1. What is the solution of the system?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The given system of equations has solutions below:

1) The solution is (2,3)

2) The solution is ( $\frac{-8}{7}, \frac{5}{7}$ )

3) The solution is infinitely many solutions

4) No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equation are

$-x+2y=4\hfill (1)$

$-4x+y=-5\hfill (2)$

To solve equation by using elimination method

Multiply eqn (2) into 2

$-8x+2y=-10\hfill (3)$

Now subtracting (1) and (3)

$-x+2y=4$

$-8x+2y=-10$

_________________

7x=14

x= $\frac{14}{7}$

$x=2$

Substitute x=2 in equation (1)

-2+2y=4

2y=4+2

$y=\frac{6}{2}$

y=3

Therefore the solution is (2,3)

2) Given equation is

$-2x+y=3\hfill (1)$

4y-4=x

Rewritting as below

$x-4y=-4\hfill (2)$

To solve equation by using elimination method

multiply (2) into 2

$2x-8y=-8\hfill (3)$

Adding (1) and (3)

-2x+y=3

2x-8y=-8

________

-7y=-5

$y=\frac{5}{7}$

substitute $y=\frac{5}{7}$ in (1)

$-2x+\frac{5}{7}=3$

$-2x=3-\frac{5}{7}$

$-2x=\frac{21-5}{7}$

$x=-\frac{8}{7}$

Therefore the solution is ( $\frac{-8}{7},\frac{5}{7}$ )

3) Given equation is $6x+2y=10\hfill (1)$

$3x+y=5\hfill (2)$

equation (1) can be written as

2(3x+y)=10

$3x+y=\frac{10}{2}$

3x+y=5

Therefore equations (1) and (2) are same therefore it has infinitely many solutions

4) Given equation is $-x-2y=14\hfill (1)$

$-2x-4y=12\hfill (2)$

multiply equation (1) into 2

$-2x-4y=28\hfill (3)$

To solve equation by using elimination method

subtracting (2) and (3)

-2x-4y=28

-2x-4y=12

_______

$28\neq -12$

therefore it has no solution

Two percent of half a number is 5. What is the number ?

Anika [276]

Answer:

500

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1% is 2.5 then 100% is 250. Since 250 is half of a number, you went then multiply by 2 to double that number which is 500.

Prove by mathematical induction that 1+2+3+...+n= n(n+1)/2 please can someone help me with this ASAP. Thanks

Iteru [2.4K]

Let

$P(n):\ 1+2+\ldots+n = \dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}$

In order to prove this by induction, we first need to prove the base case, i.e. prove that P(1) is true:

$P(1):\ 1 = \dfrac{1\cdot 2}{2}=1$

So, the base case is ok. Now, we need to assume $P(n)$ and prove $P(n+1)$ .

$P(n+1)$ states that

$P(n+1):\ 1+2+\ldots+n+(n+1) = \dfrac{(n+1)(n+2)}{2}=\dfrac{n^2+3n+2}{2}$

Since we're assuming $P(n)$ , we can substitute the sum of the first n terms with their expression:

$\underbrace{1+2+\ldots+n}_{P(n)}+n+1 = \dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}+n+1=\dfrac{n(n+1)+2n+2}{2}=\dfrac{n^2+3n+2}{2}$

Which terminates the proof, since we showed that

$P(n+1):\ 1+2+\ldots+n+(n+1) =\dfrac{n^2+3n+2}{2}$

as required
