<h3>Answer: A) intersecting</h3>

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

Work Shown:

Solve the first equation for y

x+y = ab

y = -x+ab

y = -1x + ab

slope = -1, y intercept = ab

-----------

Solve for y in the second equation

bx - y = a

bx - y - a = 0

bx-a = y

y = bx - a

Slope = b, y intercept = -a

-----------

The first equation has a slope of -1. The second equation has a slope of b.

Since b cannot equal -1, this means the two equations have different slopes. It is impossible for these two lines to be parallel, because parallel lines have equal slopes. The different slope values tell us the lines cross at exactly one point.

Find the range of the dataset<br> 8,11,5,22,9,18,5,20
lakkis [162]

Answer: 17

Step-by-step explanation: The range of a data set is the difference between the largest and smallest numbers

In this data set, the largest number is 22 and the smallest number is 5 so the range of the data set will simply be 22 - 5 or 17.

So the range of this data set is 17.

Given an arithmetic sequence with a3=5 and a5=19, find the 24th term.
krok68 [10]

The 24th term is 152

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:

a_n=a+(n-1)d , where

  • a is the first term
  • d is the common difference between consecutive terms

The third term means n = 3

∵ a_3=a+(3-1)d

∴ a_3=a+2d

∵ a_3 = 5

- Equate the right hand sides of the third term

∴ a + 2d = 5 ⇒ (1)

The fifth term means n = 5

∵ a_5=a+(5-1)d

∴ a_5=a+4d

∵ a_5 = 19

- Equate the right hand sides of the fifth term

∴ a + 4d = 19 ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equations to solve it

Subtract equation (1) from equation (2) to eliminate a

∴ 2d = 14

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ d = 7

- Substitute the value of d in equation (1) to find a

∵ a + 2(7) = 5

∴ a + 14 = 5

- Subtract 14 from both sides

∴ a = -9

The twenty fourth term means n = 24

∵ a = -9 and d = 7

- Substitute the values of a and d in the formula of the nth term

∴ a_24=-9+(24-1)(7)

∴ a_24=-9+(23)(7)

∴ a_24=-9+161

∴ a_24=152

The 24th term is 152

If Jaime is riding at 14 miles per hour and Cori is riding at 0.40 km per minute, how far will each of them bike in two hours? 1
user100 [1]

Answer:

just take speed =distance ÷time

dustance is speedxtime

14x1.61=22.54÷60 to change to min =0.37km per minute

0.40x0.37= 0.148 km

perhaps I may get wrong
