Answer:

the system of equation has infinite solution

Step-by-step explanation:

$5x_1 + x_2 = 0$ , $25x_1 + 5x_2 = 0$

Solve the first equation for x_2

Subtract 5x1 on both sides

$5x_1 + x_2 = 0$

$x_2 =-5x_1$

Now substitute -5x1 on second equation

$25x_1 + 5x_2 = 0$

$25x_1 + 5(-5x_1)= 0$

$25x_1-25x_1= 0$

0=0

So the system of equation has infinite solution

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of linear equations is expressed as

5x1 + x2 = 0 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

25x1 + 5x2 = 0 - - - - - - - - - - 2

The first step is to eliminate x2 by multiplying equation 1 by 5 and equation 2 by 1. It becomes

25x1 + 5x2 = 0

The next step is to subtract equation 2 from equation 1, it becomes

25x1 - 25x1 + 5x2 - 5x2 = 0

0 = 0

The system of equations has an infinite number of solutions. This means that for as many values of x that satisfies equation 1, they will also satisfy equation 2.

A dealer bought 3 gross buttons at $.38 a dozen. He sold the buttons at 5 cents each. How much was his profit per gross?(12 doze

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

$2.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling them at 5 cents each ($0.05), he could sell 1 dozen buttons for

12 * $0.05 = $0.60

As he bought them at $0.38 per dozen, the profit per dozen would be

$0.60 - $0.38 = $0.22

As 12 dozen is 1 gross, the profit per gross would be

12 * $0.22 = $2.64

Express f(x) = |x-2| +|x+2| in the non-modulus form. Hence, sketch the graph of f.

alexgriva [62]

Recall that

$|x|=\begin{cases}x&\text{if }x\ge0\\-x&\text{if }x$

There are three cases to consider:

(1) When $x+2$ , we have $|x+2|=-(x+2)$ and $|x-2|=-(x-2)$ , so

$|x-2|+|x+2|=-(x-2)-(x+2)=-2x-4$

(2) When $x+2\ge0$ and $x-2$ , we get $|x+2|=x+2$ and $|x-2|=-(x-2)$ , so

$|x-2|+|x+2|=-(x-2)+(x+2)=4$

(3) When $x-2\ge0$ , we have $|x+2|=x+2$ and $|x-2|=x-2$ , so

$|x-2|+|x+2|=(x-2)+(x+2)=2x$

So

$|x-2|+|x+2|=\begin{cases}-2x-4&\text{if }x$
