5 0

Answer:

0 (None) solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

This Linear System has no Solution. It means that mathematically speaking, whatever value inserted for x, or y this will not result in an equality, i.e. we'll always have a false value. Like this:

$\left\{\begin{matrix}3x+y=18&&\\3x+y=16&&\end{matrix}\right.\Rightarrow 3x+(16-3x)=18\Rightarrow 0x=-2$

FALSE Because $0x\neq-2$ then This Linear System does not have solution.

Geometrically, both equations are parallel lines, so they do not have any common point, i.e. solution. Notice they both have the same slope. Check the graph below.

A 15 ft. telephone pole has a wire that extends from the top of the pole to the ground. The wire and the ground form a 42° angle

Lorico [155]

Answer:

Correct choice is A

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider right triangle ABC formed by the telephone pole (side AB) and ground (side BC). In this triangle AC is the length of the wire, BC is the distance from the base of the pole to the spot where the wire touches the ground and AB=15 ft, ∠ACB=42°.

Then

$\sin 42^{\circ}=\dfrac{AB}{AC}\Rightarrow AC=\dfrac{AB}{\sin 42^{\circ}}=\dfrac{15}{\sin 42^{\circ}}\approx 22.4\ ft.$
$\tan 42^{\circ}=\dfrac{AB}{BC}\Rightarrow BC=\dfrac{AB}{\tan 42^{\circ}}=\dfrac{15}{\sin 42^{\circ}}\approx 16.7\ ft.$
