Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Isolate the x-term in the first equation:

     x-3y=4 -> x=3y+4

2. Substitute <em>3y+4</em> in for x in the second equation and solve

     2(3y+4)-6y=8 : Distribute the 2

     6y+8-6y=8 : Combine like terms

     8=8

3. Isolate the y-term in the first equation:

    x-3y=4 -> -3y=-x+4

 a. Solve for y:

       (-3y=-x+4)/-3 : Divide by -3

       y=(1/3)x-(4/3)

4. Substitute (1/3)x-(4/3) in for y in the second equation and solve:

     2x-6((1/3)x-(4/3))=8 : Distribute the -6

     2x-2x+8=8 : Combine like terms

     8=8

Explanation:

When you solve a system of equations and get a true statement-

The lines are parallel.

Parallel lines will never intersect, so there is no solution.

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

if the pair of equation has one or more than one solution then it is said to be consistent.

  • Only one solution , then independent system.
  • More than one solution , then dependent system.

if the pair of equation has no solution then it is said to be inconsistent.

Given : x - 3y = 4 ...[1]

2x - 6y = 8 ...[2]

Solution :

Solving equations with the help of Substituting methods:

x - 3y = 4

x = 4 +3y

Putting value of x from [1] in [2]:

2(4+3y)-6y=8

8+6y-6y=8

6y=6y

0 = 0

Given , system of equation will have infinite solution. Hence consistent and dependent.

The given system of equations will have infinite solutions.

Find the smallest zero solution of h(x)= 4x^2-8x-60
Komok [63]
-3.

Multiply 60 with 4 and then find the factor when added together which would give you the middle number. Notice that because it is a negative equation that both signs are negative. This means that the biggest factor of 240 will be negative.

Then, rewrite the equation 4x^2 +12x -20x -60 and divide it into two parts (4x^2 + 12x) (-20x-60) and then factor each part. If done correctly, the numbers left in the parenthesis should be the same. This way the part outside is one factor and the part inside is the other. This should get you 4x -20 and x +3.

Set both equal to zero and you get your two solutions. One is -3 and the other is 5.

Hope this helps!

What is the range the 3rd side of the triangle can be with sides 15 cm and 14 cm?
lawyer [7]

Answer: if you are referring to a right triangle the third side might be 20.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

I just used Pythagorean theorem  in which c^2=a^2+b^2

so this is c^2= 225 + 196 and then you get c^2= 421 and finally you get the square root of 421 so this way you finally get 20.5 cm

Hope I helped

What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (3, 4) and a directrix of y = 8?
aksik [14]

Answer:

The equation of the quadratic graph is f(x)= - (1/8) (x-3)^2 + 6 (second option)

Step-by-step explanation:

Focus: F=(3,4)=(xf, yf)→xf=3, yf=4

Directrix: y=8 (horizontal line), then the axis of the parabola is vertical, and the equation has the form:

f(x)=[1 / (4p)] (x-h)^2+k

where Vertex: V=(h,k)

The directix y=8 must intercept the axis of the parabola at the point (3,8), and the vertex is the midpoint between this point and the focus:

Vertex is the midpoint between (3,8) and (3,4):

h=(3+3)/2→h=6/2→h=3

k=(8+4)/2→k=12/2→k=6

Vertex: V=(h,k)→V=(3,6)

p=yf-k→p=4-6→p=-2

Replacing the values in the equation:

f(x)= [ 1 / (4(-2)) ] (x-3)^2 + 6

f(x)=[ 1 / (-8) ] (x-3)^2 +6

f(x)= - (1/8) (x-3)^2 + 6
