The ratio of gifts wrapped in red to gifts wrapped in green is 3:5. If there are 32 total gifts, how many of each are wrapped in red? In green?

Step-by-step explanation:

This is probably pretty late, but I'll do it anyway.

There are 8 parts all together.

3x + 5x = 32             Combine the terms on the left.

8x = 32                     Divide by 8

8x = 32/8

x = 4

Therefore the red gifts are 3*4 = 12

The green gifts are 5*4            = 20

Total                                              32  Just as it should

There are three parts. Complete answers for the three parts are below.

1) System of linear equations:

y = x + 2y = x²

2) Algebraic solution:

x = - 1, y = 1, andx = 2, y = 4

3) Graph attaches showing intersection points (-1,1) and (2,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Start: Create a system of equations that includes one linear equation and one quadratic equation.

i) Linear equation:

A linear equation is a first degree equation, i.e. it has the variables raised to the power 1.

The linear equations can be written in the form y = ax+b, where a and b are real numbers and y and x are the variables.

So, take this for our example: y = x + 2

ii) Quadratic equation

A quadratic equation is a second degree equation; the general form of a quadratic equation is y = ax² + bx + c, where a, b and c are real numbers, and x and y are the variables. In this, a cannot be zero.

Hence, take this for our example: y = x²

iii) System:

Equation 1:  y = x + 2Equation 2: y = x²

Part 1. Show all work to solving your system of equations algebraically.

1. Since, both equations in our system are equal to y, you start doing them both equal:

y = x + 2 and  y = x² ⇒ x² = x + 2

2. Apply equation properties to solve for x:

Subtraction property ⇒ x² - x - 2 = 0Factor ⇒ (x - 2) (x + 1) = 0Multiplication property of zero ⇒ (x - 2) = 0 or (x + 1) = 0Solve both factors:

        x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

        x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

Now substitute the two x-values in one of the original eauations to obtain the respective y-values. I will use equation 1:x = 2 ⇒ y = 2 + 2 = 4 ⇒ point (2, 4)x = - 1 ⇒ y = -1 + 2 = 1 ⇒ point (-1, 1)

Conclusion: the algebraic solutions are:

x = 2, y = 4 andx = -1 , y = 1

Part 2. Graph your system of equations, and show the solution graphically to verify your solution.

i) Both equations have to be graphed in one same coordinate system, and the solution will be the intersection points of the both graphs.

ii) To graph the linear equation you just need two points. The x and y - intercepts are usually excellent for this. This table show them:

       x      y = x + 2

      -2      - 2 + 2 = 0    ⇒point (-2, 0)

       0       y = 0 + 2 = 2 ⇒ point (0, 2)

iii) Graphing the quadratic equation normally requires more information. These are some guidelines you can use:

Vertex: The general vertex form for a quadratic equation is

        y = A (x - h)² + k, where A is the leading coefficient, h is the      

        x-coordinate of the vertex and k is the y-coordinate of the vertex.

       Our equation, y = x² is equal to y = 1 (x - 0)² + 0, so you get:

        A = 1, h = 0, k = 0 ⇒ the vertex is the point (0,0).

Concavity: since A = 1, A > 0, and the parabola opens upwardSymmetry axis: the line x = h is the symmetry axis. In this case this is x = 0 (the y-axis).You normally need several points to make a decent graph for a quadratic equation. So, build a table. Here is a table you can use for our quadratic equation y = x²:

         x       y = x²

        -5      (-5)² = 25

        -4      (-4)² = 16

        -3      (-3)² = 9

        -2      (-2)² = 4

        -1       (-1)² = 1

         0       0

         1         1

         2        4

         3        9

         4       16

         5       25

Use those points to make the graph and see where the two graphs intersect.

       

Such solution is attached. You can see that the two graphs intersect at (2,4) and (-1,1).
