Angle A and angle B are complementary angles. If m<A = x, which expression represents the number of degrees in angle B?

Usimov [2.4K]

Complimentary just means that they add to be 90, so you take 90 degrees and subtract the angle you already have in order to get the complementary angle

I need the product of a^4xa^6

emmainna [20.7K]

A^4 * a^6

exponent rule : x^y * x^z = x^(y + z)

so, a^4 * a^6 = a^(4 + 6) = a^10

How do you show something declines by a percent%

baherus [9]

If a something with the value of $179,000 dollars decreased in value annually by 3% you would show this by setting a graph or depiction of the drop. You could do this with a line graph to show the slow decrease in value or a bar graph to show how the value is getting smaller

Answer:

$(A)\ a=-6;b=4\\\\ (B)\ a=6;b=-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

$y=mx+c$

Where "m" is the slope and "c" is the y-intercept.

By definition:

1. If the lines of the System of equations are parallel (whrn they have the same slope), the system has No solutions.

2. If the they are the same exact line, the System of equations has Infinite solutions.

(A) Let's solve for "y" from the first equation:

$3x-2y=-1\\\\-2y=-3x-1\\\\y=\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}$

You can notice that:

$m=\frac{3}{2}\\\\c=\frac{1}{2}$

In order make that the System has No solutions, the slopes must be the same, but the y-intercept must not. Then, the values of "a" and "b" can be:

$a=-6\\\\b=4$

Substituting those values into the second equation and solving for "y", you get:

$-6x+4y=-2\\\\4y=6x-2\\\\y=\frac{6}{4}x-{2}{4}\\\\y=\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}$

You can idenfity that:

$m=\frac{3}{2}\\\\c=-\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, they are parallel.

(B) In order make that the System has Infinite solutions, the slopes and the y-intercepts of both equations must be the same. Then, the values of "a" and "b" can be:

$a=6\\\\b=-4$

If you substitute those values into the second equation and then you solve for "y", you get:

$6x+(-4y)=-2\\\\-4y=-6x-2\\\\y=\frac{-6}{-4}x-\frac{2}{-4}\\\\y=\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}$

You can identify that:

$m=\frac{3}{2}\\\\b=\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, they are the same line.
