Answer:

B.a=b, c≠0

C.a=b, c=0

D.a-b=1, c≠1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation given is c = ax - bx. We can factor the right-hand side to obtain an equivalent equation which is c = (a-b)x

Let’s explore each answer choice given. We are looking for cases where there is no one solution for the equation.

A

a-b = 1 so the right-hand side becomes 1x and we have x=c. Since c is 0 we have one solution that is x=0

B

a=b so a-b =0 and the equation becomes 0=c but the answer choice says c does not equal zero. So in this case there is no solution. This is a correct answer to the problem.

C

This is the same as choice B but since C =0 both sides of the equation equal zero. We get 0=0 but notice that this is true no matter what the value of x is so this equation is called identity and any value of x will do so there isn’t one solution but rather infinitely many. This is another right answer.

D

Here a-b=1 so we end up with x = c and since c doesn’t equal one any value of x except 1 is a solution so there isn’t one solution but infinitely many. This too is an answer to the question.

E

Since a doesn’t equal b and since c = 0 we have (a-b)x = 0 so. Either a-b is zero but since a and b are different this can’t be or x is zero. This there is one solution: x=0.

<em>From the above, the answer to the question is choices </em><em>B, C, and D</em>

Use the properties of exponents to rewrite y=e^-0.75t in the form of a(1-r)^t
Ivahew [28]

Answer: y = (1 - 0.527)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

y=e^(-0.75t)


y=(e^-0.75)^t


y= 0.47236655^t


1 - 0.47236655 = 0.52763345

y = (1 - 0.527)^t

Does this graph show a function explain how you know
galina1969 [7]
No, the graph fails the vertical line test. In a function, each x value only has one y value. The y value can have more than one x value in a function

HELP PLEASE!!
zhenek [66]

Answer:

y = 1/2x + 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point-slope form of a straight line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)     (where m=slope and(x1,y1) is a point on line).

y - 3 = 1/2(x - 4)

y = 1/2x - 2 + 3

y = 1/2x + 1.
