Heather writes the equations below to represent two lines drawn on the coordinate plane. –6x + 18y = 0 4x – 12y = 20 after applying the linear combination method, heather arrived at the equation 0 = 60. what conclusion can be drawn about the system of equations?

The system has no solution

Explanation:

You can check it graphically, the pair of equations represents two lines, if they never cross, or if they are parallel, the system of equations is inconsistent and has no solution.

I attached you two pictures in which you can see the graphical result.

The equation has no solution; therefore, the system of equations has no solution.

Explanation:

russian is not my first language, so i'm afraid i can't write out an answer in russian, but hopefully you can find a way to do so. here's my best translation of the problem: you're given a plot of a particle's position in one-dimensional space over time, and you're asked to find either the total distance traveled by the particle after 6 seconds had elapsed, or the total displacement of the particle after 6 seconds.

if you want the total distance traveled, you would first need to determine the particle's velocity as a function of time, then integrate that over the 6-second interval. we know the position function is quadratic with roots at 0 and 6, so we have

where is unknown. because the position is parabolic, there is symmetry about the midpoint at , and we know that

so that the position function is

which means the velocity is

then the total distance traveled is

so the total distance traveled is 20 m.

on the other hand, if you want to find displacement: the particle starts at and ends at , so its displacement is 0.
