Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. re-write the given system:

cx+3y=c-3; => y= -cx/3 +(c-3)/3

12x+cy=c; => y= -12x/c+c/12

2. according the condition the rule for the parallel graphs is:

-c/3= -12/c

3. to calculate the unknown 'c':

c²=36; ⇔c=±6

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations:

cx + 3y = c - 3 ... (i)

12x + cy = c ... (ii)

Multiplying (i) by c and (ii) by 3 gives;

c²x + 3cy = c² - 3c ... (i)

36x + 3cy = 3c ... (ii)

(i) - (ii) gives;

c²x - 36x + 0 = c² - 3c - 3c

c²x - 36x = c²

c²x - c² = 36x

c²(x - 1) = 36x

c² = \frac{36x}{x - 1}

If  c = -2 then;

(-2)² = 4 = \frac{36x}{x - 1} , 4x - 4 = 36x , 32x = -4 , x = -\frac{1}{8}

If c = 2  then;

2² = 4 = \frac{36x}{x - 1}  , 4x - 4 = 36x , 32x = -4 , x = -\frac{1}{8}

If c = 6 then;

6² = 36 = \frac{36x}{x - 1} , 36x - 36 = 36x, 36x - 36x = 36 , x (36 - 36) = 36 , x(0) = 36 , x =   \frac{36}{0} = undefined or infinitely many solutions.

Hence the system of equations given above will have infinitely many solutions if the value of c is 6.

The area of a circle is 1441 m2.<br> What is the diameter of the circle?
gregori [183]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The area of a circle is the radius squared multiplied by pi (we will use 3.14). We already have the area, so we will go backwards.

1441÷3.14≈458.9171975

We find the square root.

√458.9≈21.42235275

Now we have our approximate radius. The diameter is twice the radius.

21.42235275×2=42.8447055

I don't know exactly if they want you to round it or not, but the diameter is somewhere around there.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Q =3x2+5x-2 R = 2 – x2 S = 2x + 5 Find Q – [R + S] Show all of the steps.
matrenka [14]

Q=3x^2+5x-2\\R=2-x^2\\S=2x+5\\\\Q-[R+S]=(3x^2+5x-2)-[(2-x^2)+(2x+5)]\\\\=(3x^2+5x-2)-(2-x^2+2x+5)\\\\=(3x^2+5x-2)-[-x^2+2x+(2+5)]\\\\=(3x^2+5x-2)-(-x^2+2x+7)\\\\=3x^2+5x-2-(-x^2)-2x-7\\\\=3x^2+5x-2+x^2-2x-7\\\\=(3x^2+x^2)+(5x-2x)+(-2-7)\\\\=\boxed{4x^2+3x-9}
