One equation in a system of linear equations has a slope of -3. The other equation has a slope of 4. How many solutions does the system have? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Exactly 1 solution

=============================================================

Explanation:

When two lines have different slopes like this, it means the two lines are not parallel. Recall parallel lines are when the slopes are equal (the rise and run are the same, so you can think of it like the same stair-step pattern).

Non-parallel lines intersect at exactly one location. This point of intersection is the solution to the system of equations.

----------------------------

A more in-depth look (optional section)

Let's consider the system of equations shown below

[tex]\begin{cases}y = mx+b\\y = mx+c\end{cases}[/tex]

For each equation shown here, the m values are the same slope. However, b and c are different values (in other words, [tex]b \ne c[/tex]). This system describes any two parallel lines that aren't vertical.

Since we're dealing with the same y value, we can apply substitution to try to solve for x. But we run into a problem

y = mx+b

mx+c = mx+b ... replace y with mx+c

c = b .... subtract mx from both sides

But we stated that c and b were different, and not equal. This is a contradiction. So if we had a system of this form, then we have 2 parallel lines that lead to no solution. We call this an inconsistent system.

Next, we'll consider this system of equations

[tex]\begin{cases}y = mx+b\\y = nx+c\end{cases}[/tex]

The only thing different here is the second equation has n instead of m as its slope. We'll assume that m and n are not equal to each other. If m = n, then we just end up with the previous scenario. Let's try to solve x now

y = mx+b

nx+c = mx+b

nx-mx = b-c

(n-m)x = b-c

x = (b-c)/(n-m)

Assuming [tex]m \ne n[/tex], we can generate one solution for x as shown above. This single solution for x generates a corresponding single solution for y. So overall, this proves that we have one ordered pair (x,y) solution to this system.

In short, I've shown that if m and n are different slopes, then the system of equations has exactly one solution.

A circle is centered at C(0,0)C(0,0)C, left parenthesis, 0, comma, 0, right parenthesis. The point M(0,\sqrt{38})M(0,38 )M, left parenthesis, 0, comma, square root of, 38, end square root, right parenthesis is on the circle.

Where does the point N(-5,-3)N(−5,−3)N, left parenthesis, minus, 5, comma, minus, 3, right parenthesis lie?

Answers

Answer:

Inside the circle, a distance of [tex]\sqrt{34}[/tex] from the center of the circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Center of circle is at (0,0)

One point of the circle is at (0,[tex]\sqrt{38}[/tex])

Since the only known point is in the y-axis, the radius of the circle must be [tex]\sqrt{38}[/tex].

[tex]\sqrt{38}[/tex] = 6.164

So the point (-5,-3) is still inside the circle as the distance from point (-5,-3) to the center of the circle is [tex]\sqrt{(5)^2+(-3)^2}[/tex] or [tex]\sqrt{34}[/tex] which is less than the radius of the circle.

Point N(-5, -3) lies inside the circle.

We have,

To determine the location of point N(-5, -3) in relation to the given circle centered at C(0, 0), we can calculate the distance between point C and point N.

- If the distance is equal to the radius of the circle, then N lies on the circle.

- If the distance is greater than the radius, N lies outside the circle.

- If it is smaller, N lies inside the circle.

Let's calculate the distance between C(0, 0) and N(-5, -3):

Distance = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

= √[(-5 - 0)² + (-3 - 0)²]

= √[25 + 9]

= √34

Since the distance (√34) is less than the radius of the circle, which is √38 (distance between C and M), we can conclude that the point N(-5, -3) lies inside the circle centered at C(0, 0).

Thus,

Point N(-5, -3) lies inside the circle.

Kayla bought 8 hot dogs and hamburgers for her and her friends. Hot dogs cost $1.50 and hamburgers cost $1.75. If she spent a total of $13.25, how many hot dogs did she buy?

Answers

Answer:

5 hamburgers and 3 hot dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

D = number of hot dogs

H = number of hamburgers

D + H = 8    then  D = 8 - H

1.50D + 1.75H = 13.25

substitute for D

1.50(8-H) + 1.75H = 13.25

12-1.50H + 1.75H = 13.25

subtract 12 from each side

-1.50H + 1.75H = 1.25

0.25H = 1.25

divide both sides by 0.25

H = 5

D = 8-5

D = 3

substitute  a  with  3 x  and  b  with 5:

( 3 x + 5 ) ( 3 x − 5 ) = ( 3 x ) 2 −5^ 2 = 9 x ^2 − 25

( 3 x + 5 )( 3 x − 5 ) =  9 x ^2 − 25

The ratio of the perimeter of a square A and square B is 4:3. The side of square B is 3 m less than the side
of square A. What is the length of the side of square A?
please answer

Answers

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

x = length of side of square A

'x-3' represents length of side of square B

Perimeter of square A = 4x

Perimeter of square A = 4x - 12

we can set up the following proportion based on ratio of 4:3

4x / 4 = 4x - 12 / 3

cross-multiply:

4(3x) = 4(4x-12)

12x = 16x - 48

-4x = -48

x = 12
