Both claims are false. In fact, and
are one the multiplicative inverse of the other. This means, by definition of multiplicative inverse, that
So, it doesn't matter if is positive or negative: the multiplication of one number and its inverse will always be 1: for example,
Similarly, when you multiply two number, the sign of the product depends on the sign of the factors as follows:
So, the multiplication of two negative numbers is a positive number.
Answer:
a)g: 3x + 4y = 10 b) a:x+y = 5 c) c: 3x + 4y = 10
h: 6x + 8y = 5 b:2x + 3y = 8 d: 6x + 8y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Has no solution
g: 3x + 4y = 10
h: 6x + 8y = 5
Above Equations gives you parallel lines refer attachment
b) has exactly one solution
a:x+y = 5
b:2x + 3y = 8
Above Equations gives you intersecting lines refer attachment
c) has infinitely many solutions
c: 3x + 4y = 10
d: 6x + 8y = 5
Above Equations gives you collinear lines refer attachment
i) if we add x + 2y = 1 to equation x + y = 5 to make an inconsistent system.
ii) if we add x + 2y = 3 to equation x + y = 5 to create infinitely system.
iii) if we add x + 4y = 1 to equation x + y = 5 to create infinitely system.
iv) if we add to x + y =5 equation x + y = 5 to change the unique solution you had to a different unique solution
