Which value of m will create a system of parallel lines with no solution?
y=mx-6
8x-4y=12

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: y = 2x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

   Let us turn the second given equation into slope-intercept form to match the first equation.

8x - 4y = 12

8x - 12 = 4y

4y = 8x - 12

y = 2x - 3

   Now, parallel lines have the same slope. This is the m value.

y = 2x - 3

   \/

y = mx - 6

y = 2x - 6

How to subtract negative number from 1

Answers

when you subtract a negative number from any platitude number the equation changes to addition so you would add the value of the negative number to 1.

To subtract a negative number from one you will need to set it up like this

1- (-x) x equals the negative number you're talking about

so we use the method KCC (keep change change)

So we KEEP the positive one, CHANGE the subtraction sign in to a plus sign "+" then CHANGE the negative number to a positive

lets say the negative number is 2

1-(-2)

1+ (+2)

1+2 = 3

2. let n=4, the. n+3=4+3=7, and 4^2=16 and 7^2=49 then 49-16 =33 which is an odd number

please follow me

Detailed Solution:

1) Let ‘n’ be 5
Therefore, (n + 2) = 5 + 2 = 7

=> 5^2 = 25
=> 7^2 = 49


Difference of Squares
= 49 - 25
=> 24

24 is an Even Number.
Hence, proved.

1) Let ‘n’ be 5
Therefore, (n + 3) = 5 + 3 = 8

=> 5^2 = 25
=> 8^2 = 64


Difference of Squares
= 64 - 25
=> 39

39 is an Odd Number.
Hence, proved.

[tex]\sf C) \ x = -1\dfrac{2}{5} , \ y = \ 1\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]

Given equations:

a) -3x + 3y = 9b) 2x - 7y = -14

Make x the subject in equation 1:

-3x + 3y = 9-3x = 9 - 3yx = y - 3

Substitute this into equation 2:

2(y - 3) - 7y = -14

2y - 7y = -14 + 6

-5y = -8

  y = -8/-5

  y = 1.6

Then x = y - 3

           = 1.6 - 3

           = -1.4

A bookshelf has 96 books. 64 of the books are fiction and the rest are non-fiction. (a) What fraction of the books are fiction? Give your answer in its simplest form. (b) What fraction of the books are non-fiction?​

Answers

(a) The fraction of books that are fiction is 2/3.

(b) The fraction of books that are non-fiction is 1/3.

To find the fraction of fiction and non-fiction books on a bookshelf:

Given: A bookshelf has 96 books. 64 of the books are fiction and the rest are non-fiction books. (a)Fraction of fiction books =?

(b)Fraction of non-fiction books =?

Now,

As given, we have,

The total number of books on a bookshelf = 96

Out of 96, the total number of fiction books = 64

So,

The remaining number of books = non-fiction books = 96-64 = 32

(a) Fraction of fiction books = fiction books/total books

= 64/96

On simplification,

= 2/3

(b) Fraction of non-fiction books = non-fiction books/total books

= 32/96

= 1/3

Therefore, the fraction of fiction and non-fiction books is 2/3 and 1/3 respectively.

Please help me solve problems a - d.

Answers

By defining and solving systems of equations, we will see that:

a) the fraction is 40/56

d) the fraction is 15/21.

How to write the equations?

We have the fraction 5/7 and we want to write it in different ways.

a) First we want to find a number a/b such that:

a/b = 5/7

a + b = 96

This is a little system of equations, to solve this, first we can rewrite the first equation as:

7a = 5b

Now we can isolate a on the second equation:

a = 96 - b

And replace that on the other equation:

7*(96 - b) = 5b

And now we can solve this for b.

672 - 7b = 5b

672 = 5b + 7b = 12b

672/12 = b = 56

And we know that:

a = 96 - b = 96 - 56 = 40

Then the fraction is 40/56

d) This time we want the denominator to be 9 less than twice the numerator.

in a/b, a is the numerator and b is the denominator.

So this time we have:

a/b = 5/7

b = 2a - 9

We can rewrite the first equation again:

7a = 5b

And then replace the other equation in the right side:

7a = 5*(2a - 9)

And now solve this for a.

7a = 10a - 45

45 = 10a - 7a = 3a

45/3 = a = 15.

And:

b = 2a - 9 = 2*15 - 9 = 21

Then the fraction is 15/21.

One complete period of a non-transformed cotangent function is π.

For example, f(T+x)=f(x)

where T is the period of the function.

Here given that there is a non-transformed function cotangent function.

We have to find the period of the function in which interval the value of the function will repeat.

So for the function y=f(x)=cot x

the period of the function is π. means after π the value of the cotangent repeats.

cot(π+x)=cot x

disributivity of multiplication over addition for rational numbers solve : -3/4 , 2/3 and -5/6 = 1/8 ? how ?​

Answers

The distributive property of multiplication over addition for rational numbers is (a) -3/4 × {2/3 + (-5/6)} = [-3/4 × 2/3] + [-3/4 × (-5/6)]

Complete question

Which of the following is an example of distributive property of multiplication over addition for rational numbers

(a) -3/4 × {2/3 + (-5/6)} = [-3/4 × 2/3] + [-3/4 × (-5/6)]

(b) -3/4 × {2/3 + (-5/6)} = [3/4 × 2/3] - (-5/6)

(c) -3/4 × {2/3 + (-5/6)} = 2/3 + (-3/4) × -5/6

(d) -3/4 × {2/3 + (-5/6)} = {2/3 + (-5/6)} - 3/4

How to determine the correct distributive property?

The distributive property of multiplication states that:

a * (b + c) = (a * b) + (a * c)

From the given question, we have:

-3/4 × {2/3 + (-5/6)}

This means that:

a = -3/4

b = 2/3

c = -5/6

Recall that a * (b + c) = (a * b) + (a * c)

So, we have:

-3/4 × {2/3 + (-5/6)} = [-3/4 × 2/3] + [-3/4 × (-5/6)]

Hence, the distributive property of multiplication over addition for rational numbers is (a) -3/4 × {2/3 + (-5/6)} = [-3/4 × 2/3] + [-3/4 × (-5/6)]

A sign on a roadway at the top of a mountain indicates that for the next 4 miles, the grade is 10.5°. Find the change in elevation over that distance for a car descending the mountain. Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

the change in elevation is -0.73 miles (the negative sign is because the new elevation is smaller than the initial one).

How to find the change in elevation?

To do this, we can think on the situation as a right triangle, where the hypotenuse is 4 miles, the angle that we look at measures 10.5°, and the change in elevation (let's call it x) will be the opposite cathetus to that angle.

Then we can use the relation:

Sin(a) = (opposite cathetus)/(hypotenuse)

Replacing what we know, we get:

sin(10.5°) = x/4mi

x = sin(10.5°)*4mi = 0.73mi

So the change in elevation is -0.73 miles (the negative sign is because the new elevation is smaller than the initial one).
