Find all solutions of the given system of equations (If the system is infinite many solution, express your answer in terms of x)

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

(a) The system of the equations $\left \{ {2x-3y\:=3} \atop {4x-6y\:=3}} \right.$ has no solution.

(b) The system of the equations $\left \{ {4x-6y\:=10} \atop {16x-24y\:=40}} \right.$ has many solutions $y=\frac{2x}{3}-\frac{5}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) To find the solutions of the following system of equations $\left \{ {2x-3y\:=3} \atop {4x-6y\:=3}} \right.$ you must:

Multiply $2x-3y=3$ by 2:

$\begin{bmatrix}4x-6y=6\\ 4x-6y=3\end{bmatrix}$

Subtract the equations

$4x-6y=3\\-\\4x-6y=6\\------\\0=-3$

0 = -3 is false, therefore the system of the equations has no solution.

(b) To find the solutions of the system $\left \{ {4x-6y\:=10} \atop {16x-24y\:=40}} \right.$ you must:

Isolate x for $4x-6y=10$

$x=\frac{5+3y}{2}$

Substitute $x=\frac{5+3y}{2}$ into the second equation

$16\cdot \frac{5+3y}{2}-24y=40\\8\left(3y+5\right)-24y=40\\24y+40-24y=40\\40=40$

The system has many solutions.

Isolate y for $4x-6y=10$

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

Write an equation for the line perpendicular to the line y= -2/3+7 which passes through the point (-5,6)

zysi [14]

Y = -2/3x + 7.....the slope here is -2/3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All tht means is take the original slope, flip it, and change the sign. So we take -2/3....flip it making it -3/2.....change the sign making it 3/2. So ur perpendicular line will have a slope of 3/2.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3/2
(-5,6)....x = -5 and y = 6
now sub and find b, the y int
6 = 3/2(-5) + b
6 = -15/2 + b
6 + 15/2 = b
12/2 + 15/2 = b
27/2 = b
so ur perpendicular equation is : y = 3/2x + 27/2 <==
