Answer: 21 cups of shredded carrots.

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 9 cups of shredded carrots they use, they use 6 cups of sugar.

To use one cup of sugar therefore, the number of cups of shredded carrot is:

= 9/6

= 1.5 cups of shredded carrot

For every 1.5 cups of shredded carrot, a cup of sugar is used.

If they were to use 14 cups of sugar, they would therefore use:

= 14 * 1.5 cups of carrot

= 21 cups of shredded carrot

In Exercises 40-43, for what value(s) of k, if any, will the systems have (a) no solution, (b) a unique solution, and (c) infini
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

If k = −1 then the system has no solutions.

If k = 2 then the system has infinitely many solutions.

The system cannot have unique solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following system of equations

x - 2y +3z = 2\\x + y + z = k\\2x - y + 4z = k^2

The augmented matrix is

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-2&3&2\\1&1&1&k\\2&-1&4&k^2\end{array}\right]

The reduction of this matrix to row-echelon form is outlined below.

R_2\rightarrow R_2-R_1

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-2&3&2\\0&3&-2&k-2\\2&-1&4&k^2\end{array}\right]

R_3\rightarrow R_3-2R_1

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-2&3&2\\0&3&-2&k-2\\0&3&-2&k^2-4\end{array}\right]

R_3\rightarrow R_3-R_2

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-2&3&2\\0&3&-2&k-2\\0&0&0&k^2-k-2\end{array}\right]

The last row determines, if there are solutions or not. To be consistent, we must have k such that

k^2-k-2=0

\left(k+1\right)\left(k-2\right)=0\\k=-1,\:k=2

Case k = −1:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&-2&3&2\\0&3&-2&-1-2\\0&0&0&(-1)^2-(-1)-2\end{array}\right] \rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&-2&3&2\\0&3&-2&-3\\0&0&0&-2\end{array}\right]

If k = −1 then the last equation becomes 0 = −2 which is impossible.Therefore, the system has no solutions.

Case k = 2:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&-2&3&2\\0&3&-2&2-2\\0&0&0&(2)^2-(2)-2\end{array}\right] \rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&-2&3&2\\0&3&-2&0\\0&0&0&0\end{array}\right]

This gives the infinite many solution.

7) A real number that is less than zero. These represent opposites.
enot [183]

Answer:

A negative number

Step-by-step explanation:

I know this is right. Negative numbers represent opposites. If positive represents a movement to the right, negative represents a movement to the left.In the context of negative numbers, a number that is greater than zero is referred to as positive. Thus every real number other than zero is either positive or negative, while zero itself is not considered to have a sign. Positive numbers are sometimes written with a plus sign in front, e.g. +3 denotes a positive three.

For the graph of the function, identify the axis of symmetry, vertex and the formula for the function.
snow_tiger [21]
We know that this is a parabola, as the equation is denoted by the x^2 term.

We can see that the symmetry is seen at the point -0.5, therefore making the axis of symmetry the vertical line -0.5.

The vertex is found in quadrant three. In other words, it will shift by a negative value both horizontally and vertically. The vertex is therefore (-0.5, -0.5).

We can verify this in the equations by using the formula (-b/2a) to find the vertex. The only quadratic equation that satisfies this is -2x^2 + 2x -1.

To sum it up, the answers are:

-2x^2 + 2x - 1.

AoS: x = -0.5

Vertex: (-0.5, -0.5).
