What is the solution to the system of equations? 6x – 9y = 16 2x – 3y = 7

1 answer:

8 0

The first step for solving this problem is to multiply both sides of the bottom equation by -3.
$\left \{ {{6x-9y=16} \atop {-6x + 9y = -21}} \right.$
Add the two equations together.
6x - 9y - 6x + 9y = 16 - 21
Eliminate the opposites.
-9y + 9y = 16 - 21
Remember that the sum of two opposites equals 0,, so the equation becomes the following:
0 = 16 - 21
Calculate the difference on the right side of the equation.
0 = -5
This means that the statement $\left \{ {{6x-9y=16} \atop {2x-3y=7}} \right.$ is false for any value of x and y. That means that the answer to your question is (x,y) ∈ ∅,, or no solution.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Sketch the graph of the function f(x) = -(x-4)^3 by indicating how a more basic function has been shifted, reflected, stretched,

irina [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

In the attached images we can see the rigid transformation of the function $f(x) =x^{3}$

1. The basic graph $f(x) =x^{3}$

2. The reflected graph $f(x) = -x^{3}$

3. The displaced graph $f(x) = -(x-4)^{3}$

Reflection: In the expression $f(x) = -(x-4)^{3}$ , the sign - before the parenthesis indicates that the function is reflected in the x axis, for this case the function is even, this means that -f(x) = f(-x) , then the reflection on the x axis is equal to the reflection on the y axis.

Displacement: We observe the term (x-4) of the function $f(x) = -(x-4)^{3}$ and analyze the value -4, where, the sign - indicates displacement to the right and the value 4 indicates the amount that the graph shifted .

Which of the following scales of measurement lacks numeric properties?

Rus_ich [418]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

The nominal scale by definition only deals with non-numeric or non-quantitative variables or where numbers have no numerical value. The nominal scale uses tags or labels instead of number to classify or identify an object being measured.
