systems have no solution if they have the same slope, but different y-intercepts.

3/4x - 1/2y = 12, y = 2(3/4x - 12) = 3/2x - 24

ax - by = 9, y = (ax-9)/b, = ax/b -9/b

for the slopes to be the same, following must be true:

ax/b = 3/2x

a/b = 3/2

Correct answer is C

Given $f(x,\ y)=x^2-y^2-2$ subject to the constraint $x^2+y^2=16$

Let $g(x,\ y)=x^2+y^2$ .

The gradient vectors of $f$ and $g$ are:

$\nabla f(x,\ y)=\langle2x,-2y\rangle$ and $\nabla g(x,\ y)=\langle2x,2y\rangle$

By Lagrange's theorem, there is a number $\lambda$ , such that

$\langle2x,-2y\rangle=\lambda\langle2x,2y\rangle=\langle2\lambda x,2\lambda y\rangle$

$\lambda=\pm1$

It can be seen that $f(x,\ y)=x^2-y^2-2$ has local extreme values at the given region.

Find the slope of the line that passes through (1,6) and (4,4)

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

y=-2/3x+20/3

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(4-6)/(4-1)

m=-2/3

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-6=-2/3(x-1)

y=-2/3x+2/3+6

y=-2/3x+2/3+18/3

y=-2/3x+20/3

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

1, 7, 17, 31

Step-by-step explanation:

2(1)² + 1 - 2 = 3-2 = 1

2(2)² + 1 - 2 = 9-2 = 7

2(3)² + 1 - 2 = 19-2 = 17

2(4)² + 1 - 2 = 33-2 = 31
