Answer:
one point
Step-by-step explanation:
A system of two linear equations will have one point in the solution set if the slopes of the lines are different.
__
When the equations are written in the same form, the ratio of x-coefficient to y-coefficient is related to the slope. It will be different if there is one solution.
- ratio for first equation: 1/1 = 1
- ratio for second equation: 1/-1 = -1
These lines have <em>different slopes</em>, so there is one solution to the system of equations.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
When the equations are in slope-intercept form with the y-coefficient equal to 1, the x-coefficient is the slope.
y = mx +b . . . . . slope = m
When the equations are in standard form (as in this problem), the ratio of x- to y-coefficient is the opposite of the slope.
ax +by = c . . . . . slope = -a/b
As long as the equations are in the same form, the slopes can be compared by comparing the ratios of coefficients.
__
If the slopes are the same, the lines may be either parallel (empty solution set) or coincident (infinite solution set). When the equations are in the same form with reduced coefficients, the lines will be coincident if they are the same equation.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In a G.P, the nth term is given as
Un=ar^(n-1)
Where
a is first term
n is nth term
And r is common ratio
So in the question given above,
The third term exceed the first term by 16
i.e U3=U1+16
Where U1=a. First term
U3=a+16
Given also that, the sum if the third term and fourth term is 72.
Then U3+U4=72.
We are told to find common ratio (r)
U3=ar^3-1
U3=ar^2
Also, U4=ar^3
U3+U4=72
ar^2+ar^3=72
ar^2(1+r)=72. equation 1
Also for
U3=a+16
ar^2=a+16
ar^2-a=16
a(r^2-1)=16. From (x^2-y^2)=(x+y)(x-y)
Then,
a(r-1)(r+1)=16. Equation 2
Divide equation 2 by equation 1
a(r-1)(r+1)/ar^2(1+r) =16/72
Then a cancel a and (1+r) cancel (1+r)
So,
(r-1)/r^2=2/9
Cross multiply
9(r-1)=2r^2
2r^2-9r+9=0
Solving the quadratic equation
2r^2-6r-3r+9=0
2r(r-3)-3(r-3)=0
(r-3)(2r-3)=0
r-3=0. Or. 2r-3= 0
Then r=3 or r=3/2
The number will be equal to 11.67.
<h3>What is an expression?</h3>
Expression in maths is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
The expression will be formed from the given data. Let the number be x so the expression will be:-
3x - 7 = 28
3x = 35
x = 35 / 3
x = 11.67
Therefore the number will be equal to 11.67.
