In the equation $\frac{3}{4}(8x - 12) + kx = 10x - 9$ , $k$ is a constant. If the equation has infinitely many solutions, what is the value of $k$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 4

Cevap

The value of

k

is

4

.

Distributing the fraction on the left side of the equation yields

\frac{3}{4}(8x) - \frac{3}{4}(12) = 6x - 9

. Substituting this back gives

6x - 9 + kx = 10x - 9

. Factoring out

x

on the left side gives

(6 + k)x - 9 = 10x - 9

. For a linear equation to have infinitely many solutions, the coefficients of

x

on both sides must be identical, and the constants must be identical. Since the constants on both sides are already

-9

, we set the coefficients equal:

6 + k = 10

. Subtracting 6 from both sides gives the correct value

k = 4

In the equation below, $a$ and $b$ are constants.

\frac{1}{3}(2a - 5x) - \frac{3}{4}(x - b) = -\frac{29}{12}x + 5

If the equation has infinitely many solutions for $x$ , what is the value of $8a + 9b$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 60

Cevap

The value of

8a + 9b

is

60

.

To find the value of

8a + 9b

that makes the equation have infinitely many solutions, we first expand and simplify the left side of the equation:

\frac{2}{3}a - \frac{5}{3}x - \frac{3}{4}x + \frac{3}{4}b = -\frac{29}{12}x + 5

. Combining the

x

terms gives

-\frac{29}{12}x + \(\frac{2}{3}a + \frac{3}{4}b\) = -\frac{29}{12}x + 5

. Since the coefficients of

x

on both sides are equal (

-\frac{29}{12}

), the equation will have infinitely many solutions if the constant terms on both sides are also equal. This requires

\frac{2}{3}a + \frac{3}{4}b = 5

. Multiplying this entire equation by the least common multiple of the denominators, which is 12, yields

8a + 9b = 60

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Distribute the constants through the parentheses on the left side of the equation.

\frac{2}{3}a - \frac{5}{3}x - \frac{3}{4}x + \frac{3}{4}b = -\frac{29}{12}x + 5

This separates the variable terms from the constant terms so the equation can be simplified.

2

Combine the coefficients of the

x

terms on the left side using 12 as the common denominator.

-\frac{29}{12}x + \frac{2}{3}a + \frac{3}{4}b = -\frac{29}{12}x + 5

Simplifying the variable terms allows us to compare the coefficients on both sides of the equation.

3

Equate the constant terms from the left and right sides of the equation.

\frac{2}{3}a + \frac{3}{4}b = 5

A linear equation has infinitely many solutions when the coefficients of the variable on both sides are equal and the constant terms on both sides are also equal.

4

Multiply both sides of the equation by 12 to eliminate the fractional denominators.

8a + 9b = 60

Multiplying the equation by the common denominator directly evaluates the target expression

8a + 9b

.

A factory manufactures solar panels at a constant rate. At the start of a morning shift, the factory has already manufactured $80$ solar panels. The total number of solar panels manufactured $t$ hours after the shift begins is modeled by a linear function. If the factory has manufactured a total of $200$ solar panels $3$ hours after the shift begins, how many hours after the shift begins will the factory have manufactured a total of $440$ solar panels?

To find the time when the total number of solar panels reaches

440

, we first determine the constant rate of production. The change in solar panels over the first

3

hours is

200 - 80 = 120

panels. Dividing by the

3

hours gives a constant rate of

40

panels per hour. The linear equation representing the total panels is

N(t) = 40t + 80

. Setting

N(t) = 440

gives

440 = 40t + 80

, which simplifies to

360 = 40t

. Solving for

t

yields

t = 9

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the constant rate of production (slope) of the linear function.

The rate is

40

solar panels per hour.

The factory starts with

80

solar panels and reaches

200

solar panels in

3

hours. The rate of change is the change in the number of panels divided by the change in time:

\frac{200 - 80}{3 - 0} = \frac{120}{3} = 40

panels per hour.

2

Write the linear equation representing the total number of solar panels manufactured,

N(t)

, after

t

hours.

N(t) = 40t + 80

Since the initial quantity is

80

and the rate of production is

40

panels per hour, the linear function is

N(t) = 40t + 80

.

