1. 4x + 8y = 12....divide by 4
x + 2y = 3
2y = -x + 3
y = -1/2x + 3/2...slope is -1/2, y int is 3/2
x + 2y = -3
2y = -x - 3
y = -1/2x - 3/2...slope is -1/2 and y int is -3/2
when the slopes are the same, and the y int are different, then the lines are parallel and never intersect...so they have no solution and are inconsistent
=================
2. y = 2x - 1...slope is 2 and y int is -1
y = -2x + 5 ...slope is -2 and y int is 5
when the slopes are different and the y int are different, then there is 1 solution making it independent
=================
3. 4x - 12y = 8...divide by 4
x - 3y = 2
same as other equation meaning the equations are the same line...meaning they have infinite solutions making them dependent
You would be correct. Direct reasoning you already have your teacher who told you what would happen you are simply doing a reaction because of her.
Parentheses first -4+-8= -12(1)= -12
= -12
Answer:
The set of natural numbers is the set of all positive integers, then this set is:
{1, 2, 3, ...}
and the 24th letter of the alphabet is x
Now we want to write the expression given in the sentence "It is one more than the sum of the first three natural numbers, followed by the 24th letter of the alphabet"
We can "break" this in parts, so it is easier to understand.
Then:
"...the sum of the first 3 natural numbers..."
is:
1 + 2 + 3
Then:
"...the sum of the first 3 natural numbers, followed by the 24th letter of the alphabet"
This can be written as:
(1 + 2 + 3) + x
Now we can analyze the complete sentence:
"It is one more than the sum of the first three natural numbers, followed by the 24th letter of the alphabet"
This is equal to the expression we found above plus one, then we can write this as:
[(1 + 2 + 3) + x] + 1
[6 + x] + 1
6 + x + 1
7 + x
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
The square roots of 25 are √25=5 and −√25=−5 since 52=25 and (−5)2=25 . The principal square root of 25 is √25=5 .
