<h3>
Answer: Choice C) </h3><h3>
The system can only be independent and consistent</h3>
===========================================================
Explanation:
Let's go through the answer choices
- A) This isn't possible. Either a system is consistent or inconsistent. It cannot be both at the same time. The term "inconsistent" literally means "not consistent". It's like saying a cup is empty and full at the same time. We can rule out choice A.
- B) This is similar to choice A and we cannot have a system be both independent and dependent. Either a system is independent or dependent, but not both. Independence means that the two equations are not tied together, while dependent equations are some multiple of each other. We can rule out choice B.
- C) We'll get back to this later
- D) The independence/dependence status is unknown without the actual equations present. However, we know 100% that this system is not inconsistent. This is because the system has at least one solution. Inconsistent systems do not have any solutions at all (eg: parallel lines that never cross). We can rule out choice D because of this.
Going back to choice C, again we don't have enough info to determine if the system is independent or dependent, but we at least know it's consistent. Consistent systems have one or more solutions. So part of choice C can be confirmed. It being the only thing left means that it has to be the final answer.
If it were me as the teacher, I'd cross out the "independent" part of choice C and simply say the system is consistent.

Answer:
B) f(x) = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The value in the f(x) column is always 3, so the only reasonable choice is ...
f(x) = 3
Answer=60
Since the base of the prism is a right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem to solve for x.
a²+b²=c²
plug in the data
a²+24²=30²
a²+576=900
subtract 576 from both sides
a²=324
sq root
a=18
So x=18
The formula for the volume of a triangular prism is...
V=(area of the base)*(height)
V=1/2bh*H where b=base of triangle h=height of triangle, H=height of prism
plug in the data that we know
720=1/2*18*24*H
720=216*H
divide both sides by 216
3 1/3=H
So x=18 and y=3 1/3 or 3.33 repeating
The product of the two
18*3 1/3=60
Answer=60
