Ax +by = 16

Mathematics
1 answer:
Talja [164]1 year ago

Answer:

  • The system has infinitely many solutions when a = 3/4 and b = 1/2

<h3>Given </h3>

System of linear equations

  • ax +by = 16
  • 3x+2y=64

<h3>To find </h3>

  • Values of a and b that leads to infinitely many solutions

<h3>Solution</h3>

The linear system of equations has infinitely many solutions when lines overlap, so both have same slope and y-intercept.

We can solve it in two different ways

1. Note that when the first equation is multiplied by 4, it has same value of constant as the second equation, which is 64.

  • 4ax + 4by = 64
  • 3x + 2y = 64

When compared it gives us:

  • 4a = 3 ⇒ a = 3/4
  • 4b = 2 ⇒ b = 2/4 = 1/2

2. Convert both equations from standard to slope-intercept form and compare:

  • ax + by = 16
  • by = -ax + 16
  • y = - (a/b)x + 16/b

  • 3x + 2y = 64
  • 2y = - 3x + 64
  • y = - (3/2)x + 32

Work out values of a and b:

  • 16/b = 32 ⇒ b = 16/32 ⇒ b = 1/2
  • - (a/b) = - 3/2 ⇒ a/b = 3/2 ⇒ a = 3b/2 ⇒ a = 3(1/2)/2 ⇒ a = 3/4

The promising alternative energy sources currently under development are fuel cell technology and large-scale solar energy power
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Denote the event of commercially availability of f_uel cell technology as F_, commercial availability of solar power technology as S

Write the probability of energy supplied by these energy sources in the next 10 years  

P(energy supplied) = P(S ∪ F) -----(1)

Rewrite eqn (1)

P(energy supplied) = P(S) + P(F) - P(F) P(S) ----(2)

substitute 0.85 for P(S) and 0,7 for P(F) in eqn (2) to find the probability of energy supplied by these energy sources

P(energy supplied) = 0.85 + 0.7 - (0.7 * 0.85)

= 0.85 + 0.7 - (0.595)

= 1.55 - 0.595

= 0.955

Therefore, the probability that there will be energy supplied by these two alternative sources in the next 10 years is 0.955

B) write the probability of only one source of energy available

P(only one source of energy available) = P(\bar F S) ∪ P( \bar S F) ---(3)

Rewrite the equation (3)

P(only one source of energy available) =

=P(\bar F S)+P(\bar S F)\\\\=\{[1-P(F)]P(S)+[1-P(S)]P(F)\}---(4)

=\{[1-0.7]0.85+[1-0.85]0.7\}\\\\=0.255+0.105\\\\=0.36

Therefore,The probability that only one of the two alternative energy sources will be commercially viable in the next 10 years is 0.36

You meet with the financial aid office to discuss your costs for attending MGA next semester. Tuition is $113.67 per credit hour
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

$1615.05

Step-by-step explanation:

First the cost. We know that tuition per credit hour is 113.67 and there is a flat fee of 660. This can be represented by 113.67h + 660, where h is equal to the number of credit hours.

Next, the amount paid. There are two constants of 350 and 400 already there. We can represent the remaining amount that needs to be paid by another variable, x.

Now, the cost needs to be equal to the amount you pay. We can replace h with 15 for 15 hours and solve for x.

113.67h + 660 = 350 + 400 + x

113.67(15) + 660 = 350 + 400 + x

1705.05 + 660 = 750 + x

2365.05 = 750 + x

1615.05 = x

a yard width is 2 less than it's length. If the perimeter of the yard is 20 feet determine the length and the width of the yard
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The length is 6 feet and the width is 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the yard

The width can be represented by x - 2, since it is 2 less than the length.

Use the perimeter formula, P = 2l + 2w, where l is the length and w is width

Plug in the expressions and perimeter:

20 = 2x + 2(x - 2)

Solve for x:

20 = 2x + 2x - 4

20 = 4x - 4

24 = 4x

6 = x

So, the length is 6. Plug this into x - 2 to find the width

x - 2

6 - 2

= 4

So, the length is 6 feet and the width is 4 feet
