A system is inconsistent when there are no solutions between the two equations. Graphically, the lines will be parallel (they never meet!) and the slopes will be the same. But the y-intercepts will be different.
Let's look at the four equations, with each solved as needed, into y = mx + b form.
A: 2x + y = 5
y = 5 - 2x
y = -2x + 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5, the slopes are different, so this system won't be inconsistent. Not a good choice.
B: y = 2x + 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5, the slopes are the same and the y intercepts are the same. This system has infinitely many solutions. Not a good choice.
C: 2x - 4y = 10
-4y = 10 - 2x
-4y = -2x + 10
y = 2/4x -10/4
Here the slopes are different, so, like A this is not a good choice.
D: 2y - 4x = -10
2y = =10 + 4x
2y = 4x - 10
y = 2x - 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5 we have the same slopes and different y intercepts. The lines will be parallel and the system is inconsistent.
Thus, D is the best choice.
Since 4 is between 2 & 5 you input it into the middle equation.
x=4
so the answer is 4!
Answer:
$63.75
Step-by-step explanation:
15% off
Get percentage of retail price
1-0.15 = .85
0.85 = 85%
The sale price is 85% of the retail price
Multiply
0.85 * 75
$63.75
Since 1 pound is $3.09, 4.5 pounds will be:
It says to round to nearest hundredth, so your answer is $13.91.
Answer:
The diver will take 2.449 seconds to enter the water.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that quadratic equation for the diver jumps is
We have to find the time taken for the diver to enter the water. When the diver enters the water, the height becomes zero.
Therefore, the diver will take 2.449 seconds to enter the water.
