Which values of m and b will create a system of equations with no solution? Select two options.
1 answer:
Using linear function concepts, a system of equations with no solutions is created when:
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
The intersection of two lines is the solution of a system of equations. If two lines have the <u>same slope and different intercepts</u>, they will never intercept, that is, the system will not have a solution.
The lines are given as follows:
- y = mx + b.
- y = -2x + 3/2.
Hence, for a system with no solution, we need that:

Answer:
3.189 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
You want f(t) = 0, so ...
0 = -16t^2 +13.4t +120
0 = t^2 -0.8375t -7.5 . . . . divide by -16
0 = (t^2 -0.8375t +0.41875^2) -7.5 -0.41875^2 . . . . complete the square*
0 = (t -0.41875)^2 -7.6753515625 . . . . write as a square
√7.6753515625 = t -0.41875 . . . . . . . . add 7.67... and take positive root
t = 0.41875 +√7.6753515625 ≈ 3.189192 . . . . add 0.41875
It will take the rock about 3.189 seconds to hit the ground.
_____
* We complete the square by adding the square of half the coefficient of the linear term (= (-0.8375/2)^2) inside parentheses and subtracting the same amount outside parentheses. This gives a form inside parentheses that is ...
(t^2 -2at +a^2) = (t -a)^2
Completing the square is complicated a little bit by a leading coefficient that is not 1. That is why we divided by -16 first.

<em>Comment on the question</em>
We note that the rock "falls" from the 120 foot high balcony by first traveling upward at a rate of 13.4 feet per second. We also note that the height function is written f(x), but uses t as the variable. That is, it should be f(t) = ...
