Step-by-step explanation:

The systems of linear equations can have:

1. No solution: When the lines have the same slope but different y-intercept. This means that the lines are parallel and never intersect, therefore, the system of equations has no solution.

2. One solution: When the lines have different slopes and intersect at one point in the plane. The point of intersection will be the solution of the system

3. Infinitely many solutions: When the lines have the same slope and the y-intercepts are equal. This means that the equations represents the same line and there are infinite number of solution.

Therefore, based on the explained above, the conclusion is: Systems of equations with different slopes and different y-intercepts never have more than one solution.

Answer: 196

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given , we have

Population standard deviation: $\sigma=0.6\ lb$

Significance level : $\alpha: 1-0.98=0.02$

Using the z-value table , the critical z value for 98% confidence : $z_{\alpha/2}=2.33$

Margin of error : E= 01 lb

Sample size : $n=(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}\cdot\sigma}{E})^2$

$n=(\dfrac{(2.33)\cdot(0.6)}{0.1})^2$

Simplify , we get

$n=195.4404\approx196$

Hence, the minimum sample size required for books = 196

Which is the best estimate for the diagonal of a rectangle with a width of x and a length of 2x, if x is 1.33?

german

The best estimate for the diagonal of the rectangle is 3 ⇒ B

Step-by-step explanation:

In a rectangle:

The length and the width are perpendicular
The length of its diagonal = $\sqrt{(length)^{2}+(width)^{2}}$ (the diagonal is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are the length and the width of the rectangle)
