Answer:

A=-2

B=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the system of linear equations to have infinitely many solution, they must be the same equation.

Ax-y=8

2x+y=B

We need to choose A and B so they are the same equation.

I notice they are both in the same form but in the second column you have opposites;

the -y and y.

So im going to multiply either equation by -1 so that part is exactly the same.

Don't choose both; choose only one.

Let's multiply the first equation by -1.

Doing this gives us the following:

-Ax+y=-8

2x+y=B

So now we can choose A and B so these equations appear exactly the same.

We need -A=2 and B=-8.

-A=2 implies A=(opposite of 2) which is -2.

Conclusion:

A=-2

B=-8

Answer:

A = -2 and B = -8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines a_1x+b_1y+c_1=0\text{ and }a_2x+b_2y+c_2=0 have infinite many solutions if

\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{b_1}{b_2}=\dfrac{c_1}{c_2}

The given equations are

Ax-y=8

2x-y=B

These equations have infinite many solutions if

\dfrac{A}{2}=\dfrac{-1}{1}=\dfrac{8}{B}

\dfrac{A}{2}=-1=\dfrac{8}{B}

\dfrac{A}{2}=-1 or -1=\dfrac{8}{B}

A=-2 or -B=8\Rightarrow B=-8

Hence, the value of A is -2 and the value of B is -8.

What is the leading coefficient of the polynomial?
ANEK [815]

ANSWER

B) 15

EXPLANATION

The given polynomial is

23 {x}^{5}  + 12 {x}^{2}  + 19 { x }^{3}  + 15 {x}^{6}

We arrange this polynomial in ascending powers of x to obtain the standard form;

15 {x}^{6} + 23 {x}^{5}    + 19 { x }^{3} + 12 {x}^{2}

The degree of this polynomial is 6.

The coefficient of the leading term is 15

Hank draws a line with a zero slope through the points (-2,4) and (3.b).which value of b could represent hanks second point ?
Agata [3.3K]
B = 4



A line with a slope of zero is a perfectly horizontal line, which means the y value (the second value) stays the same for every single point on the line.

So, if y equals 4 in the first point, then y still equals 4 in the second point, which means b is equal to 4.

A cookie factory uses 1 1/5 bags of flour in each batch of cookies. the factory used 7 1/5 bags of flour yesterday. how many bat
shtirl [24]

Hello!

To find how much batches of cookies the factory made, we need to divide the total number of bags of flour used by how many bags of flour are needed for one batch of cookies.

Before dividing, we need to convert the complex fraction into an improper fraction.

1 1/5 → 5 × 1 + 1 = 6/5

7 1/5 → 5 × 7 + 1 = 36/5

For every batch of cookies, the factory uses 6/5 bags of flour. Yesterday, the factory used 36/5 bags of flour.

Remember when dividing by a fraction, it is like multiplying its reciprocal. This means that the second fraction is flipped, then which it can be multiplied together.

\frac{36}{5} / \frac{6}{5} → \frac{36}{5} * \frac{5}{6} = \frac{180}{30} = 6

Therefore, the cookie factory made 6 batches of cookies yesterday.
