To solve the system of linear equations 3 x minus 2 y = 4 and 9 x minus 6 y = 12 by using the linear combination method, Henry d

ecided that he should first multiply the first equation by –3 and then add the two equations together to eliminate the x-terms. When he did so, he also eliminated the y-terms and got the equation 0 = 0, so he thought that the system of equations must have an infinite number of solutions. To check his answer, he graphed the equations 3 x minus 2 y = 4 and 9 x minus 6 y = 12 with his graphing calculator, but he could only see one line. Why is this?
(20pt)
because the system of equations actually has only one solution
because the system of equations actually has no solution
because the graphs of the two equations overlap each other
because the graph of one of the equations does not exist

Answer:

"because the graphs of the two equations overlap each other"

Step-by-step explanation:

If he graphs both equations on the graphing calculator and it shows only one line this can mean only one thing:

<em>Both linear equations are the same</em>

An example of this is

x+y=2

2x+2x=4

If you simplify the second equation by dividing everything by 2 you get the same equation as the first one

This means the answer would be "because the graphs of the two equations overlap each other"

(1. The price of a car was $32,300. What is the cost after 5% discount and 7% tax?
stiv31 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

You will need to do this step if the percent off discount ends in a 5 rather than a 0 (for example, 35% or 55% off). It is easy to calculate 5% by simply dividing 10% of the original price by 2, since 5% is half of 10%. For example, if 10% of $50 is $5, then 5% of $50 is $2.50, since $2.50 is half of $5.

Dan enlarged the size of a rectangle to a height of 22.4 in. What is the new width of the rectangle if it was originally 5.6 in
Natalka [10]

Answer:

The new width is 5.6 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

New

H_2 = 22.4

Old

H_1 = 5.6

W_1 = 1.4

Required

The new width

This is calculated using the following equivalent ratio

H_2 : W_2 = H_1 : W_1

22.4 : W_2 = 5.6 : 1.4

Express as fraction

W_2/22.4 = 1.4/5.6

Multiply both sides by 22.4

W_2= 1.4/5.6 * 22.4

W_2= 5.6

How to get the values of a and b? i need to differentiate first the equation? ​
Sidana [21]

Answer:

a=-6

b=-\frac{31}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation of the curve:

y=2x^{3}+bx-5 (1)

And the equation of the line that is normal (perpendicular to that curve) in the point (x,y)=(1,2):

y=\frac{a}{5}x+\frac{16}{5} (2)

Note this equation has the form y=mx+B, where m=\frac{a}{5} is the slope of the line that es normal to the curve and B=\frac{16}{5} the intersection of that line with the y-axis.

Well, let’s begin by finding the slope of the line that is tangent to the curve by differentiating the equation (1):

\frac{dy}{dx}=6x^{2}+b (3)

Then, we have to evaluate that when x=1 (remember we are given the point (1,2)):

\frac{dy}{dx}_{x=1}=6(1)^{2}+b=6+b (4) This is the slope of the line that is tangent to the curve

And the slope of the line that is perpendicular to that tangent line is its negative reciprocal. Hence:

m=-\frac{1}{6+b} (5) This is the slope of the line normal to the curve

Then:  

m=\frac{a}{5}=-\frac{1}{6+b}

a=\-frac{5}{6+b} (6)

Rewritting (2):

y=-\frac{5}{5(6+b)}x+\frac{16}{5} (7)

Evaluating in the point (1,2):

2=-\frac{5}{5(6+b)}1+\frac{16}{5} (8)

Finding b:

b=-\frac{31}{6} (9) This is the value of b

Substituting (9) in (6):

a=\-frac{5}{6-\frac{31}{6}} (10)

a=\-frac{31}{6} (11) This is the value of a