3

Solve for the time

t

when the total number of solar panels is

440

.

t = 9

hours

Set

N(t) = 440

in the equation:

440 = 40t + 80

. Subtract

80

from both sides to get

360 = 40t

. Divide both sides by

40

to find

t = 9

In the equation $\frac{1}{2}(kx - 4) - \frac{2}{3}(x - k) = \frac{5}{6}x - 1$ , where $k$ is a constant, the equation has no solution for $x$ . What is the value of $k$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 3

Cevap

The value of the constant

k

for which the equation has no solution is

3

.

For a linear equation of the form

Ax + B = Cx + D

to have no solution, the coefficients of the variable terms must be equal (

A = C

) but the constant terms must be unequal (

B \neq D

). Distributing the terms on the left side of the given equation and grouping them yields

\left(\frac{1}{2}k - \frac{2}{3}\right)x + \left(\frac{2}{3}k - 2\right) = \frac{5}{6}x - 1

. Setting the coefficients of

x

equal to each other gives

\frac{1}{2}k - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{6}

. Adding

\frac{2}{3}

to both sides yields

\frac{1}{2}k = \frac{9}{6}

, or

\frac{1}{2}k = \frac{3}{2}

, which simplifies to

k = 3

. Evaluating the constant terms when

k = 3

gives

\frac{2}{3}(3) - 2 = 0

on the left side and

-1

on the right side. Since

0 \neq -1

, the equation has no solution when

k = 3

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Distribute the fractional coefficients on the left side of the equation.

\frac{1}{2}kx - 2 - \frac{2}{3}x + \frac{2}{3}k = \frac{5}{6}x - 1

To separate the variable terms from the constants for further algebraic manipulation.

2

Group the terms on the left side into a coefficient for

x

and a single constant term.

\left(\frac{1}{2}k - \frac{2}{3}\right)x + \left(\frac{2}{3}k - 2\right) = \frac{5}{6}x - 1

To represent the equation in the standard linear format

Ax + B = Cx + D

.

3

Set the coefficients of

x

from both sides equal to each other.

\frac{1}{2}k - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{6}

A linear equation has no solution when the variable terms on both sides cancel out, requiring their coefficients to be identical.

4

Solve the linear equation to isolate the constant

k

.

k = 3

Add

\frac{2}{3}

to both sides to get

\frac{1}{2}k = \frac{9}{6}

, which simplifies to

\frac{1}{2}k = \frac{3}{2}

. Multiplying both sides by

2

yields

k = 3

.

5

Verify that the constant terms are not equal when substituting

k = 3

The left-side constant is

0

To avoid working with fractions, multiply every term in the equation by

6

(the least common multiple of

2, 3, 6

) at the start:

3(kx - 4) - 4(x - k) = 5x - 6

. Expand the parentheses to get

3kx - 12 - 4x + 4k = 5x - 6

, and group the terms:

(3k - 4)x + (4k - 12) = 5x - 6

. For there to be no solution, set the coefficients of

x

equal to each other:

3k - 4 = 5 \implies 3k = 9 \implies k = 3

. Check the constant terms with

k = 3

:

4(3) - 12 = 0

, which is unequal to

-6

k = 3

The correct answer is

0.5

(or

1/2

f(x) = px + q

passes through

(2, 7)

, which means

7 = 2p + q

L

is parallel to

f

, so its slope is

p

, and its

y

-intercept is

q - 3

. Thus, the equation of line

L

is

y = px + q - 3

. Since line

L

has an

x

-intercept at

(-6, 0)

, we can substitute

x = -6

and

y = 0

into its equation, yielding

0 = -6p + q - 3

. Substituting

q = 7 - 2p

into this equation gives

0 = -6p + (7 - 2p) - 3

Instead of solving for

L

passes through

p

, so its equation is

y = p(x + 6)

, or

y = px + 6p

y

-intercept of

L

is

6p

. The

y

-intercept of the graph of

f

is

q

. We are given that the

y

-intercept of

L

is

3

units below the

y

-intercept of

f

, so

6p = q - 3

. Since

f

passes through

(2, 7)

, we have

7 = 2p + q

, which means

q = 7 - 2p

. Substituting this into

6p = q - 3

gives

6p = (7 - 2p) - 3

, or

6p = 4 - 2p

. Adding

2p

to both sides gives

8p = 4

, which results in

p = 0.5

, where

h

is the number of hours. Subtracting

35

from both sides gives

12h = 60

. Dividing both sides by

12

dollars multiplied by the number of hours

h

.

