=======================================================

Explanation:

The author sells 21,000 books in the first month.

Then they sell 21,000*(1-0.12) = 21,000*(0.88) = 18,480 in the second month.

Then they sell 18,480*(1-0.12) = 18,480*(0.88) = 16,262.4 = 16,262 in the third month.

And so on. These values follow a geometric sequence with first term a = 21,000 and common ratio r = 0.88

We can think of the 0.88 as 88% of the original value (since losing 12%, we keep the remaining 88%)

-------------

Use the formula below to sum the first 9 terms of the geometric sequence

Plug in a = 21000 and r = 0.88

$S_n = a*\frac{1-r^n}{1-r}\\\\S_9 = 21000*\frac{1-0.88^9}{1-0.88}\\\\S_9 \approx 21000*\frac{0.6835216}{0.12}\\\\S_9 \approx 21000*5.6960133\\\\S_9 \approx 119,616.2793\\\\S_9 \approx 119,616\\\\$

The author sold about 119,616 books over the course of the first nine months.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

none of these has "no solution"

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

A. The solution is (8/3, 3)

B. The second equation is -1/2 times the first, so these describe the same line. The system has an <em>infinite number of solutions</em>.

C. The solution is (-4, -2)

D. The solution is (4, -2)

E. The second equation is 2 times the first, so these describe the same line. The system has an <em>infinite number of solutions</em>.

_____

A system of equations will have "no solution" when it describes parallel lines—lines that do not intersect. In standard form, such equations are recognizable by their different constants. For example,

3x -4y = -4
3x -4y = 20 . . . . . . 20 is different from -4

have different constants, so the equations describe parallel lines.

We could multiply one of these by -2 and the system would still be "inconsistent"—having no solution.

3x -4y = -4
-6x +8y = -40
