Answer: Choice C) </h3><h3>
The system can only be independent and consistent</h3>
===========================================================
Explanation:
Let's go through the answer choices
- A) This isn't possible. Either a system is consistent or inconsistent. It cannot be both at the same time. The term "inconsistent" literally means "not consistent". It's like saying a cup is empty and full at the same time. We can rule out choice A.
- B) This is similar to choice A and we cannot have a system be both independent and dependent. Either a system is independent or dependent, but not both. Independence means that the two equations are not tied together, while dependent equations are some multiple of each other. We can rule out choice B.
- C) We'll get back to this later
- D) The independence/dependence status is unknown without the actual equations present. However, we know 100% that this system is not inconsistent. This is because the system has at least one solution. Inconsistent systems do not have any solutions at all (eg: parallel lines that never cross). We can rule out choice D because of this.
Going back to choice C, again we don't have enough info to determine if the system is independent or dependent, but we at least know it's consistent. Consistent systems have one or more solutions. So part of choice C can be confirmed. It being the only thing left means that it has to be the final answer.
If it were me as the teacher, I'd cross out the "independent" part of choice C and simply say the system is consistent.
Answer:
20.8333333333
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 6 isn't a factor of 125 there will be a decimal.
6 goes into 125 20 times. Then it can fit in .8333333333 times.,
Hello!
Here are some rules to determine the number of significant figures.
- Numbers that are not zero are significant (45 - all are sigfigs)
- Zeros between non-zero digits are significant (3006 → all are sigfigs)
- Trailing zeros are not significant (0.067 → the first two zeros are not sigfigs)
- Trailing zeros after a decimal point are always significant (1.000 → all are sigfigs)
- Trailing zeros in a whole number are not significant (7800 → the last two zeros are not sigfigs)
- In scientific notation, the exponential digits are not significant, known as place holders (6.02 x 10² → 10² is not a sigfig)
Now, let's find the number of significant figures in each given number.
A). 296.54
Since these digits are all <em>non-zero</em>, there are 5 significant figures.
B). 5003.1
Since the two <em>zeros are between non-zero digits</em>, they are significant figures. Thus, there are 5 significant figures.
C). 360.01
Again, the two zeros are between non-zero digits. There are 5 significant figures.
D). 18.3
All of these digits are non-zero, hence, there are 3 significant figures.
Therefore, expression D has the fewest number of significant figures being 3.
