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

kvasek [131]3 years ago

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!

Point 4,6 is reflected across line y= X and then dilated by a factor of 1/2 using the origin as the center of dilation. What is
soldier1979 [14.2K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (3, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection across y=x swaps the coordinates:

  (x, y) ⇒ (y, x)

Dilation by a factor of 1/2 multiplies each coordinate by 1/2.

  (x, y) ⇒ (x/2, y/2)

The combination of these transformations gives you ...

  (x, y) ⇒ (y/2, x/2)

  (4, 6) ⇒ (3, 2)

There's not enough information to figure out the grasshoppers, but there should be 15 lady bugs, because 5+10=15

How much work is done in lifting a 1.4-kg book off the floor to put it on a desk that is 0.7 m high?
nalin [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Work is said to be done when a force applied to an object cause the body to move in a specified direction.

Work-done = Force * Distance

Since Force = mass * acceleration due to gravity

Work-done =  mass * acceleration due to gravity * distance

Given mass = 1.4kg, distance = 0.7m and g = 9.8m/s²

Workdone in lifting the book off the floor = 1.4*0.7*9.8

Workdone = 9.604Joules

- Similarly, work done in lifting a 21-lb weight book 6 ft off the ground is expressed using the same formula as above;

Given mass = 21-lb, g = 32ft/s² and distance = 6ft

Workdone = 21 * 32 * 6

Workdone = 4,032 lb-ft²/s²

Hence, work-done in lifting a 21-lb weight book 6 ft off the ground is  4,032 lb-ft²/s²

I cant seem to figure out this question? someone please help me please
Brilliant_brown [7]

h is measured in miles so you need to convert 1135ft to miles

1 mile = 5280 feet

 so 1135/5280 = 0.21496 miles

D = sqrt(2(3960)(0.21496) + 0.21496^2)

D = sqrt(1702.4832 + 0.046207801)

D = sqrt(1702.529408

D = 41.2617 miles round answer as needed
