.

Look at the equation provided in the link. It does NOT state x^2 -1 = y
it states x^2 = y -1. Focus.

Answer 17

I completely get it now. this was such an easy question. sorry for posting lol!

Answer 18

You got it!

Answer 19
