Answer:

  B. is dependent

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominator determinant will be zero when the coefficients of the variables are dependent. One of the numerator coefficients will be zero when the coefficients involved are dependent. Hence using Cramer's Rule will result in the ratio 0/0 when the system is dependent.

___

The ratio will be 1/0 if the system is inconsistent (has no solution).

Answer:

  x = 22.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle BED ≅ angle EBC = 6x, so angle BEA = 4x. The angles FEB and BEA form a linear pair, so we have ...

  4x +4x = 180°

  x = 22.5° . . . . . . divide by 8

_____

BED and EBC are "alternate interior angles" with respect to transversal BE crossing parallel lines DE and AC.

Put the steps in correct order to prove that if x is irrational, then 1/x is irrational using contraposition.
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The correct order is:

a

c

d

b

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's write 1/x in a convenient way for us:

a) Substitute 1/x = p/q, to obtain x = 1/(1/x) = 1/(p/q) = q/p.

Now we assume that 1/x is rational (we want to prove that this implies that x will be also rational and because we know that x is irrational assuming that 1/x is rational will lead to an incongruence), then:

c. If 1/x is rational, then 1/x = p/q for some integers p and q with q ≠ 0. Observe that p is not 0 either, because 1/x is not 0.

Now we know that we can write x as a quotient of two integers, we need to imply that, then the next one is:

d) Observe that x is the quotient of two integers with the denominator nonzero.

And that is the definition of rational, then we end with:

b) Hence x is rational.

Which is what we wanted to get.
