X=2.5
Because y ok get 5x-8 for the triangle and x+2 for the square set them up to 5x-8=x+2 and you solve yo get 4x=10 and once you divide you get 2.5

Suppose has a solution. Explain why the solution is unique precisely when has only the trivial solution. Choose the correct answ

Margarita [4]

Complete question is;

Suppose Ax = b has a solution. Explain why the solution is unique precisely when Ax = 0 has only the trivial solution. Choose the correct answer.

A. Since Ax = b is inconsistent, its solution set is obtained by translating the solution set of Ax = 0. For Ax = b to be inconsistent, Ax = 0 has only the trivial solution.

B. Since Ax = b is consistent, its solution set is obtained by translating the solution set of Ax = 0. So the solution set of Ax = b is a single vector if and only if the solution set of Ax = 0 is a single vector, and that happens if and only if Ax = 0 has only the trivial solution.

C. Since Ax = b is inconsistent, then the solution set of Ax = 0 is also inconsistent. The solution set of Ax = 0 is inconsistent if and only if Ax = 0 has only the trivial solution.

D. Since Ax = b is consistent, then the solution is unique if and only if there is at least one free variable in the corresponding system of equations. This happens if and only if the equation Ax = 0 has only the trivial solution.

Answer:

Option B: Since Ax = b is consistent, its solution set is obtained by translating the solution set of Ax = 0. So the solution set of Ax = b is a single vector if and only if the solution set of Ax = 0 is a single vector, and that happens if and only if Ax = 0 has only the trivial solution

Step-by-step explanation:

There are different ways of explaining this but we will explain it algebraic ally.

If Ax = b has a solution, then it can be said to be unique if and only if every column of A will be a pivot column. Now, If every column of A will be a pivot column, then it means that there are no free variables, and thus the homogeneous equation will have only the trivial solution.

Also homogeneous equations are always constant.

Thus the correct option is Option B: Since Ax = b is consistent, its solution set is obtained by translating the solution set of Ax = 0. So the solution set of Ax = b is a single vector if and only if the solution set of Ax = 0 is a single vector, and that happens if and only if Ax = 0 has only the trivial solution

Length of the median CP

ehidna [41]

Given:

ΔABC $\sim$ ΔDEF

To find:

The length of median CP

Solution:

In ΔABC,

AP = 12, BP = 12 and PC = 3x - 12

In ΔDEF,

DQ = 16, QE = 16 and FQ = 2x + 8

If two triangles are similar, then their median is proportional to the corresponding sides.

$$\Rightarrow \frac{AP}{DQ} =\frac{PC}{FQ}$

$$\Rightarrow \frac{12}{16} =\frac{3x-12}{2x+8}$

Do cross multiplication.

$$\Rightarrow 12(2x+8)=16(3x-12)$

$$\Rightarrow 24x+96=48x-192$

Add 192 on both sides.

$$\Rightarrow 24x+96+192=48x-192+192$

$$\Rightarrow 24x+288=48x$

Subtract 24x from both sides.

$$\Rightarrow 24x+288- 24x=48x- 24x$

$$\Rightarrow 288=24x$

Divide by 24 on both sides.

⇒ 12 = x

Substitute x = 12 in CP.

CP = 3(12) - 12

= 36 - 12

= 24

The length of median CP is 24.

Ava is buying paint from Amazon. Ava

irina [24]

Answer:

2.625 cups or 21 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Ava needs 3/4 cup of blue paint for every 1 cup of white paint. So, the ratio is 0.75 : 1.

She has 28 ounces of white paint. But, you have to convert ounces to cups.

1 cup = 8 ounces

28 ounces ÷ 8 ounces/cup = 3.5 cups

Now set up a ratio.

$\frac{0.75}{1} = \frac{x}{3.5}$

X (how much blue paint is needed) is over 3.5 cups (the amount of white paint she has)

Cross multiply and divide.

$\frac{0.75}{1} = \frac{x}{3.5}$

x = 0.75 × 3.5

x = 2.625 cups

To convert to ounces, multiply by 8.

2.625 cups × 8 ounces = 21 ounces

Therefore, Ava needs 2.625 cups or 21 ounces of blue paint.

Hope that helps.

How do you grow your own equations

natita [175]

You can formulate your own equations by analyzing the given problem and its statements. You can do some illustrations so you can understand it better. Introduce some variables and the rest is algebra. For example:

An orange costs $2 while a banana costs $1.5. How many oranges and bananas do you have to buy such that the total cost would equal to $20. You bought a total of 12 fruits.

First, you have to introduce variables. Let 'x' be the number of oranges and 'y' be the number of bananas. One equation you can get from here is knowing the amount of total cost: 2x + 1.5y = 20. Then, the other equation would be knowing the amount of fruits: x+y=12. You have two unknowns and two equations. Hence, you can solve the problem. Solving them simultaneously, you would get that x=4 and y=8.
