Find p and q for which the linear eqn has infinite solutions

Mathematics
1 answer:
jekas [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

p= 2.5

q= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines should overlap to have infinite solutions, slopes should be same and y-intercepts should be same.

Equations in slope- intercept form:

6x-(2p-3)y-2q-3=0 ⇒ (2p-3)y= 6x -2q-3 ⇒ y= 6/(2p-3)x -(2q+3)/(2p-3)

12x-( 2p-1)y-5q+1=0 ⇒ (2p-1)y= 12x - 5q+1 ⇒  y=12/(2p-1)x - (5q-1)/(2p-1)

Slopes equal:

6/(2p-3)= 12/(2p-1)

6(2p-1)= 12(2p-3)

12p- 6= 24p - 36

12p= 30

p= 30/12

p= 2.5

y-intercepts equal:

(2q+3)/(2p-3)= (5q-1)/(2p-1)

(2q+3)/(2*2.5-3)= (5q-1)/(2*2.5-1)

(2q+3)/2= (5q-1)/4

4(2q+3)= 2(5q-1)

8q+12= 10q- 2

2q= 14

q= 7

Use the graph. Which equation is true from the information in the graph?
Nikolay [14]
From the graph, we see that two similar triangles are created by using the slope of the line.
• Because the two triangles appear to have congruent angles and proportional side lengths, we can conclude with the information we have that the two triangles are indeed similar. They are the same shape but proportional with congruent angles.
• Therefore, a/b = c/d because the scale factor remains the same of both ratios.
•We can also see that in larger triangle, the slope = 3/6 and the slope of the smaller one = 2/4. 3/6 = 2/4 because 3/6 = 1/2 and 2/4 = 1/2. Therefore, the slopes are proportional and equal.
• Because the slopes are proportional and the triangles are proportional, the a/b = c/d.

. A man bought a car for $60 320. After using it for 2 years he decides to trade in the car. The company estimated a depreciatio
Veronika [31]

Answer:

(a) 39,208

(b) 65%

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The car loses 10% the first year and 15% the second year so that’s 35% lost in total after two years.

35% of 60,320 is 21,112

60,320 - 21,112 = 39,208

39,208 ÷ 60,320 = 0.65 (65%)

Elizabeth lives in San Francisco and works in Mountain View. In the morning, she has 3 transportation options (take a bus, a cab
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

The possibilities of transportation: (The first will be for morning, second will be for afternoon)

B, B

B, C

B, T

C, B

C, C

C, T

T, B

T, C

T, T

It is clearly seen that there are 9 transportation options.

(Using cab 1 time we have BC, CB, CT, TC. So four of the transportation methods use cab one time.)

Therefore, the probability that she will use a cab only once is 4/9.
