What is the solution of the following system?

Mathematics

<h3>Answer:  B) no solutions</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

Let's isolate the variable y in the first equation

-2x - y = 1

-2x = 1 + y

1+y = -2x

y = -2x-1

Then we'll plug this into the second equation

-4x - 2y = -1

-4x - 2(-2x-1) = -1

-4x + 4x + 2 = -1

0x + 2 = -1

0 + 2 = -1

2 = -1

We run into a contradiction. No matter what x value we pick, the last equation will never be true. This leads to a domino effect to cause the first set of original equations to never be true when considered as a system.

Therefore, this system is inconsistent. There are no solutions. These two lines graph out parallel lines that never intersect.

Consider the sequence 100, 95, 90, 85, 80, 75 ...<br> What is the value of f(8)?
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

f(8) = 65

Step-by-step explanation:

Find a pattern in the sequence. It might be an <u>arithmetic sequence</u> (always adds or subtract by a certain number), or a <u>geometric sequence</u> (always multiplies or divides by a certain number).

To find a pattern in this decreasing sequence, we find either the common difference or the common divisor of each pair of consecutive numbers.

• 100 - 95 = 5

• 95 - 90 = 5

• 90 - 85 = 5

• 85 - 80 = 5

• 80 - 75 = 5

Now, we know that this is an <u>arithmetic sequence</u>, and the common difference is <u>5</u>.

To calculate f(8), we find the 8th term in the sequence. We can do that by counting the terms in the sequence and using the common difference, 5, that we found, to continue the sequence.

• f(1) = 100

• f(2) = 95

• f(3) = 90

     ......

• f(7) = 70

• f(8) = 65
