The answer would be A. When using Cramer's Rule to solve a system of equations, if the determinant of the coefficient matrix equals zero and neither numerator determinant is zero, then the system has infinite solutions. It would be hard finding this answer when we use the Cramer's Rule so instead we use the Gauss Elimination. Considering the equations:

x + y = 3 and <span>2x + 2y = 6
Determinant of the equations are </span>
<span>| 1 1 | </span>
<span>| 2 2 | = 0
</span>
the numerator determinants would be
<span>| 3 1 | . .| 1 3 | </span>
<span>| 6 2 | = | 2 6 | = 0.
Executing Gauss Elimination, any two numbers, whose sum is 3, would satisfy the given system. F</span>or instance (3, 0), <span>(2, 1) and (4, -1). Therefore, it would have infinitely many solutions. </span>

Ms. Wilson draws a model of the factorization of a polynomial with integer factors. Her model is partially complete.
sergejj [24]
I'll just factor the above equation.

x² + 18x + 80

x² ⇒ x * x
80
can be:
1 x 80
2 x 40
4 x 20
5 x 16
8 x 10  Correct pair

(x+8)(x+10)
x(x+10) +8(x+10) ⇒ x² + 10x + 8x + 80 = x² + 18x + 80

x+8 = 0
x = -8

x+10 = 0
x = -10

x = -8

(-8)² + 18(-8) + 80 = 0
64 - 144 + 80 = 0
144 - 144 = 0
0 = 0

(-10)² + 18(-10) + 80 = 0
100 - 180 + 80 = 0
180 - 180 = 0
0 = 0

I think the algebra tiles will not be a good tool to use to factor the quadratic equation because the equation is not a perfect square quadratic equation.

LSA of a cube is 1600cm2, then its edge is:
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A cube has 6 faces. Two of the faces are bases. The other four faces are lateral faces.

Let the area of 1 face = x

4x = 1600 cm^2

x = 400 cm^2

Since the area of 1 face is 400 cm^2, then the side length is sqrt(400 cm^2) = 20 cm

Answer: 20 cm

angle U and angle W are vertical angles. If measurement angle u = 6x+11 and measurement angle W = 10x-9, find measurement angle
IgorC [24]

The measure of angle U will be equal to the measure of angle W.

Because W is pronounced "double u", W = 2 * U.

Therefore U = W and U = 2 * W, so both U and W = 0.


Just kidding.

The correct answer is the smallest prime number greater than 40.