2

Subtract the flat fee from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable term.

12h = 60

Subtracting

35

from both sides simplifies the equation to find the total hourly charge portion of the cost.

3

Divide by the hourly rate to solve for the number of hours

h

h = 5

Dividing both sides by

If the volume of water in the tank, in gallons, is a linear function of the time in minutes, how many minutes will it take for the tank to contain exactly 4 gallons of water?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 16

Cevap

16

The volume of water in the tank decreases linearly from an initial value of

24

gallons at

t = 0

to

14

gallons at

t = 8

. The constant rate of change (slope) is calculated by dividing the change in volume by the change in time:

\frac{14 - 24}{8 - 0} = -1.25

gallons per minute. Using the slope-intercept form, the volume

V

at time

t

is given by

V = -1.25t + 24

. Setting the volume

V = 4

gives the equation

4 = -1.25t + 24

. Solving for

t

yields

-20 = -1.25t

, which simplifies to

t = 16

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the initial state and the state after 8 minutes as coordinate points.

The initial state is

(0, 24)

and the state after

8

minutes is

(8, 14)

.

These coordinates represent the relationship between time and volume of water in the tank.

2

Calculate the slope (constant rate of change) of the linear function.

Slope

m = \frac{14 - 24}{8 - 0} = -1.25

The slope represents the constant rate at which water is being drained from the tank.

3

Formulate the linear equation.

V(t) = -1.25t + 24

Using the slope-intercept form

V(t) = mt + b

, where

b = 24

is the vertical intercept representing the initial volume.

4

Solve for the time

t

when the volume of water is

4

gallons.

4 = -1.25t + 24 \implies -20 = -1.25t \implies t = 16

To find the time at which the volume decreases to exactly

4

gallons.

If $\frac{2}{5}(3x - 4) - \frac{1}{3}(2x + 5) = \frac{1}{5}x + \frac{11}{15}$ , what is the value of $2x - 7$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 17

Cevap

The correct answer is 17.

To find the value of

2x - 7

, first solve the linear equation for

x

. Distributing the coefficients on the left side of the equation gives

\frac{6}{5}x - \frac{8}{5} - \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{5}{3} = \frac{1}{5}x + \frac{11}{15}

. Combining the variable terms and constants on the left side results in

\frac{8}{15}x - \frac{49}{15} = \frac{3}{15}x + \frac{11}{15}

. Subtracting

\frac{3}{15}x

and adding

\frac{49}{15}

to both sides yields

\frac{5}{15}x = \frac{60}{15}

, which simplifies to

\frac{1}{3}x = 4

, or

x = 12

. Finally, substituting 12 into the expression

2x - 7

gives

2(12) - 7 = 17

.

To eliminate parentheses and allow grouping of like terms.

2

Combine the variable terms and the constant terms on the left side using a common denominator of 15.

\frac{8}{15}x - \frac{49}{15} = \frac{3}{15}x + \frac{11}{15}

To simplify the linear equation into a standard two-sided form.

The correct answer is 5, representing the y-coordinate of the y-intercept of the graph of f.

To find the

y

-intercept of the linear function, we first determine its slope using the points

(2, 11)

and

(4, 17)

Cevap: 12

Cevap

12

First, find the slope of the given line by rewriting

3x + 4y = 48

in slope-intercept form:

y = -\frac{3}{4}x + 12

. The slope is

-\frac{3}{4}

. The graph of the linear function

f

is perpendicular to this line, so its slope is the negative reciprocal,

\frac{4}{3}

. With a

y

-intercept of

(0, q)

, the equation of

f

is

y = \frac{4}{3}x + q

. Setting

y = 0

gives the

x

-intercept

(p, 0) = (-\frac{3}{4}q, 0)

. The distance between these intercepts is

\sqrt{(-\frac{3}{4}q)^2 + q^2} = \sqrt{\frac{25}{16}q^2} = \frac{5}{4}q

(since

q > 0

). Given that the distance is

15

, we solve

\frac{5}{4}q = 15

to find

q = 12

The slope of the line is

-\frac{3}{4}

.

To find the slope of the perpendicular line

f

, we first need the slope of the given line. Rewriting

3x + 4y = 48

in slope-intercept form gives

y = -\frac{3}{4}x + 12

Find the

x

-intercept of

f

in terms of

q

.

