Answer:

Choice d.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consistent means the linear functions will have at least one solution.

Independent means the it will just that one solution.

Dependent means the system will have infinitely many solutions.

So we are looking for a pair of equations that consist of the same line.

y=mx+b is slope-intercept form where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

If m and b are the same amongst the pair, then that pair is the same line and the system is consistent and dependent.

If m is the same and b is different amongst the pair, then they are parallel and the system will be inconsistent (have no solution).

If m is different, then the pair will have one solution and will be consistent and independent.

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

Choice A:

First line has m=1 and b=4.

Second line has m=1 and b=-4.

These lines are parallel.

This system is inconsistent.

Choice B:

First line is x+y=4 and it isn't in y=mx+b form.

Second line is 2x+2y=6 and it isn't in y=mx+b form.

These lines do have the same form though. This is actually standard form.

If you divide second equation by 2 on both sides you get: x+y=3

The lines are not the same.

We are looking for the same line.

Now we could go ahead and determine to call this system.

If x+y has value 4 then how could x+y have value 3. It is not possible. There is no solution. These lines are parallel.

Need more convincing. Let's put them into slope-intercept form.

x+y=4

Subtract x on both sides:

y=-x+4

m=-1 and b=4

x+y=3

Subtract x on both sides:

y=-x+3

m=-1 and b=3.

The system is inconsistent because they are parallel.

Choice c:

I'm going to go ahead in put them both in slope-intercept form:

3x+y=3

Subtract 3x on both sides:

y=-3x+3

So m=-3 and b=3

2y=6x+6

Divide both sides by 2:

y=3x+3

So m=3 and b=3

The m's are different so this system will by consistent and independent.

Choice d:

The goal is the same. Put them in slope-intercept form.

4x-2y=6

Divide both sides by -2:

-2x+y=-3

Add 2x on both sides:

y=2x-3

m=2 and b=-3

6x-3y=9

Divide both sides by -3:

-2x+y=-3

Add 2x on btoh sides:

y=2x-3

m=2 and b=-3

These are the same line because they have the same m and the same b.

This system is consistent and dependent.

Define standard of living and summarize in your own words the relationship between standard of living, cost of living, and stage

svetlana [45]

Standard of living refers to the level of wealth, comfort, material goods and necessities available to a certain socioeconomic class or geographic area. Cost of living is the amount of money needed to cover basic expenses such as housing, food, taxes, and healthcare in a certain place and time period. Stage of life refers to the different phases of life that all individuals pass through in a normal lifetime.

Which set of values could be the side lengths of a 30-60-90 triangle?

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you are in geometry I learned this a little back...

It's hard to explain but basically one side is just (n) another is (n(square root sign))and another is (2n.)

So the answer Is a because in this case (n) is 4

At the grocery store, an 8-inch cherry pie costs $4.39 and a similar 10-inch cherry pie cost $6.15. which is the better deal?

ValentinkaMS [17]

For the 8 inch pie you are paying about 55 cents per inch
for the 10 inch pie you are paying about 61 cents per inch
so the 8 inch pie is a better deal

hope this helped
oh and to get those numbers divide 4.39 by 8 and 6.15 by 10

The purpose of statistical inference is to make estimates or draw conclusions about a.

Free_Kalibri [48]

When we make estimates of or draw conclusions about one or more characteristics of a population based upon the sample, we are using the process of statistical inference.

To estimate this sample to sample variance or uncertainty is the goal of statistical inference.

What is the purpose of statistical inferences ?

To be able to make inferences about a population based on data from a sample is the goal of statistical inference.
The process of statistical inference involves selecting a sample, gathering data from that sample, calculating a statistic from the data, and drawing conclusions about the population from that statistic.

How is statistical inference used to draw conclusions?

Estimation and hypothesis testing are components of statistical inference (evaluating a notion about a population using a sample) (estimating the value or potential range of values of some characteristic of the population based on that of a sample).
