b must be equal to -6  for infinitely many solutions for system of equations y = 6x + b and -3 x+\frac{1}{2} y=-3

<u>Solution: </u>

Need to calculate value of b so that given system of equations have an infinite number of solutions

\begin{array}{l}{y=6 x+b} \\\\ {-3 x+\frac{1}{2} y=-3}\end{array}

Let us bring the equations in same form for sake of simplicity in comparison

\begin{array}{l}{y=6 x+b} \\\\ {\Rightarrow-6 x+y-b=0 \Rightarrow (1)} \\\\ {\Rightarrow-3 x+\frac{1}{2} y=-3} \\\\ {\Rightarrow -6 x+y=-6} \\\\ {\Rightarrow -6 x+y+6=0 \Rightarrow(2)}\end{array}

Now we have two equations  

\begin{array}{l}{-6 x+y-b=0\Rightarrow(1)} \\\\ {-6 x+y+6=0\Rightarrow(2)}\end{array}

Let us first see what is requirement for system of equations have an infinite number of solutions

If  a_{1} x+b_{1} y+c_{1}=0 and a_{2} x+b_{2} y+c_{2}=0 are two equation  

\Rightarrow \frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}} then the given system of equation has no infinitely many solutions.

In our case,

\begin{array}{l}{a_{1}=-6, \mathrm{b}_{1}=1 \text { and } c_{1}=-\mathrm{b}} \\\\ {a_{2}=-6, \mathrm{b}_{2}=1 \text { and } c_{2}=6} \\\\ {\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{-6}{-6}=1} \\\\ {\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{1}{1}=1} \\\\ {\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}=\frac{-b}{6}}\end{array}

 As for infinitely many solutions \frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}

\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow 1=1=\frac{-b}{6}} \\\\ {\Rightarrow6=-b} \\\\ {\Rightarrow b=-6}\end{array}

Hence b must be equal to -6 for infinitely many solutions for system of equations y = 6x + b and  -3 x+\frac{1}{2} y=-3

Solve the problem. Make sure your answer is in simplest form. 3/16 x 4/21 = ?
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

\frac{1}{28}

Step-by-step explanation:

The result is given by means of some algebraic handling:

\frac{3}{16}\times \frac{4}{21}

\frac{12}{336} - Multiplication of rationals.

\frac{6}{168} - Dividing each term by 2.

\frac{3}{84} - Dividing each term by 2.

\frac{1}{28} - Dividing each term by 3.

Perform the indicated operation. PLEASEE HELPP HURRYY!! (3 + i) + (5 + 7i) = A) -2 + 6i B) 2 + i C) 8 + 6i D) 8 + 8i
Dovator [93]

Answer:

\boxed{ \bold{  \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{8 + 8i}}}}}

Option D is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf{(3 + i) + (5 + 7i)}

When there is a ( + ) in front of an expression in parentheses , there is no need to change the sign.

That means, the expression remains the same.

Just remove the unnecessary parentheses

⇒\sf{3 + i + 5 + 7i}

Collect like terms and simplify

⇒\sf{3 + 5 + i + 7i}

⇒\sf{8 + 8i}

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!

Joe is considering taking out along with the principal of $15,500 From one of two banks. Bank A charges and interest rate of 6%,
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where

A = total cost of the loan at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount taken as loan.

Considering bank A's offer

From the information given,

P = $15500

r = 6% = 6/100 = 0.06

n = 12 because it was compounded 12 times in a year.

t = 8 years

Therefore,

A = 15500(1 + 0.06/12)^12 × 8

A = 15500(1 + 0.005)^96

A = 15500(1.005)^96

A = $25019.2

The interest paid is

25019.2 - 15500 = $9519.2

Considering bank B's offer

From the information given,

P = $15500

r = 6.5% = 6.5/100 = 0.065

n = 12 because it was compounded 12 times in a year.

t = 7 years

Therefore,

A = 15500(1 + 0.065/12)^12 × 7

A = 15500(1 + 0.0054)^84

A = 15500(1.0054)^84

A = $24366

The interest paid is

24366 - 15500 = $8866

The interest that would by paid on bank B's offer is lower than that of bank A and the duration of the loan offer from bank B is shorter than that of bank A.

Therefore,

Bank A gives you more time to pay up the loan and you end up paying more interest

Bank gives you lesser time to pay up the loan and you end up paying lesser interest.

What is the scale factor that takes the large triangle to the small triangle?
Lerok [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

such a scale factor applies to all sides and lines.

we see that DE is 12 units, and AB is 4 units.

so,

12×f = 4

f = 4/12 = 1/3 is the scale factor

control : check the other side

FE = 6 units

6 × 1/3 = 2

so, the corresponding side in the small triangle must be 2 units long.

and indeed, CB is 2 units long. all correct.

Vlada [557]
When Thanos snaps he wipes out have of the universe. That doesn't mean half of every population on every single planet. That means half of the universe as a whole. This question does not have an exact answer because though its unlikely, it is possible that when Thanos snaps, nobody on Earth dies.
