ax +by = 16
3x+2y=64

In the system of equations, a and b are constants. if the system has infinitely many solutions, what's the value of ab?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The system has infinitely many solutions when a = 3/4 and b = 1/2

Given

System of linear equations

ax +by = 163x+2y=64

To find

Values of a and b that leads to infinitely many solutions

Solution

The linear system of equations has infinitely many solutions when lines overlap, so both have same slope and y-intercept.

We can solve it in two different ways

1. Note that when the first equation is multiplied by 4, it has same value of constant as the second equation, which is 64.

4ax + 4by = 643x + 2y = 64

When compared it gives us:

4a = 3 ⇒ a = 3/44b = 2 ⇒ b = 2/4 = 1/2

2. Convert both equations from standard to slope-intercept form and compare:

ax + by = 16by = -ax + 16y = - (a/b)x + 16/b

3x + 2y = 642y = - 3x + 64y = - (3/2)x + 32

Work out values of a and b:

16/b = 32 ⇒ b = 16/32 ⇒ b = 1/2- (a/b) = - 3/2 ⇒ a/b = 3/2 ⇒ a = 3b/2 ⇒ a = 3(1/2)/2 ⇒ a = 3/4

Answers

Figure A is a diagram which represents the statement "If it is a tree, then it has leaves."

How to analyze and interpret the diagram?

In figure A, we can observe that the subset representing "trees" lie inside another subset which represents "has leaves." Thus, we can logically deduce that the statement "All trees have leaves" and "if it is a tree, it has leaves" is represented by figure A.

On the other hand, we can observe that the subset representing "has leaves" lie inside another subset which represents "trees," which contradicts the given statement "If it is a tree, then it has leaves."

Determine the most precise name for ABCD (parallelogram, rhombus, rectangle, or square). Explain how you determined your answer. You must support your answer using length or slope. A(3, 5), B(7, 6), C(6, 2), D(2, 1)

Answers

In the imaged attached, the most precise name for ABCD  is known to be rhombus.

What is the shape about?

Looking at the shape attached, one can see that the diagonals of a parallelogram are said to be bisecting one other and if it cross at right angles, it is said to be a rhombus.

Using the Diagonal midpoints of AC and BD, the equation will be:

(A+C)/2

(B+D)/2

To find if the midpoints are similar, then:

A +C = (3, 5) +(6, 2) = (9, 7)

B +D = (7, 6) +(2, 1) = (9, 7)

Therefore, from the solution above, the midpoints of the diagonals are the same, making the shape to be a parallelogram.

In terms of Diagonal vectors, the shape will be perpendicular when the figure is a rhombus. So:

 AC = C -A = (6, 2) -(3, 5) = (3, -3)

BD = D -B = (2, 1) -(7, 6) = (-5, -5)

So the lengths will be (3√2 vs 5√2).

Note also that the dot-product of these values need to be zero if they are perpendicular and as such:

 AC·BD = x1·x2 +y1·y2 = (3)(-5) +(-3)(-5) = -15 +15 = 0

Therefore, one can say that the diagonals are known to different length and are perpendicular bisectors, so the shape above is regarded as rhombus.

How to compute the standard deviation?

From the information given, the mean is 74000 and X is given as 60000.

P[(Z < (-60000 - 74000)/SD] = 0.02

Note that 0.02 will be -2.0537 under the normal distribution table.

Answers

The transformation of C(9, 3) when dilated with a scale factor of 1/3, using the point (3, 6) as the center of dilation would be an option B: C'(3,1).

What is Dilation transformation?

A dilation transformation is a transformation that changes the size of the original figure but the shape remains unchanged.

If any figure is dilated by a scale factor k with the center of dilation as the origin.

Then the change of transformation in each of the vertices of the figure is given:

(x,y) → (kx, ky)

It is given a point C which is located at C(9,3).

Hence, here k=3

We get:

C(9,3) → C'(9×3,3×3)

C(9,3) → C'(27,9) = C'(3,1)

The general form and the standard form of the graph equation are 13x - 8y = 17 and 13x - 8y - 17 = 0 respectively

How to determine the equations?

From the graph, we have the following points

(x,y) = (5,6) and (-3,-7)

Start by calculating the slope:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 -x_1}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]m = \frac{-7 - 6}{-3 - 5}[/tex]

Evaluate the differences

[tex]m = \frac{-13}{-8}[/tex]

Evaluate the quotient

[tex]m = \frac{13}{8}[/tex]

The equation is then calculated as:

[tex]y = m(x - x_1) + y_1[/tex]

This gives

[tex]y = \frac{13}8(x - 5) + 6[/tex]

Multiply through by 8

8y = 13(x - 5) + 48

Open the bracket

8y = 13x - 65 + 48

Evaluate the like terms

8y = 13x - 17

Subtract 13x from both sides

-13x + 8y = -17

Multiply through by -1

13x - 8y = 17 ---- this represents the standard form

Subtract 17 from both sides

13x - 8y - 17 = 0 --- this represents the general form

Hence, the general form and the standard form of the graph equation are 13x - 8y = 17 and 13x - 8y - 17 = 0 respectively

Find the equation of the parabola that has zeros of x = - 6 and x = 6 and a y-intercept of (0, 4)

Answers

The equation of the parabola that has zeros of x = - 6 and x = 6 and a y-intercept of (0, 4) would be Y=-1/9(x^2-36).

What is the equation of the parabola that has zeros?

Since the zeros are symmetrical to the y axis, the equation can be written as;

y = a(x-b)(x+b),

where a is a scale factor and b is x-intercept.

From the given zeroes

y = A(x-6)(x+6).

Now we can plug in the y-intercept (0,4)

4 = A(0-6)(0+6)

4 = A(-36)

-36A=4

A = -1/9

Therefore the equation would be

Y = -1/9(x-6)(x+6),
