Given the following system of equations: 2x + 6y = 12 4x + 3y = 15 Which action creates an equivalent system that will eliminate

one variable when they are combined? Multiply the second equation by −2 to get −8x − 6y = −30. Multiply the first equation by 2 to get 4x + 12y = 24. Multiply the second equation by −4 to get −16x − 12y = −60. Multiply the first equation by −4 to get −8x − 24y = −48.

Option A and B are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following systems of equation:

2x + 6y = 12 \\4x + 3y = 15

We need to identify the action creates an equivalent system that will eliminate one variable when they are combined.

Checking the options:

a) Multiply the second equation by −2 to get −8x − 6y = −30

If we add equation(1) and the new equation(2) the variable y will be eliminated. So, this is the correct option.

b)  Multiply the first equation by 2 to get 4x + 12y = 24.

If we subtract new equation(1) and equation(2), the variable x will be eliminated. So, this is the correct option.

c) Multiply the second equation by −4 to get −16x − 12y = −60

By adding or subtracting, none of the variable is eliminated. So, it is not the correct option.

d) Multiply the first equation by −4 to get −8x − 24y = −48.

By adding or subtracting, none of the variable is eliminated. So, it is not the correct option.

So, Option A and B are correct.

Answer:

Multiply the second equation by −2 to get −8x − 6y = −30.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

----> first equation

----> second equation

Solve by elimination

Multiply the second equation by -2 both sides

---> equivalent second equation

Adds first equation and the equivalent second equation

Find the value of y

substitute the value of x in any of the equation

the solution of the system is the point (3,1)

What is the inverse of f(x)=e^x
enot [183]

Answer:

f^{-1}(x)=\ln{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

An <em>inverse</em> function is any function that "undoes" another function. If we think of the function f as some kind of machine that takes in a number x as input and produces a number f(x) as an output, when we give inverse function f^{-1} the number f(x) as in input, we get x, our original input, as the output f^{-1}(x)

We need a function that undoes f(x)=e^x, and the natural choice for undoing an exponent is with a logarithm. Here, our base is e, so we'll choose \log_e{x}=\ln{x} as our inverse function. Let's see how that works:

f^{-1}(f(x))=\ln{e^x}

\ln{e^x} is the power we have to raise e to to get e^x, which is x, so

f^{-1}(f(x))=\ln{e^x}=x

And we have our function.

Find the value of the missing angle​
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

35°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

subtract the sum of the 2 given angles from 180° for missing angle

missing angle = 180° - (90 + 55)° = 180° - 145° = 35°
