Answer:
B: 4 solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Combining the two equations results in 2x² = 52, or x² = 26.
This equation has two solutions: x = ±√26.
As before, x² = 26. If we substitute 26 for x² in the 1st equation, we get:
26 - 4y² = 16, or 4y² = 10, or y = ±√5/2. Again: two solutions.
If we take x to be +√26, y could be ±√(5/2).
Check: is ( √26, √(5/2) ) a solution of the system?
Subbing these values into the first equation, we get:
26 - 4(5/2) = 16. Is this true?
Then 10 = 10. Yes.
Through three more checks, we find that this system has FOUR solutions.
Answer:
4/25 = 0.16
Step-by-step explanation:
The shortest stick must be between 0 and 5/3. The probability that it is longer than 1 is therefore:
(5/3 − 1) / (5/3 − 0)
(2/3) / (5/3)
2/5
So the probability that both of the shortest sticks are longer than 1 is (2/5)² = 4/25.
First option. The inequality can be split into two separate inequalities.
The answer is B. <span>Two lines are perpendicular if they meet at one point and one of the angles at their point of intersection is a right angle. A perpendicular line has to intersect and have a 90-degree angle in order to be perpendicular.</span>
