Q. Consider the system of equations. Which of the following statements is true?Choose 1 answer:(A) There is only one solution (e,f) and e⋅f is positive.(B) There is only one solution (e,f) and e⋅f is negative.(C) There are infinitely many solutions.(D) There are no solutions.
Simplify first equation: First, let's simplify the first equation by distributing the 5 on the right side.11e−9f+1=5f−15eNow, let's combine like terms.11e+15e=5f+9f+126e=14f+1
Combine like terms: Next, we can express f in terms of e using the second equation.2f+4e=32f=3−4ef=23−4e
Express f in terms of e: Now, let's substitute the expression for f from the second equation into the first equation.26e=14(23−4e)+126e=7(3−4e)+126e=21−28e+126e+28e=2254e=22e=5422e=2711
Substitute f into first equation: With the value of e found, we can now solve for f. f=23−4(2711) f=23−2744 f=25481−44 f=5437/2 f=10837 f=10837
Solve for e: Now that we have the values of e and f, we can check if the product e⋅f is positive or negative.e⋅f=(2711)⋅(10837)e⋅f=2916407Since both e and f are positive, their product is also positive.
Solve for f: Finally, we need to verify that this solution satisfies both original equations.Substitute e=2711 and f=10837 into the second equation:2(10837)+4(2711)=310874+2744=3(74+2×44)/108=3(74+88)/108=3108162=33=3This confirms that the solution satisfies the second equation.
Check sign of e⋅f: Now, let's check the first equation with the found values of e and f. 11(2711)−9(10837)+1=5(10837−3(2711)) 27121−108333+1=108185−15(2711) (121⋅4−333+108⋅4)/108=(185−15⋅44)/108 (484−333+432)/108=(185−660)/108 108583=−108475 108583=−108475 This confirms that the solution satisfies the first equation.
