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

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!

Find dy/dx for (y^2/x) = 18 by implicit differentiation
Natasha2012 [34]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  dy/dx = y/(2x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The product formula can be used, along with the power rule.

  d(uv) = du·v +u·dv

__

  d(y^2/x) = d(18)

  2y·dy/x -y^2/x^2·dx = 0

  2x·dy -y·dx = 0 . . . . . . . . multiply by x^2/y

  dy/dx = y/(2x) . . . . . . . . add y·dx, divide by 2x·dx
