Answer to Problem 4MCQ

The given system of equations has only one solution x=5 , y=1 , the solution is independent.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Algebra 1, Homework Practice Workbook (MERRILL ALGEBRA 1), Chapter 6, Problem 4MCQ

The given system of equations is

  x+y=6

  xy=4

Formulaused:

If a system has at least one solution, then it is said to be consistent. If a consistent system of equations has exactly one solution, it is independent .

If a consistent system has an infinite number of solutions, it is dependent,when graphed such equations, represent the same line. If a system has no solution, it is said to be inconsistent .The graphs of such equations do not intersect, i.e., graphs are parallel.

Graph:

The graph of given equations x+y=6 , and xy=4 is shown in Figure-1 here.

From the graph of equations we see that the lines intersect at a point (5, 1), therefore, x=5 , y=1 is the solution of equations x+y=6 and xy=4 .

Thus, the given system of equations has only one solution x=5 , y=1 so is consistent, and as there is only one solution so the solution is independent.

Conclusion:

The given system of equations hasonly one solution x=5 , y=1 , the only solution is independent.
