He saved 5/24 of his money

Make common denominators
1/6 * 4/4 =4/24
5/8 * 3/3= 15/24

15/24 + 4/24 = 19/24

24/24 - 19/24
= 5/24

scarlet is trying to find the height of a dam. she stands 90 meters away from the dam and records the angle of elevation to the

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Make a drawing with a right triangle.

The opposite side, y, is the height of the dam less 1.65 m

The base or adjacent side is 90 m

The angle between the two sides is 90 m.

Then tan (26) = y / 90

y = 90 tan(26) = 90 (0.4877) = 43.90 m

The height of the dam is 43.90m + 1.65m = 45.55 m

What value of b will cause the system to have an infinite number of solutions?

irga5000 [103]

b must be equal to -6 for infinitely many solutions for system of equations $y = 6x + b$ and $-3 x+\frac{1}{2} y=-3$

<u>Solution: </u>

Need to calculate value of b so that given system of equations have an infinite number of solutions

$\begin{array}{l}{y=6 x+b} \\\\ {-3 x+\frac{1}{2} y=-3}\end{array}$

Let us bring the equations in same form for sake of simplicity in comparison

$\begin{array}{l}{y=6 x+b} \\\\ {\Rightarrow-6 x+y-b=0 \Rightarrow (1)} \\\\ {\Rightarrow-3 x+\frac{1}{2} y=-3} \\\\ {\Rightarrow -6 x+y=-6} \\\\ {\Rightarrow -6 x+y+6=0 \Rightarrow(2)}\end{array}$

Now we have two equations

$\begin{array}{l}{-6 x+y-b=0\Rightarrow(1)} \\\\ {-6 x+y+6=0\Rightarrow(2)}\end{array}$

Let us first see what is requirement for system of equations have an infinite number of solutions

If $a_{1} x+b_{1} y+c_{1}=0$ and $a_{2} x+b_{2} y+c_{2}=0$ are two equation

$\Rightarrow \frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$ then the given system of equation has no infinitely many solutions.

In our case,

$\begin{array}{l}{a_{1}=-6, \mathrm{b}_{1}=1 \text { and } c_{1}=-\mathrm{b}} \\\\ {a_{2}=-6, \mathrm{b}_{2}=1 \text { and } c_{2}=6} \\\\ {\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{-6}{-6}=1} \\\\ {\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{1}{1}=1} \\\\ {\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}=\frac{-b}{6}}\end{array}$

As for infinitely many solutions $\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$

$\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow 1=1=\frac{-b}{6}} \\\\ {\Rightarrow6=-b} \\\\ {\Rightarrow b=-6}\end{array}$

Hence b must be equal to -6 for infinitely many solutions for system of equations $y = 6x + b$ and $-3 x+\frac{1}{2} y=-3$

A line passes through the points (–5, 2) and (10, –1). Which is the equation of the line?

beks73 [17]

Slope = (2 + 1) / (-5 - 10) = -3/15 = - 1/5

Equation

y - 2 = -1/5 (x + 5)

y - 2 = -1/5 x - 1

y = -1/5 x + 1

Answer

y = -1/5 x + 1

If two polygons are similar, must they also be congruent?

NISA [10]

Answer:

I think No

Explanation:

We say two figures are similar if they have the same shape, but not necessarily the same size. <u>If they also have the same size</u>, we say they are congruent.
