Answer:

A) (-17+5k,17-4k)

B)  (-4+3k,4-2k)

C) No integer pairs.

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, I'm going to use Euclidean's Algorithm.

4x+5y=17

5=4(1)+1

4=1(4)

So going backwards through those equations:

5-4(1)=1

-4(1)+5(1)=1

Multiply both sides by 17:

4(-17)+5(17)=17

So one integer pair satisfying 4x+5y=17 is (-17,17).

What is the slope for this equation?

Let's put it in slope-intercept form:

4x+5y=17

Subtract 4x on both sides:

     5y=-4x+17

Divide both sides by 5:

      y=(-4/5)x+(17/5)

The slope is down 4 and right 5.

So let's show more solutions other than (-17,17) by using the slope.

All integer pairs satisfying this equation is (-17+5k,17-4k).

Let's check:

4(-17+5k)+5(17-4k)

-68+20k+85-20k

-68+85

17

That was exactly what we wanted since we were looking for integer pairs that satisfy 4x+5y=17.

Onward to the next problem.

6x+9y=12

9=6(1)+3

6=3(2)

Now backwards through the equations:

9-6(1)=3

9(1)-6(1)=3

Multiply both sides by 4:

9(4)-6(4)=12

-6(4)+9(4)=12

6(-4)+9(4)=12

So one integer pair satisfying 6x+9y=12 is (-4,4).

Let's find the slope of 6x+9y=12.

6x+9y=12

Subtract 6x on both sides:

      9y=-6x+12

Divide both sides by 9:

       y=(-6/9)x+(12/9)

Reduce:

       y=(-2/3)x+(4/3)

The slope is down 2 right 3.

So all the integer pairs are (-4+3k,4-2k).

Let's check:

6(-4+3k)+9(4-2k)

-24+18k+36-18k

-24+36

12

That checks out since we wanted integer pairs that made 6x+9y=12.

Onward to the last problem.

4x+10y=9

10=4(2)+2

4=2(2)

So the gcd(4,10)=2 which means this one doesn't have any solutions because there is no integer k such that 2k=9.

If tap and bre are supplementary and bre is its own complement, find the measure of tap. explain how you arrived at your answer
Pie
Supplementary angles are those whose sum is equal to 180° while those that are complementary are those whose sum is equal to 90°. Since, we are given that bre is the complement of itself, its measure can be calculated through the equation,
                           m∠bre + m∠bre = 90°
                                   m∠bre = 45°

Then, for the relationship of bre and tap, we have the equation,
                       m∠bre + m∠tap = 180°
                        45° + m∠tap = 180°
                                m∠tap = 135°

The measure of tap is equal to 135°.

Which statement implies that A and B are independent events?
STatiana [176]

Answer:

P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent events:

If two events, A and B are independent, the probability of both A and B happening is the same as the probability of A happening multiplied by the probability of B happenings, that is:

P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)

In this question:

The statement is P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)
