Answer:
a dry-erase maker
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is actually choice A
---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
If we add up the equations straight down we will have 0a+2b = 6
Note how adding the 'a' terms gives us 3a + (-3a) = 3a-3a = 0a. The 0a term is really 0 since 0 times anything is 0. So the 'a' terms will go away
The equation 0a+2b = 6 turns into 0+2b = 6 and that simplifies to 2b = 6
To isolate b, we divide both sides by 2
2b = 6
2b/2 = 6/2
b = 3
We can stop here since only one answer choice has b = 3, which is choice A. However, let's keep going to find the value of 'a'
Plug b = 3 into any equation with 'a' and 'b', then solve for 'a'
3a+4b = 9
3a+4*3 = 9
3a+12 = 9
3a+12-12 = 9-12
3a = -3
3a/3 = -3/3
a = -1
So a = -1 and b = 3 pair up to form (a,b) = (-1,3)
--------------------------------------
To check, plug this ordered pair back into both equations
Equation 1:
3a+4b = 9
3*(-1)+4*3 = 9
-3+12 = 9
9 = 9
Equation 1 has been checked out
Equation 2:
-3a-2b = -3
-3(-1)-2(3) = -3
3 - 6 = -3
-3 = -3
this is true as well
So this confirms that the final answer is choice A
Answer:
y - 1.4x = - 6.8
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the equation: find the slope, use point-slope form to calculate the equation, then convert the equation to standard form.
Slope: 
Use point slope form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
Plug in x = 27, y = 31, and m = 1.4
y - 31 = 1.4(x - 27)
y - 31 = 1.4x - 37.8
y = 1.4x - 6.8
Convert this into standard form: ax + by = c
y - 1.4x = - 6.8
If tangent to the curve y = √x is parallel to the line y = 8x, then this implies that the tangent to y = <span>√x has the same slope as the line y = 8x. In other words, the derivative (slope) function of y = √x is equal to the slope of the line y = 8x, which is m = 8. Hence y' = 8 once we find y'
y = </span><span>√x = x^(1/2)
Applying the power rule and simplifying, we find that the derivative is
y' = 1/(2</span>√x)
Now remember that y' must equal 8
1/(2<span>√x) = 8
Multiplying both sides by 2</span><span>√x, we obtain
1 = 16</span><span>√x
Dividing both sides by 16, yields
</span><span>√x = 1/16
But wait a minute, √x = y. Thus 1/16 must be the y-coordinate of the point at which the tangent to y = √x is drawn.
Squaring both sides, yields
x = 1/256
This is the x-coordinate of the point on the curve where the tangent is drawn.
</span><span>∴ the required point must be (1/256, 1/16)
GOOD LUCK!!!</span>