The

x

-intercept of

f

is

(-\frac{3}{4}q, 0)

.

Since the

y

-intercept of

f

is

(0, q)

, the equation of

f

is

y = \frac{4}{3}x + q

. Setting

y = 0

gives

0 = \frac{4}{3}x + q

, which simplifies to

x = -\frac{3}{4}q

.

4

Use the distance formula between the intercepts to solve for

q

.

The value of

q

is

12

.

The distance between

(-\frac{3}{4}q, 0)

and

(0, q)

is

\sqrt{(-\frac{3}{4}q)^2 + q^2} = \sqrt{\frac{25}{16}q^2} = \frac{5}{4}q

since

q > 0

. Setting this distance to

15

gives

\frac{5}{4}q = 15

, which yields

q = 12

The correct answer is 9.

The correct answer is 9. Expanding the left side of the equation yields

\left(1 + \frac{3}{4}b\right)x - \left(6 + \frac{2}{3}a\right)

, and simplifying the right side yields

\frac{5}{2}x - 8

. For the linear equation to have infinitely many solutions, the coefficient of

x

on the left,

1 + \frac{3}{4}b

b = 2

. Similarly, the constant term on the left,

-\left(6 + \frac{2}{3}a\right)

, must equal the constant term on the right,

-8

Expand both sides of the equation to collect like terms.

If the graph of $f$ passes through the point $(4, 4)$ and has a slope less than $-1$ , what is the $y$ -coordinate of the $y$ -intercept of the graph of $f$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 12

Cevap

The

y

-coordinate of the

y

-intercept of the graph of

f

is

12

.

The correct answer is

12

because the system of equations derived from the area constraint (

qr = 72

) and the point constraint (

q+r=18

) yields two possible values for the

y

-intercept:

6

or

12

. The condition that the slope must be less than

-1

means that the line must be steeper than a slope of

-1

, which requires the

y

-intercept to be larger than the

x

-intercept (

r > q

). Thus, the

y

-intercept is

12

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Express the equation of the line using intercept form.

\frac{x}{q} + \frac{y}{r} = 1

, where

q > 0

is the

x

-intercept and

r > 0

is the

y

-intercept.

Since the line intersects the positive axes, this form directly relates the intercepts to the coordinates of points on the line.

2

Use the area of the triangle to find a relationship between

q

and

r

.

qr = 72

The area of the right triangle formed by the axes and the intercepts is given by

\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2}qr = 36

.

3

Substitute the point

(4, 4)

into the equation of the line and simplify using the area relationship.

q + r = 18

Plugging in

x = 4

and

y = 4

yields

\frac{4}{q} + \frac{4}{r} = 1 \implies 4(q + r) = qr

. Substituting

qr = 72

gives

4(q + r) = 72 \implies q + r = 18

.

4

Solve the system of equations

q + r = 18

and

qr = 72

.

(q, r) = (6, 12)

or

(q, r) = (12, 6)

Substituting

r = 18 - q

into

qr = 72

yields

q(18 - q) = 72 \implies q^2 - 18q + 72 = 0 \implies (q - 6)(q - 12) = 0

.

5

Apply the slope condition to determine the unique value of

r

.

r = 12

The slope of the line is

m = -\frac{r}{q}

. If

q = 12

and

r = 6

, then

m = -0.5

, which is not less than

-1

. If

q = 6

and

r = 12

, then

m = -2

, which is less than

-1

. Thus,

r = 12

is the correct

y

-intercept.

Cevap: 27

The value of the linear function evaluated at 15 is 27.

To find

f(15)

for the linear function, we determine its constant rate of change. Using points

(3, 7)

and

(6, 12)

, the change in

f(x)

is

12 - 7 = 5

for a change in

x

of

6 - 3 = 3

. This gives a slope of

\frac{5}{3}

. Using point-slope form with

(3, 7)

gives the equation

f(x) - 7 = \frac{5}{3}(x - 3)

, which simplifies to

f(x) = \frac{5}{3}x + 2

. Substituting

x = 15

yields

f(15) = \frac{5}{3}(15) + 2 = 25 + 2 = 27

. Alternatively, since

x

increases by 6 from 9 to 15, which is twice the step size of 3, the value of

f(x)

must increase by

2 \times 5 = 10

from

17

17 + 10 = 27

.
