Answer:

Option A is correct.

The system of equation is inconsistent is;

2x+8y=6

5x+20y=2

Explanation:

* A system of equations is called an inconsistent system, if there is no solution because the lines are parallel.

* If a system has at least one solution, it is said to be consistent .

*A dependent system of equations is when the same line is written in two different forms so that there are infinite solutions.

(A)

2x+8y=6

5x+20y=2

This is inconsistent, because as shown below in the graph of figure 1 that the lines do not intersect, so the graphs are parallel and there is no solution.

(B)

5x+4y=-14

3x+6y=6

this system of equation is Consistent because it has exactly one solution as shown below in the graph of Figure 2 and also it is independent.

(C)

x+2y=3

4x+6y=5

this system of equation is Consistent because it has exactly one solution as shown below in the graph of Figure 3.

(D)

3x-2y=2

6x-4y=4

this is a consistent system and has an infinite number of solutions, it is dependent because both equations represent the same line. as shown below in the graph of Figure-4.

Therefore, the only Option A system of equation is inconsistent.

The system of equation is inconsistent is $\left\{ \begin{aligned}2x + 8y &= 6 \hfill\\5x + 20y &= 2 \hfill\\\end{aligned} \right..$ Option (a) is correct.

Further explanation:

Consider ${a_1}x + {b_1}y + {c_1}$ and ${a_2}x + {b_2}y + {c_2}.$

If $\dfrac{{{a_1}}}{{{a_2}}} \ne \dfrac{{{b_1}}}{{{b_2}}}$ then the system of equation has exactly one solution and the system of equations are consistent.

If $\dfrac{{{a_1}}}{{{a_2}}} = \dfrac{{{b_1}}}{{{b_2}}} = \dfrac{{{c_1}}}{{{c_2}}}$ then the system of equation has infinite many solution and the system of equations are consistent.

If $\dfrac{{{a_1}}}{{{a_2}}} = \dfrac{{{b_1}}}{{{b_2}}} \ne \dfrac{{{c_1}}}{{{c_2}}}$ then the system of equation has no solution and the system of equations are inconsistent.

Explanation:

In option (a),

$\dfrac{2}{5} = \dfrac{8}{{20}} \ne \dfrac{6}{2}$

Hence, system of equations is inconsistent.

Therefore, option (a) is correct.

In option (b),

$\dfrac{5}{3} \ne \dfrac{4}{6}$

Hence, system of equations is consistent.

Therefore, option (b) is not correct.

In option (c),

$\dfrac{1}{4} \ne \dfrac{2}{6}$

Hence, system of equations is consistent.

Therefore, option (c) is not correct.

In option (d),

$\dfrac{3}{6}&=\dfrac{{ - 2}}{{ - 4}}&=\dfrac{2}{4}$

Hence, system of equations is consistent.

Therefore, option (d) is not correct.

The system of equation is inconsistent is $\left\{ \begin{aligned}2x + 8y= 6\hfill\\5x + 20y = 2 \hfill\\\end{aligned}\right..$ Option (a) is correct.

Q3. a cyclist bikes x distance at 10 miles per hour and returns over the same path at 8 miles per hour. what is the cyclist's av

Sladkaya [172]

If he bikes for 10 miles per hour and 8 miles per hour for the same distance x miles, he went 10 miles per hour for x/10 hours, as Distance = Rate*Time and on the way back he would go for x/8 hours. So then he went 2x distance, in x/8 + x/10 hours. Since x/8 + x/10 = 10x/80 + 8x/80 = 18x/80 = 9x/40, he went 2x miles in 9x/40 hours. this can be converted into a rate with the above equation Distance = Rate*Time, so 2x=(9x/40) * Rate, thus we divide by 9x/40 on both sides to get 80x/9x = Rate, the x cancels out, and we get 80/9 Miles per hour.

Kruka [31]

Answer:

It would be A, or the first graph

Step-by-step explanation:

So we’ve now created an equation

2x + 3y ≤ 6

From here, we can convert this into something easier to read

y ≤ -2/3x + 2

Now, we know that the y-intercept is 2 so either A or B

We also know the shaded area should be below the line (because the smallest part of the “≤” is facing the y).

Therefore, the answer is A

Suppose the population of a town is 15,200 and is growing 2% each year. a. Write an equation to model the population growth. b.

AleksandrR [38]

<span>Try simplifying the number to start. For example, if the population of the town is 100 people and the population growth is 2%, then there will 102 people in the town next year (Y=1). Continue adding 2% to the population for each of 10 years to get the answer for the 10th year. Growth would be considered 100% of current population plus 2% additional for a total of 102% - convert 102% to to a factor and you will have your formula Y=15,200*1.02;18,529</span>

In 2012, on average, about $9.46\times10^{-1}$ pound of potatoes was produced for every $2.3\times10^{-5}$ acre harvested. How m

muminat

Answer:

4.113 × 10⁴ pounds per acre = 41,130 pounds per acre to the nearest pounds per acre

Step-by-step explanation:

9.46 × 10⁻¹ pounds of potatoes were produced for every 2.3 × 10⁻⁵ acre harvested. The average pounds of potatoes harvested per acre would be pounds of potatoes/acres harvested = 9.46 × 10⁻¹ pounds/2.3 × 10⁻⁵ acre = 4.113 × 10 ⁻¹⁻⁻⁵ = 4.113 × 10⁵⁻¹ = 4.113 × 10⁴ pounds per acre = 41,130 pounds per acre to the nearest pounds per acre.
