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

Mathematics

Hi there!

The way that an infinite number of solutions is achieved is when the two equations, when solved together, get an answer which is just a number equal to the same number. To do this, first substitute 6x-b in for y in the second equation.

-3x+\frac{1}{2}(6x-b)=-3

-3x+3x-\frac{1}{2}b=-3

-\frac{1}{2}b=-3

Now, we see that b needs to be equal to -3 when multiplied by -1/2. When both sides are divided by -1/2, b becomes equal to 6. Thus, b must be 6.

Check work:

6x-6=y

-3x+\frac{1}{2}(6x-6)=-3

-3x+3x-3=-3

-3=-3

Thus, as they are equal to each other, the answer is correct. b = 6.

Hope this helps!

Which table represents an arithmetic sequence?
andriy [413]

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of integers with its adjacent terms differing with one common difference. The table that represents an arithmetic sequence is the third table.

<h3>What is arithmetic sequence?</h3>

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of integers with its adjacent terms differing with one common difference.

The explicit formula for any arithmetic series is given by the formula,

aₓ = a₁ + (x-1)d

where d is the difference and a₁ is the first term of the sequence.

For the table to be in an arithmetic sequence, the difference between any two consecutive terms must be equal.

  • For the first table, the difference between the first two terms is -6, while for the next two terms it is -12. Thus, it is not an arithmetic sequence.
  • In the second table, the difference between the first two terms is 2 while the difference between the next two terms is 4. Thus, it is not an arithmetic sequence.
  • In the third table, the difference between the first two terms is 1.4, the difference between the next two terms is 1.4. Also, it last two terms the difference is 1.4. Thus, it is an arithmetic sequence.

Hence, the table that represents an arithmetic sequence is the third table.
