Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

number - n

Twice a number - 2n

Seven times the number - 7n

2n = 7n +35

7n-2n = -35

5n = -35

n = - 7

Check:

2(-7) = 7(-7) +35

-14 = -49 + 35

-14 = -14 True

The number is (- 7).

Answer:

a) Infinite solutions

b) No solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

First, know the following:

If the graphs intersect, there's only one solution.

If the graphs are parallel, there are no solutions.

If the graphs are the exact same line, there are infinite solutions.

For a):

Change the first equation into a linear one.

2x+3y=6

3y=-2x+6

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

Change the second equation into a linear one.

4x+6y=12
6y=-4x+12
$y=-\frac{2}{3} x+2$

Boom. You have two equations which are equal. As stated above, graphs on the exact same line have infinite solutions.

For b)

They are already in linear form so hurray.

$y=\frac{1}{5} x+2\\y=\frac{1}{5} x+10\\$

These lines are parallel since they have the SAME slope but a different y-intercept. As stated above, parallel lines have no solutions.

How do you verify this trigonometric identity? cos^2 θcot^2 θ = cot^2 θ - cos^2 θ

sattari [20]

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Replace cos^2(θ) with 1-sin^2(θ), and cot(θ) with cos(θ)/sin(θ).

cos^2(θ)cot^2(θ) = cot^2(θ) - cos^2(θ)

(1 -sin^2(θ))cot^2(θ) = . . . . . replace cos^2 with 1-sin^2

cot^2(θ) -sin^2(θ)·cos^2(θ)/sin^2(θ) = . . . . . replace cot with cos/sin

cot^2(θ) -cos^2(θ) = cot^2(θ) -cos^2(θ) . . . as desired
