Ax +by = 16

Mathematics
1 answer:
Talja [164]2 years ago
3 0

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

Felicity's dog eats two cups of dog food per day. Felicity's dog eats at least one-quarter cup more than one-half of the amount
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

2 > \frac{1}{2} m + \frac{1}{4}  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Felicity's dog eats two cups of dog food per day :2

If the amount of food that Martin's dog eats is represented by using m

Felicity's dog eats at least one-quarter cup more than one-half of the amount Martin's dog eats: \frac{1}{2} m + \frac{1}{4}

So we have the inequality represents the situation is:

2 > \frac{1}{2} m + \frac{1}{4}

At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Snape was concerned about grade inflation, and suggested that the schoo
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answers:

The z scores are approximately:

  • Care of Magical Creatures:  z = 0.333
  • Defense Against the Dark Arts:  z = 0.583
  • Transfiguration:  z = -0.263
  • Potions: z = -0.533

From those scores, we can say:

  • Best grade = Defense Against the Dark Arts
  • Worst grade = Potions

=====================================================

Further Explanation:

We'll need to convert each given score to a corresponding standardized z score.

The formula to use is

z = (x - mu)/sigma

where,

  • x = given grade for each class
  • mu = mean
  • sigma = standard deviation

Let's find the z score for the Care of Magical Creatures class

z = (x - mu)/sigma

z = (3.80 - 3.75)/(0.15)

z = 0.333 approximately

Repeat this process for the Defense Against the Dark Arts score.

z = (x - mu)/sigma

z = (3.60 - 3.25)/(0.60)

z = 0.583 approximately

And for the Transfiguration class as well

z = (x - mu)/sigma

z = (3.10 - 3.20)/(0.38)

z = -0.263 approximately

The negative z score means his grade below the average, whereas earlier the other scores were above the average since he got positive z scores.

Now do the final class (Potions) to get this z score

z = (x - mu)/sigma

z = (2.50 - 2.90)/(0.75)

z = -0.533 approximately

This grade is below average as well.

----------------------------

To summarize, we have these z scores

  • Care of Magical Creatures:  z = 0.333
  • Defense Against the Dark Arts:  z = 0.583
  • Transfiguration:  z = -0.263
  • Potions: z = -0.533

Harry did his best in Defense Against the Dark Arts because the z score of 0.583 (approximate) is the largest of the four z scores. On the other hand, his worst grade is in Potions because -0.533 is the lowest z score.

The Rawesome Cafeteria manufactures round metal tabletops for restaurants. The machinist uses ¼ sheet of metal for each tabletop
Serjik [45]
Prime cost is the combination of a manufactured product's costs of direct materials and direct labor. In other words, prime cost refers to the direct production costs.
Prime cost=direct material cost+direct labor cost

Direct material cost of a tabletop is
380×(1÷4)=95 for each tabletop

Direct labor cost
The question says The machinist cuts and polishes five tabletops each hour
Which means 27.50 of direct labor to cut and polish 5 tabletops So direct labor cost for each tabletop is
27.50÷5=5.5

Finally the prime cost of cutting and polishing a tabletop is
Prime cost=95+5.5=100.5

Complete the statement.<br><br><br><br><br>Since angle B is the largest angle, is the side.
postnew [5]

Answer:

<em>∠B is the largest interior angle of the triangle, and AC is the</em><em> largest</em><em> side.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Relationship of sides to interior angles in a triangle-

  1. The shortest side of a triangle is always opposite to the smallest interior angle.
  2. The longest side of a triangle is always opposite to the largest interior angle.

So converse of the second property is the side opposite to the largest interior angle is always the largest side.

As ∠B is the largest interior angle of the triangle, so its opposite side which is AC will be the largest side.
