Let's go through each question one at a time based on the information provided.
1. Points as Solutions to the System
Given the equations:
- \(y = 2x + 2\)
- \(y = 2x - 4\)
To determine if the points \((0, 2)\) and \((0, -4)\) are solutions:
-
For \((0, 2)\):
- Substitute \(x = 0\) into both equations:
- \(y = 2(0) + 2 = 2\) (satisfies the first equation)
- \(y = 2(0) - 4 = -4\) (does not satisfy the second equation)
Thus, \((0, 2)\) is a solution to the first equation, but not to the second.
-
For \((0, -4)\):
- Substitute \(x = 0\):
- \(y = 2(0) + 2 = 2\) (does not satisfy the first equation)
- \(y = 2(0) - 4 = -4\) (satisfies the second equation)
Thus, \((0, -4)\) is a solution to the second equation, but not to the first.
Answer: Neither of these points are solutions.
2. Time when Divers are at the Same Depth
To estimate the time when the divers are at the same depth, we are looking for the point of intersection of their paths.
Based on the options given, and without a visual graph, we should decide based on the depth values that are negative (since both students are in the water) and check which time value logically fits:
- \((3.67, -7)\)
- \((3, -6)\)
- \((3.5, -6.5)\)
- \((3.5, 6.5)\) (not a valid option since y should be negative)
Among the three valid options:
- \((3, -6)\) looks like a solid midpoint for depth.
- \((3.5, -6.5)\) is also plausible with a decent approximation.
Given the trend for real-world under-water scenarios, we would lean towards:
Answer: (3.5, -6.5)
3. Best Approximate Solution to the System of Equations
Assuming the equations are graphed and we are looking for the intersection:
- \((3, 7)\)
- \((3.5, 7.5)\)
- \((-3, 7)\)
- \((-3.5, 7.5)\)
Without the visual, one would often check which values appear to intersect close together around the dimensions we've discussed. Given common graphical points, the estimates would be plausible around the central regions.
After reviewing potential intersections, typically if the lines were correctly positioned, the mid-point might suggest:
Answer: (3.5, 7.5)
4. System of Linear Equations with No Solution
We want to find the system where the lines are parallel (same slopes, different intercepts):
- \({4x + y = 17}\) and \({4x - y = 3}\)
- \({4x - y = -17}\) and \({4x + y = 3}\)
- \({4x - y = 17}\) and \({4x + y = 3}\)
- \({4x - y = 17}\) and \({4x - y = 3}\)
The last one has the same slope and y-intercept, thus identifies:
Answer: \({4x - y = 17} ; \text{and} ; {4x - y = 3}\)
In conclusion, the answers are:
- Neither of these points are solutions.
- (3.5, -6.5)
- (3.5, 7.5)
- \({4x - y = 17} ; and ; {4x - y = 3}\) has no solution.
