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>

31. At the candy store: => Ericka bought 3 kilograms of Cinnamon red hots and 1 kilograms of gummy bears for 21.00 dollars. => Irene bought 3 kilograms of cinnamon red hots and 3 kilograms of gummy bears for 39.00 dollars. Question: Find the costs of each kilograms. Notice that the cinnamon red hot that they both are the same, the only difference is the gummy bears, which added 2kilos for Irene. Now, let’s subtract => 39 – 21 = 18 dollars – this is the costs of 2 kilos of gummy bear => 18 / 2 = 9 dollars, thus the price of each kilos of gummy bear is 9 dollars, Now, let’s solve for the cinnamon => 21 – 9 = 12 dollars, to be divided with 3 kilos => 12 / 3 = 4 dollars – the price of cinnamon red hot per kilo.

Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (−2, 4) and a directrix of y = 6. Put the equation in standard form.
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

From any point (x, y) on the parabola the focus and directrix are equidistant.

Using the distance formula

\sqrt{(x+2)^2+(y-4)^2} = | y - 6 |

Squaring both sides

(x + 2)² + (y - 4)² = (y - 6)² ←  distributing

x² + 4x + 4 + y² - 8y + 16 = y² - 12y + 36 ( subtract y² - 12y + 36 from both sides )

x² + 4x + 4 + 4y - 20 = 0 ( subtract x² + 4x + 4 from both sides )

4y - 20 = - x² - 4x - 4 ( add 20 to both sides )

4y = - x² - 4x + 16 ( divide through by 4 )

y = - \frac{1}{4} x² - x + 4, that is

f(x) = - \frac{1}{4} x² - x + 4 → B

Find the domain of f(x)= 10x+1 / 8x + 3 and put it in interval notation?
vesna_86 [32]

f(x) = \frac{10x + 1}{8x + 3}

8x + 3 ≠ 0

8x      ≠ -3

\frac{8x}{8} \neq \frac{-3}{8}

   x ≠ \frac{-3}{8}

Interval Notation: (∞,  \frac{-3}{8}) U ( \frac{-3}{8}, ∞)
