Answer:

A = 6, B = -15

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for there to be infinitely many solutions, the equations must be dependent. That is, one of them must be a multiple of the other. Here, the multiplier is apparently -1.

Comparing coefficients on the left, we see that the bottom equation has an x-coefficient that is the opposite of the one in the top equation. So, to make y-coefficients opposite, the top equation should read ...

4x -6y = 15 . . . . . A = 6

Carrying that through, the bottom equation should read ...

-4x +6y = -15 . . . . . B = -15

I THINK the slope is y=2/1-3 or y=2/1+(-3) if you're looking for slope intercept form. but I for sure know the slope is positive. this is what the lines look like. hope this helps

Simplify: 4w(to the power of 9)+(-2w(to the power of 9)) enter the original expression if it cannot be simplified

4w⁹ -2w⁹
= (4-2)w⁹ . . . . . distributive property, or "collecting terms"
= 2w⁹

_____
In plain text, a caret (^) is used to identify an exponent. w⁹ = w^9. If the exponent has any arithmetic, you need parentheses around it. w^(8+1)

the angle of elevation of the top of a building from a point 80 ft away from the building on level ground is 70° determine the b

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Draw a triangle with shortest side on the ground (horiz.). The length of this side is 80 feet. Two angles touch the ground: a right angle, and the 70 degree angle.

Then the height of the building is the 2nd shortest side.

The tangent function is the appropriate one to use here:
opp h
tan 70 deg = -------- = ----------
adj 80 ft
h
Since tan 70 deg = 2.75, 2.75 = -------
80 ft

so h = building height = (80 ft)(2.75) = 219.8 ft
