Answer:

When a = 3 and b ≠ 5, the system will be inconsistent because the lines will be parallel. When a = 3 and b = 5, the system will be consistent and dependent because they represent the same line.

Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s).

Arada [10]

If $y=3x^2+30x+71$ , then
$y=3(x^2+10x)+71=3(x^2+2\cdot5x+25-25)+71$
$y=3((x+5)^2-25)+71=3(x+5)^2-75+71=3(x+5)^2-4$ . So, in the first gap you can write 5 and in the second you can write -4.
Since $(x+5)^2\ge 0$ , the minimum value of y is when $(x+5)^2=0$ . The solution of the last equation is x=-5 and then y=-4 -- these are numbers, which you can write in the third and fourth gaps.

A middle school band has 45 sixth and seventh graders The ratio of sixth to seventh graders is 2 to 3 how many sixth graders are

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2+3 = 5 ratio units representing 45 band members, so each ratio unit represents 45/5 = 9 band members.

The 2 ratio units of sixth graders represent 2×9 = 18 sixth grade band members.

Given the general identity tan X =sin X/cos X , which equation relating the acute angles, A and C, of a right ∆ABC is true?

irakobra [83]

First, note that $m\angle A+m\angle C=90^{\circ}.$ Then

$m\angle A=90^{\circ}-m\angle C \text{ and } m\angle C=90^{\circ}-m\angle A.$

Consider all options:

A.

$\tan A=\dfrac{\sin A}{\sin C}$

By the definition,

$\tan A=\dfrac{BC}{AB},\\ \\\sin A=\dfrac{BC}{AC},\\ \\\sin C=\dfrac{AB}{AC}.$

Now

$\dfrac{\sin A}{\sin C}=\dfrac{\dfrac{BC}{AC}}{\dfrac{AB}{AC}}=\dfrac{BC}{AB}=\tan A.$

Option A is true.

B.

$\cos A=\dfrac{\tan (90^{\circ}-A)}{\sin (90^{\circ}-C)}.$

By the definition,

$\cos A=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\tan (90^{\circ}-A)=\dfrac{\sin(90^{\circ}-A)}{\cos(90^{\circ}-A)}=\dfrac{\sin C}{\cos C}=\dfrac{\dfrac{AB}{AC}}{\dfrac{BC}{AC}}=\dfrac{AB}{BC},\\ \\\sin (90^{\circ}-C)=\sin A=\dfrac{BC}{AC}.$

Then

$\dfrac{\tan (90^{\circ}-A)}{\sin (90^{\circ}-C)}=\dfrac{\dfrac{AB}{BC}}{\dfrac{BC}{AC}}=\dfrac{AB\cdot AC}{BC^2}\neq \dfrac{AB}{AC}.$

Option B is false.

3.

$\sin C = \dfrac{\cos A}{\tan C}.$

By the definition,

$\sin C=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\cos A=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\tan C=\dfrac{AB}{BC}.$

Now

$\dfrac{\cos A}{\tan C}=\dfrac{\dfrac{AB}{AC}}{\dfrac{AB}{BC}}=\dfrac{BC}{AC}\neq \sin C.$

Option C is false.

D.

$\cos A=\tan C.$

By the definition,

$\cos A=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\tan C=\dfrac{AB}{BC}.$

As you can see $\cos A\neq \tan C$ and option D is not true.

E.

$\sin C = \dfrac{\cos(90^{\circ}-C)}{\tan A}.$

By the definition,

$\sin C=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\cos (90^{\circ}-C)=\cos A=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\tan A=\dfrac{BC}{AB}.$

Then

$\dfrac{\cos(90^{\circ}-C)}{\tan A}=\dfrac{\dfrac{AB}{AC}}{\dfrac{BC}{AB}}=\dfrac{AB^2}{AC\cdot BC}\neq \sin C.$

This option is false.
